News: Last Japan drops new tracks + new mixtape
Oct 06, 09
Last time we checked in with this stellar South London twentysomething producer called Last Japan, it was to premiere a track he'd done with similar newcomer Kay Young, which mixed a cocktail of dirty grime standards with housey effects throughout. But now summer's over and months have past and today brings news of the best sort from his camp, in the form of four (!) new remix treatments and a flame-hot twenty-song mixtape that incorporates some of the best electro slayers from this past year or so alongside them. The Soft Toy Emergency remix is possibly one of the best indie electro treatments we've heard in 500 days, the edit of Polina's "Shotguns" will easily find a home amongst the soca front (ahem, Poirier) and this Tonka cut remains clubby, quirky and spellbinding. To just have us speak his praises only does really half of the work, as only a listen or two for yourself with get the ecstatic commendations flooding through.
