Following the release of the first ‘Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku’ compilation the label Cosmocities continues its research journey of music productions made from a Japanese point of view, thanks to another interesting selection curated by Matt Soulie. The second compilation from this series presents a sound really catchy and captivating, which really fits to the dancefloor. Afro, tribal, jazz and deep house sonorities gently contaminate the song themes. Music goes above national boundaries, breaking every cultural limit imposed by some restricted way of thinking, in fact, the remodeling of these styles by the Japanese artists is exciting, amazing and sometimes minimalistic.
