Tokyo-based Risa Taniguchi brings an unmistakable style of dark techno, gritty basslines, moody atmospheres, and hypnotic grooves to the dance floor. Known for pushing the boundaries of modern techno, Risa has established herself as both a powerful DJ and producer, with releases across respected labels including Nicole Moudaber’s MOOD Records, Chris Liebing’s CLR, Kneaded Pains, Second State, and more.

After an unforgettable show last year with Circuit, we’re thrilled to bring Risa back to Phoenix, straight off her North America tour with Hiroko Yamamura. She joins us for our first SIMULATOR party at The Drop PHX! SIMULATOR is a series of forward thinking Pop-Ups in interesting and unique spaces. Are you ready to join the Simulation?

Supporting the night is a stacked lineup featuring Michelle Sparks, Freightrain, Cole Sparks from Tucson, and LILENE.

Join us as we break in a new space, bring back an international favorite, and continue building the Circuit community on the dance floor.
