Trust

This is the third full-length release by Japan's veteran dance producer Hiroshi Watanabe aka Kaito for the Kompakt label. Kaito is a familiar whisper at the center of Kompakt's kaleidoscopic strobe light for the many loyalists that know the label well. Eight years have passed since he dropped the unsuspecting masterpiece "Beautiful Day" and he has steadily grown in beauty and stature, much like his son who has graced the cover of nearly all of his 13 releases for the label. Kaito remains one of Japan's biggest dance producers and undeniably one of the most respected artists from Asia, remaining a top three best-selling artist in Japan, USA and Greece for Kompakt. Trust signifies a change of pace for Kaito, who has created one of his most mature and meditative releases to date. Fear not, the euphoria remains - Kaito continues to flow through his melodies with a remarkable ease and grace that is rarely heard by producers today. Throughout Trust, Kaito seems to want to draw the listener into an aura of introspectiveness - carrying an elated earnestness that is sure to be welcomed by many considering these serious times, and certain to draw new fans to his already full table. Another classic moment for Kompakt from one of their most endearing and tranquil producers.
