Broadly speaking, there are two types of clubs in the world.
One type is a club that functions like a community for enjoying specialized music.
The other is a club that plays tracks you can dance to, above all else.

This time, we’ve picked out the latest tracks from Japan’s club music scene.
We’ve selected from a variety of genres, including EDM and house, so we think even hardcore fans of electronic music will enjoy it.

Hide & SeekShadw
Shadw, a Japanese producer who has caught the attention of world-renowned DJ Hardwell, is making waves.
While many Japanese EDM producers excel at anime-influenced styles like artcore, Shadw is achieving results with solid, mainstream EDM that stands up on the global stage.
His new track is “Hide & Seek.” It’s sung in English, and its structure is straight-up Western-style EDM.
It’s top-tier EDM even by Japanese standards, so definitely give it a listen.
MillowTimpo da flippa
Timpo da flippa’s “Millow” is addictive with its deep, gut-rumbling bass.
The track’s appeal lies in a sound influenced by drill music, a hip-hop subgenre that spread from Chicago in the early 2010s.
Drill is known for its violent, dark atmosphere, often thematically tied to incidents in Chicago, and musically for its snare hitting a dotted eighth-note “ta-ta” rhythm.
In this track, the hi-hats are arranged in a dotted eighth-note pattern too, which makes it sound even cooler!
Heavenlybala
Bala is a music collective drawing attention with their psychedelic worldview.
The piece they created around the themes of heaven and the real world is Heavenly.
It’s a disco track reminiscent of the ’90s, and its lyrics depict someone being led into a fantastical world.
It’s the perfect song for those moments when you’re ready to let loose and get excited.
The music video, which conveys the song’s world with a slightly surreal vibe, is also a must-see.
Heart Dissloppy dim
Sloppy dim is a rap unit known for hit songs like “Minority,” released in 2020.
Debuting in 2019, they’ve gained popularity mainly among students and younger audiences.
Their track “Heart Disc,” which was selected as the theme song for the social media drama “Playing Friends — A World Where Likes Rule,” stands out for its stylish vibe.
The slightly processed, machine-like vocals using Auto-Tune are also very pleasant to listen to!
Just Feel It feat. Ayumu ImazuNOA
NOA is a musician with experience as a trainee at the Korean entertainment company YG Entertainment.
Featuring Ayumu Imazu, his 2022 release is this track, “Just Feel It feat.
Ayumu Imazu.” Over a hip-hop-leaning track driven by trap beats, the sound unfolds with an aggressive edge.
The lyrics, which seem to depict the two melting into a sweet nighttime rendezvous, match perfectly with their sleek, cool vocals.
