While he started out exploring offbeat hip-hop and retro jazz, Japanese producer Nobukazu Takemura is now perhaps best known for his ornate, melodic take on electronica. While he's created his share of complex, glitch-driven soundscapes Takemura's whimsical approach to avant-garde music is perhaps best summed up by the name of one of his aliases: Child's View. With their quirky beats, music-box melodies and neon-bright synths Takemura's intricate tracks mix the playful with the experimental, bringing a sense of childlike wonder to the high-tech world of IDM.
