Zach Saginaw, the Detroit-based producer who records under the name Shigeto, is returning to Portland on a victory lap after having one of his best years in 2015. In October, he released Intermission, a devilishly funky collection of playful synth melodies and stutter-step rhythms that cross the gap between downtempo and trap. A few months prior to that, Shigeto did an impressive collaboration with jazz trumpeter Dave Douglas. Their album, High Rise, allowed both artists to open up in ways they might not have dared on previous solo efforts, with Douglas warping his tones to achieve the strange beauty of post-fusion Miles Davis, and Shigeto floating through the mix dusting everything with impish squiggles and provocative drones.
