The Trekkie Trax gang have been keeping busy, and thankfully they made sure “releasing new songs onto SoundCloud” remained one of the collective’s mission. Seimei & Taimei’s “Orion” is a fizzy dance track, one that swerves through several high-energy passages, but is always lithe. Listen below.
Hoshina Anniversary returns with a new remix, this one not of the Gaga variety. This time he’s taking on Tsume’s “Autobahn” – listen to the plenty-good original here. He makes “Autobahn” sound a bit more menacing, while retaining the sleek, aerodynamic feel the original mix touched on. Both mixes sound like I imagine the Autobahn,…
Sun-soaked producer Pleasure stopped by the comments section yesterday to let us all know he’s posted a new track to his MySpace. And it’s a doozy.

It keeps on its toes with constant shifts — not to mention a cavalcade of vocal samples zooming…
“おはよう” translates into “good morning” in Japanese, and Himawari Batake’s song of the same name suits the title as it at times can bring to mind the repetitive scream of an alarm clock. Albeit one you don’t want to hurl against the wall in order to hide under the sheets for five more minutes. The…
