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.

Tsuyoshi A’s “starlight (feat.
Nenne)” is a track with a delightful blend of band sounds and programmed elements.

There are plenty of parts with artificially processed pitch and wide stereo panning, making it a must-listen for fans of electronic music!
