DJ Hi-Shock, the master-blaster behind Elektrax and its various thriving sub-labels, has been inspirational support for a multitude of experienced as well as up-and-coming talent over the past two years, putting his money where his mouth is by releasing their tracks.
Now he's finally returning to his own musical journey, and what better way to re-start the ride than with this track, named after the Tokyo to Nagano bullet train, aslo exclusively remixed for this release by Hideo Kobayashi (Nagano Kitchen), Ken Ishii and Gayle San!
Kicking off proceedings on the A-Side is Ishii's fellow Japanese wunderkind Hideo Kobayashi in a swirling, gritty keyboard-stab groove that's got Detroit written all over it. Then Hi-Shock takes the helm, running the power feed and making the track soar in sizzling new ways.
On the flip-side Ken Ishii goes electronic funk and cool, surly, bass and beat driven attitude, while Gayle San's remix eases back on the throttle to reinstate the groove and a staggering tech house ethic that demands to be heard and played.
Killer techno with tech house, Detroit and funk flavours thrown in for sublime measure, already charted by Hernan Cattaneo and supported by DJ Misjah, Sian, Steve Parry, Kirk Degiorgio, Tom Hades, Brothers Vibe, Dave Ellesmere, Andy Cato, Laurent Garnier and many other top DJ's.
