Berlin-based Japanese techno darling Kyoka returns with a new album and nationwide tour. Signing with key German label Raster Noton in 2008, Kyoka has gained increasing attention for techno-pop deconstructions that bring a bright sense of play to dark, underground dance floors. Her monthlong tour for IS (Is Superpowered) has Kyoka touching down at Unit for a double-header with Manchester dub and techno trackmaker Andy Stott.
