AFRO CUBAN BLUE: Blue Note Percussion Compilation

I love jazz music with percussion sound. The album AFRO CUBAN BLUE: Blue Note Percussion Compilation was released by Blue Note Records in Japan. Features Blue Note songs with percussion sound such as Big Farm Boy Goes To A Latin City by Ronnie Foster, Always There by Ronnie Laws and Afrodisia by Kenny Dorham. Selected by Takahiro "matzz" Matsuoka, Japanese percussionist/DJ. His primary concern is that audience enjoys dancing in his concert. There is the belief in the album. All songs move me and make me dance!

MAUSI – Body Language -Years & Years Remix-

Mausi's impressive song Body Language gets some new versions. My favorite version is following in some remixes. Bass sound and bass drum move me deeply. I want to listen to this EDM remix at a club. It will make many dance music lovers excited.

Blondfire – Waves -The Soundmen Remix-

I found the cool remix of Blondfire's song Waves. It is performed by Soundmen in EDM style. The synthesizer sounds added newly have a deep impression on me. I love this sound.

Stay The Night -Acoustic Version from iTunes Session-

You can listen to the altenative version of Stay The Night performed by Zedd and Hayley Williams. Hayley sings on the piano played by Zedd. We can enjoy the beautiful melody of this song deeply. It will make you peaceful to listen to this acoustic version.

fox capture plan – Attack on fox

The impressive track Attack on fox is performed by fox capture plan, the jazz/rock band in Japan. The sound consists of three instruments: piano, bass and drums. You can touch the cool, sharp and powerful sound.

Music video gave me a deep impression. The mask worn by the performers expresses a fox in Japan. Foxes walk, run and dance here and there in this night. You will also be a fox after watching the video.

白安Ann – 麥田捕手 (The Catcher in the Rye)

白安 (Baian) is a singer in Taiwan. She was inspired by Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and then wrote this song. I love the vocal in English part, "but I'll catch your smile / I'm the catcher in the rye" in particular. Very cool, but pathetic.

Locations for the video shooting are Hakodate in Japan and some places in France. She walks or sings in the snow. Beautiful scenes.
