Description
[Machine Translation] The many works released by , which is led by Koyo Konishi, are pop works that seem to have been cut up from soundtrack recordings, and Mansfield and Masanori Ikeda, the creators of these works, have been idols of the lounge scene. However, the DJs that Masanori Ikeda performs at parties such as and are very different from Mansfield's works, which have a strong image of jazz and lounge. However, this does not mean that there are no similarities between the current DJs and Mansfield's works of the past. A look at the transition of their activities reveals that there is a clear axis. Masanori Ikeda spent the entire 90s in London, which was the center of this music (club music) in the 90s, and produced fresh music that is too much to describe here. Masanori Ikeda may have gone through many changes as a producer and DJ, but at the root of it all, it is clear that he has been too strongly influenced by the "UK DJ culture. As a producer, Ikeda has been involved in rare grooves, lounge, breakbeats, and now progressive trance and balearic. All of these contexts originated in the UK and spread to other parts of the world. The official mix CD, which he describes as "a condensation of my DJ style over the last two years," features a selection of the progressive trance, electro house, and balearic music that he's been using heavily. There are no major hits, and many of the tracks may be "faceless," but Ikeda has his fingers and ears on the pulse of the music. However, Ikeda's fingers and ears are well acquainted with these tracks, and they have a live feel to them (naturally, this disc is a live mix). The bottom-heavy mix, which strips away the "cadence" of the high frequencies and emphasizes the low and mid-range frequencies, links together a number of faceless tracks in a lively manner. Incidentally, Masanori Ikeda calls this DJ style "soft trance. He finds popular value in "trance," and accepts that his own DJs are being rubbed up against it. He accepts it and is fine with it. Despite his long career, Masanori Ikeda's view of DJing is fresher than one might think. He closes the album with his own cover of William Pitt's "City Lights. Perhaps no explanation is needed.
