They get their regular fill of playing for large crowds on the mainland where Daishi Dance holds residency at some of Tokyo’s biggest clubs like ageHa, Womb, and Precious Hall in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Likewise, Kawasaki, whose repertoire is a crossover between House & Jazz, also has a residency at Club Room in Tokyo. On this digital album, their styles shine through as they lay down 26 of some of the finest tunes to ever hit the dance floor in the last 20 years. They’ve included some of their own cool production work like Kawasaki‘s original release “Blazin’,” his remix of Ananda Project feat.

Lavette, Satoshi Tomiie‘s mix of Ultra Nate‘s 1995 hit “Party Girl (Turn Me Loose),” and David Morales‘ Def Club Mix of “Glory Glory” Ananda Project feat.Terrance Downs released in 2000.

Blaze presents UDAUFL feat. Ultra Naté – A Wonderful Place (Sean McCabe Remix)

January 30, 2012 in Blaze, Sean McCabe, Tomo Inoue, Ultra Nate, Underground Dance Artists United FOr Life

A Wonderful Place (Sean McCabe Remix)Release Date: 1/30/12
Label: King Street Sounds
Cat #: KSS 1358

The Hype: Another group of hot soulful remixes, stemming from the Blaze presents Underground Dance Artists United for Life “Keep Hope Alive” album comes out on King Street. This batch reinterprets Blaze feat. Ultra Naté, “Wonderful Place” putting some extra spring in the step. UK DJ/Producers Bobby & Steve hit us with a lovely rendition reminiscent of a classic percussive soulful MAW mix that’s sure to please. Our very own Tomo gives us a deep synthy laid back dubby feel with slight vocal injections for added flavor. On the flip, the Fanatix, Britain’s Aaron Ross from BBC 1Xtra and uber-producer Neil Pierce, keep us movin’ with an all out digital melodic interpretation, on their Main Mix minus some of Ultra’s vocals on the dub. What a Wonderful Place indeed.
