Title : Summer Tribe
Artist : Dragon Ash
8th single “Summer Tribe”
2000/7/12
From wiki
“Dragon Ash is a Japanese rap rock group founded in 1996.
They were one of the first groups to popularize hip hop in Japan. They brought a western flavor to Japanese music and helped to turn rap music mainstream,with a mixture of reggae, hip hop, metal, punk, drum ‘n’ bass, rhythm ‘n’ blues and Spanish music influences.Kenji has stated in several interviews that the reason Dragon Ash started out as a pseudo-punk band was because, at the time, punk was popular in Japan, and his handlers felt that the hip hop image would not sell. He has also noted that hip hop has always been first in his book, but he did what was necessary to become successful in the industry. Dragon Ash is a member of Mob Squad, which is an affiliation with the bands Source and Endive.”

Title : EZ DO STEP
Artist : DALLJUB STEP CLUB
E.P. “TOZAINANBOKU”
2019/12/4
From wiki
“DALLJUB STEP CLUB was formed in 2012 by GOTO as a drummer/fx (ex-DACOTA SPEAKER), Bench as a bass player/singer (ex-DACOTA SPEAKER) and Yuta Hoshi as a fx/singer (WOZNIAK).
Their sound is made of the powerful bass sound and the flowing/free drumming and electronics with improvisation and experimentalism. They are making truly alternative music embracing various music genres such as Dubstep, Jungle, Juke/Footwork, Techno/House, and HipHop. Each member has different music background and their sound is mixed with natural human beat and solid machine beat. That makes their music super unique and breaks the musical boundary between club music and live-band music. Their music might remind you of 54-71 or ZAZEN BOYS that are the bands also seeking new rhythms.
In 2013 Shingen Mori (Alaska Jam) joined the band as a synthesizer player/singer. Adding Mori’s pop and emotional synthesizer to their already fat and minimal funky sound, the band is entering new chapter. They are evolving themselves and no one can tell what’s next. Even the members can not tell. You’ve gotta keep your eyes on them.
