installment, 'Melodic Journeys - Japan Vol. 2', compiled and mixed by our label
boss, Dave Pineda. We are showcasing electronic music producers from Japan in this
compilation.
Clean Tears - Lotus
Very clean and cool, Clean Tears brings us a very mystical tune by the name “Lotus”. Fantastic lands await to be journeyed in this grand track. Light and airy flutes play an Asian inspired melody as ambient bass lines reverberate in your ears to create an empire of sounds.
ITM - Flying Light
Pleasant warmth spreads like a fine mist as the ever progressive “Flying Light” warms up, in no rush, to its climax. ITM steers this fine ship, and the ride couldn’t be more smooth sailing, and relaxing.
KaNa - Snowfall in November
An incredible introduction builds up to the summit of Mt. Everest from the get go in “Snowfall in November”. We can always expect the same consistent quality delivered from KaNa. Through the sky and through the clouds, warm rays of sunlight meet us as we break through the stratosphere on this epic euphoric adventure.
Keisuke Kimura - Drop
“Drop” is on the busier side with glorious acoustics, that add intense escapism as it picks up the pace for an overall heightened aural experience. Keisuke Kimura pulled no stops with this one, as is plain to hear.
Kelotti - Haruka (06R Rework)
Delighted we are to have the 06R Rework of Kelotti’s “Haruka” added to this grand list of tunes. Beautiful piano riffs jam rapidly and fluidly around the arpeggios strategic placement, while electric synths subtlely grind and blast on such frequencies to suggest the vinyl may be stripped from the walls.
Nikio - Chirihama Beach
Traversing the sands on “Chirihama Beach” is said to be one of the most uplifting experiences on can have on earth. Padded synths travel onward over an almost skipping kick drum and percussion pattern.
Ryo Nakamura - Light Wind
The introduction to Ryo Nakamura’s “Light Wind” brings solace and light into the lives of those who listen. A solid introduction that starts light enough, and brings enough pounding bass to take you through til the end of your dreams. A very comfortable ride indeed.
Shion Hinano - Rin
Tickling square sign arpeggios rain down as the comforting bass line rises up into existence from below. In Shion Hinano’s “Rin” we’re treated with an alluring blends of melodic sounds that descend from the heavens on high, and calm the senses as they reach the ears.
Spawn - Masao
True melodic progressive can be found in Spawn’s “Masao”. A cleverly designed composition that induces a coma of aural pleasure. Light pads bounce along the pathway to your mind, lighting and dimming on each note, guiding the way to your inner self.
Tigerwall - I Was
Awesome cool squares pepper the soundscape over the hard synth main leads in “I Was” by Tigerwall. As we reach the climax, a torrent of sound emanates from the speakers that winds up and delivers only the most euphoric of sounds.
Tomoyuki Sakakida - Yamabiko
Tomoyuki Sakakida is back again with the killer “Yamabiko”. A truly wonderous track that holds within a blend of styles both ancient and of futuristic sound, that is bound to take you higher.
Yasuha. - Soar
“Soar” is aptly named for going beyond it’s highly sensitive sound, and piercing the heart with feelings of happiness and contentedness. Yasuha really knows how to elicit emotion in this simply awesome progressive tune.
