The Japanese Popstars – Vision/Heavy Hitter [Bedrock Records]
Vision/Heavy hitter is superb techno. In many ways is it classic, heavy hitting, and groovy. The drum beats are powerful and give your speakers a run for their money, the synths are varied and give the tracks a very interesting and unique vibe, and the vocals are trippy as you can get. I really enjoyed the use of dissonant synths to create a very frenetic feel on both of the original mixes. Their tension is almost palpable and really shows the talent of the artist to use instruments to create emotion. I also really enjoyed the use of bass on Sharooz’s remix. It gives the track a bit more energy and might honestly be a better take than the original mix. Give this EP a listen and tell us what you think. It also includes the Coyu remix of the track “Matter of Time” featuring Green Velvet. This final track makes the EP worth buying alone.
