Shigeto is a highly acclaimed electronic music artist known for his unique blend of experimental beats and melodic compositions. With a sound that draws influences from jazz, hip-hop, and ambient music, Shigeto has created a distinct style that captivates listeners.

Whether performing live or producing in the studio, Shigeto consistently delivers captivating performances that showcase his technical skill and artistic vision.

Having collaborated with notable musicians like Daedelus and Machinedrum, Shigeto has established himself as a respected figure in the electronic music scene. His releases on labels such as Ghostly International have garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base worldwide. With each new release, Shigeto continues to push the boundaries of electronic music while staying true to his unique sound.

It’s been four years since Zach Saginaw, aka Shigeto, returned home to Michigan from a stint in Brooklyn, NY, and since then, the multi-faceted musician has become a part of the fabric of Detroit’s music scene. While always having a personal approach to his projects, Saginaw’s influences for his third album, The New Monday are more about the community of Detroit than anything else. Named after a weekly DJ event called Monday is the New Monday that Saginaw does at the unassuming Motor City Wine with a group of friends, The New Monday is the result of Saginaw diving into the city’s deep record culture, where there legacy of artist’s of the past help Saginaw embrace his own contributions. While, in the past, projects like Lineage or No Better Time Than Now were rooted in strong personal messages, family and relationships respectively, The New Monday represents a communal eort where solidarity is the key. Going for a simplified approach of just trying to make good tracks, The New Monday is diverse in its styles leaning more into a dance music direction – new ground for a Shigeto project. A new air of confidence in Saginaw has expanded his horizons since his return to Detroit, but traces of his past work will continue to be present. While The New Monday still features the jazz textures long associated with Shigeto projects, the varied elements that make up the album cohesively come together to show the distinct inspiration that Saginaw has drew from since his return home to Detroit. Like on Barry White, which features Detroit hip-hop artist ZelooperZ (a member of Danny Brown’s Bruiser Brigade crew who Saginaw also has a side project with called ZGTO), Saginaw captures everything he’s been doing all on one track. As much as it’s hip-hop influenced, it’s a mutant that encompasses elements of dance music, jazz, and ambient sounds
