Isagen – CHEERIO

My one of the best music pervert friends, Isagen, hailing from Shizuoka and currently lives in Kyoto, made a fresh UK Funky beat.

I didn’t know he is able to produce UK Funky stuff and I think he just followed how to make UK Funky beats.

But this song “CHEERIO”, which named from a typical domestic soft drink in Japan, has the essence of dance music.

I like it!

X-Batsu- ノL” ″」 – F00L B0Y

Hi guys, I’m back.

This time, I found a Japanese wonder boy, “X aka Batsu”, 20 years old and currently in Osaka.

And this article is about his new tune “F00L B0Y”, which has a melodic flute sound and trappy style bass.

He’s also been working on their online radio program on NOUS FM, as a member of Japanese young collective “sprout’sdub94”. You can hear some archives of the program on soundcloud.

Check out his Qrion bootleg remix and Amunoa mash up as well.

He has a bunch of great productions deserve to hear.

BRISA – The Bell / Illumination

Do you still remember the post about “Yudai Goto – Never Say Never” that I posted in the earlier this month?

This time, we have another native Nagoya (but he moved to Fukuoka recently) House music producer called “Brisa“.

And he just brought the new EP incl. 2 inspirable 4/4 songs via his bandcamp.

If you prefer solid and massive type of Techno or House music like Jimmy Edgar, you definitely should listen to “TheBell” first.

His minimal approach with its bouncy bassline works energetically to create a groovy vibe.

Hiroki Yamamura – Evil Disco Boots On Wax

I’ve got some positive reactions to my post about KΣITO – Juke Shit 2 and I decided to post more about Juke – 160 stuff from Japan.

Hiroki Yamamura released his new free EP which actually deserves to introduce on this blog.
He is posted up Hyogo, near Osaka, and has been pushing some enthusiasm by using a bunch of unique samples.

His tune “Juke Shiyouya Feat. TRAXMAN”, literally means “Let’s Juke!” in Japanese, made his name bigger in the Japanese Juke scene too.

You should keep an eye out for this guy.

Hiroki Yamamura is the next level.

NEGATiN and JP Grime scene

A Grime and wardub producer from the group Bass Lines Delight, NEGATiN is always taking part in producer wars locally and worldwide.

The Grime and Wardub scene in Japan is steadily growing with MC’s and producers like PAKIN, DUFFF, CatarrhNisin, Double Clapperz, vvotaro and of course NEGATiN all pushing the scene forward.

Since the Wardub Japan cup in 2013 (hosted by Chelsea JP) many producers in Japan have been introduced to the style of grime and wardub with NEGATiN being one of them, his releases during the cup earned him 18th place in the cup and his track “Grind Siren & Gun Shot riddim” was included on the Wardub JP survivors compilation.
Since then he has continued to produce and has taken part in the second Wardup JP cup as well as the Warsucka soundclashes. His production on the track “Party Style feat. CatarrhNisin, BEYOND / DUFFF (pro.NEGATIN)” will be included on the Grime City Vol. 2 release sometime in 2015!
NEGATiN is without a doubt one of my favourite grime producers and I’m always looking forward to his new tracks, You can hear him on the Elijah & Skilliam show below. – Velatix

FRONT! – Cigar & Moon Remixes

Japan’s 3rd biggest city, Nagoya got the new Internet-label called DFLTJP last year, and the label’s boss FRONT! just released the remix album of his debut EP “CIGAR & MOON” a week ago.

The ep includes his own rework of it and two remixes by Japanese future bass music don, Broken Haze and up and coming Techno~ House producer Yudai Goto, who has just released “Never Say Never” on TREKKIE TRAX in this month. You can grab the whole ep as free download.
