DAISHI DANCE: 2 Albums Discography

NU JAZZ (Nippon-style Nu Jazz)

review:

Yo yo yo, fellow captivated nu jazz lovers and anyone who interested in nu sound of jazz, introducing DJ DAISHI DANCE/DAZE (ダイシ・ダンス)!!! Aye gak tau nama asli nih DJ siape! (serba misterius n full name-nya dirahasiain, kayak vokalis solo fusion jazz dr Jepang juga, bird). Yg aye baca dari blognya doi (oops, awas! bahasa “cacing” ) nih DJ kelahiran tahun 1976 di kota Sapporo, Prefektur Hokkaido.
Sama kayak Jazztronik (DJ Ryota Nozaki), FreeTEMPO (DJ Takeshi Hanzawa), n STUDIO APARTMENT (DJ Masanori “Masa” Morita), nih karir DJ juga dibesarkan dan melesat namanya di belakang 3 set turntable plus di dunia gemerlap dancefloor club di Jepang, terutama club “Precious Hall” di kota kelahiran doi.
Musiknya? Well, mirip banget ama musiknya FreeTEMPO n STUDIO APARTMENT (lagi2 aye baca di blognya, klo FreeTEMPO aka Hanzawa-kun itu “nakayoshi” alias close friend-nya doi, coz sering banget manggung bareng )! Musiknya “melodic melancholy” n rata2 gabungin house music ama instrumen piano/violin/gitar akustik! Beberapa lagunya featuring ama vokalis dari duet COLDFEET (mbak Lori Fine) n ada juga satu lagu yg featuring ama ratu solo violinist dari Jepang, Kinbara Chieko-san!
Karya-karyanya? Meskipun udah malang melintang di dunia dancefloor selama 10 tahunan lebih, doi baru ngeluarin 2 full album n beberapa singles/vinyl cd. Don’t know why beda ama Jazztronik yg dalam setahun bs ngeluarin banyak full album sekaligus! But, doi pernah kolaborasi bareng CLAZZIQUAI PROJECT (itu lho trio nu jazz dari Korsel) n juga nge-remix lagu2nya Hamasaki Ayumi ama Nakashima Mika…

Review:
Beat-beat pada all tracks ga terlalu kencang, boleh dibilang santai. Well, gabungan beat-beat menghentak khas house/dance music plus digabung ama instrumen tradisional macem piano, violin, n gitar akustik: memberikan sentuhan yang laen, what an unusual Nu-Jazz!!!
Beberapa tracks featuring ama Lori Fine, vokalis duo COLDFEET. Menurut aye, kualitas vokal nya ga kalah nampol ama penyanyi lain n boleh dibilang setipe dengan Monday Michiru, Vanessa Freeman, n Carleen Anderson. Satu lagunya di-remix ama musisi sealiran, duo STUDIO APARTMENT.
Menurut aye, track demi track diracik cukup bagus n aye nilai DAISHI DANCE offers a cozy, not too fast, and captivating dance music!
Overall album ini bagus banget: just like acoustic meets electronic! perpaduan yang unik menarik dan very very worth to be listened.
Recommended tracks (by me): LET LIFE LOOSE, P.I.A.N.O., MOON GARDEN, LOVE, TRUST, BELIEVE, ama Snow Dayz!

Review:
Well, sama2 wae lah ama album sebelumnya. Kali ini tracks featuring ama musisi selain Lori Fine (of COLDFEET), especially di track 2 ama track 5. Di track 7, suaranya Roland Clark somehow reminding me of James Ingram. And jangan lupa juga cobain track 8, dengerin permainan violin melancholic dari Kinbara Chieko-san!
Recommended tracks (by me): HOME, PROLOGUE OF LIFE (DD-Edit), SOUL ROOTS, MOONRISE….MOONSET, ama WINTER NIGHT MELODIES!
