John Tokyoblu DJ Chart
Tokyoblu are getting geared up to conquer the UK this year, with a club tour, debut original releases, and plans to set up Glasgow Tokyoblu. Their music policy focuses on latin and african rhythms intermingling with house, and the following selection of tracks showcases the sounds that John Tokyoblu is currently diggin'. See online for our feature, Funkin' Along Nicely, about their upcoming fifth birthday and more.
1) Wrap my world - Cubetronix (C-90)
This tune is Tokyoblu thru and thru. Fanatastic catchy, driving and just a
bit odd with some great weird noises and effects, and a great vocal.
2) Foxy - Speaker Junk (Dubsided)
Absolutely blinding remix of Jimi Hendrix Foxy Lady, top notch party tune
which works pretty much everywhere.
3) Off Da Hook - Jesse Garcia (Stealth)
A very now record, great vocal hooks, nice squelchy electro noises and great
breakdowns; very catchy indeed - this is sure to be huge this summer.
4) Royal Rock - Hunteman (white)
Ace guitar-driven track which just builds and builds.
5) Set your soul - Tokyoblu (Volume mix) (CDR)
Excellent volume remix of one of our own tunes, brings in a dirty-assed
electro synth, which gives a great contrast to the summery hands in the air
Latin feel of the original.
6) Lollipop Machine - Roman Salzger (Opaque Music)
Full on electro funker for those prime-time moments.
7) Movin On - Inaya Day (oxyd)
Inaya Day has a great voice if harnessed properly, unfortunately some of her
recent material has been very ropey indeed. This however is a full-on party
startin' monster; great vocal on a really funky electro synth led track.
8) Cabaret - Coburn (Frontier)
Another guitar driven belter with a warm live feel by the awesome
Coburn of We Interrupt This Programme fame.
9) All Jacked Up - No Assembly Firm (Dotbleep)
Funky slice of Chicago with some great brass, an unashamed party tune
with a top notch bassline.
10) How Y'all Feelin - Joshua Heath (Salted US)
Nice early doors slice of funky chi-town with a nice, easy going, almost
live vibe.
