For the past 2 weeks, all day, all weekend, I’ve been repeating the track I’m about to speak about.

you definitely want to

This track was immediately pleasing on first listen (just like star guitar was, and is). I wanted to make ABSOLUTELY SURE that this wasn’t some sort of shitty ‘great first impression-sucks on 2nd listen’ type thing. So that’s what I did. I stress tested the fuck out of this track for 2 straight weeks. So what do I say?

Verdict: Shinichi Osawa’s remix of Felix Da Housecat’s “Radio” cannot be stopped. No filler here.

For those of you familiar with Tokyo’s Shinichi Osawa, the track has all his signature sounds. The heavily processed-treble-infested high hats (tambourines for good measure), INSANE contrasty bass, and happy-oh-so-happy synth. I can’t get enough, the dancing kids can’t get enough, you definitely can’t get enough.

I haven’t heard the original track. Am I curious as to what it sounds like? Do I want to check it out.

nah. (i probably will anyway)

    i totally concur with your love for shinichi osawa. there’s such an uplifting energy to his stuff, and it’s not “just” dance music, it’s so much more.

    p.s. the first link is still broken.

    I’m so glad you posted star guitar.
    For some reason I don’t have that in my library anymore and it’s been KILLING me. EPIC BANGER OF 2007 most definitely.

    …mostly because I want to father Au Revoir Simone’s children.

    i hope you mean, all three members of au revoir simone’s member’s children.

    polygamy for the win

    i plan to drive on the autobahn in a convertible with a tricked out stereo system with this blasting.

    and then proceed to pick up euro artsy chicks who think my taste of music is adventurous.

    i can dream all i want :-(

    but this song is quite the killer
