A unique producer with a unique style, Goth-Trad has emerged from the Japanese electronic scene in the last few years as one of the most
arresting artists from his generation. Freely playing samplers, keyboards and even self-made instruments, ‘The Sound Originator’ Goth-Trad creates remarkable dance music with an abstract approach.
He debuted on UK labels Skud Beats and Deep Medi Musik, with two 12” releases that quickly sold out; Rebel Familia released a new album, including collaborations with legends Arie Up and Max Romeo, and toured the release; in March he opened for Mala during the Japanese leg of the
DMZ tour, in May he played alongside Skream in Tokyo,and in July he toured the country again alongside Kode 9 and The Bug; in addition to all
this he’s also been collaborating with various artists on future projects, including Distance.
Faze 2 are please to be bringing Goth Trad back to the UK and Europe around October 2010.
Dates are booking fast for Goth Trad’s next tour of UK & Europe (25th September – 14th November 2010).
With quality productions and remixes such as his re-working of Skream’s ‘Sandsnake’ on Disfigured Dubz (see the video above) its not surprising that he’s considered one of the best in the industry by artists and clubbers alike.
Goth Trad’s next release will be on Deep Medi Music around late August / early September, so perfect timing for the tour.
If you’ve never experienced one of Goth Trad’s DJ sets, or if you just want to listen to Japan’s finest Dubstep export doing his thing on the decks, the mix below is a live recording from Goth’s own montly event Back to Chill in Osaka, Japan back in January 2010.

Here’s some more footage of Goth Trad live. This time at Dubwars in Heilbronn. With dates already confirming for his next tour of UK and Europe around October 2010, and more releases on Deep Medi Music confirmed for release before the tour, Goth Trad continues to become one of the biggest names in dubstep.
Remixes for Skream and Foreign Beggars (out soon) are indicative of his reputation among leading artists and with some of the biggest club shows in the UK already confirmed for his next tour, his reputation with the audience is also in no doubt. Goth Trad is an essential dubstep booking.

Goth Trad is back in Tokyo after his recent tour of the UK and Europe, which is sad for all us Europeans!
But the good news is that his next tour is already coming together and he will be back to these tepid climes in October 2010.
Before that, he’ll be working on some new music for Deep Medi, as well as looking forward to the birth of his new baby this summer.
In the meantime, the video should keep us happy. Taken from his Utrecht show (thats Holland people) this is a little reminder of what you can expect from Japan’s dub step master.
