A Universe Unseen: Chizawa Q Unveils Pioneering ‘Xenoverse’ Album On R&S Records

In a pivotal moment for the music industry, it’s rare to see an artist emerge with the power to redefine boundaries. Chizawa Q, has crafted a forward-thinking collection that proudly honors foundational influences while pushing into new sonic territory. His debut album on the powerhouse label R&S Records ‘Xenoverse’ is set for release November 22, 2024.

Born in Yokohama, Japan, Chizawa Q remains deeply rooted in his homeland, recording this full-length project across from Tokyo Bay. Following the success of two lead singles: ‘Beluga’ (October 4) and ‘Black Nebula’ (October 25) ‘Xenoverse’ channels the legacy of Detroit techno giants like Underground Resistance, Kenny Larkin, and Carl Craig, blended with European jazz techno innovators such as Dave Angel and Vince Watson. 

Chizawa describes his album as “a soundtrack to a universe not yet born – a sci-fi score stirring memories of a world we’ve never known. Being on R&S Records, a label with a legacy of showcasing Japanese artists like Ken Ishii, is a personal milestone.” 

With contributions from Masaki Sakamoto, Kowalewski, and Dan Samsa, as well as a remix by Tokyo drum ‘n’ bass icon Makoto Shimizu, ‘Xenoverse’ spans deep, driving techno and intricate electronica, creating a ten-track journey that blends jazz and abstract beat science for a unique, immersive experience.
