Drum Nation by Shifting Gears
Shifting Gears aka Hoshina Anniversary readies Drum Nation for Toucan Sounds this winter.

Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, Hoshina Anniversary has previously appeared on ESP Institute, Musar Recordings, and Young Marco's Safe Trip, fusing traditional Japanese instrumentation with House & Techno sensibilities across his productions. Arriving now on Brooklyn's toucan sounds label under his Shifting Gears moniker, the DJ/producer turns in two Jazz and Hard Bop-inspired club-not-club tracks on "Drum Nation".
Leading the release, title cut "Drum Nation" sees loose drums and jazz scales meet crunchy production, delivering a deeply musical and punchy house track. "Average Hoshina Sounds" sees more delightfully lo-fi production as wonky stabs and glistening pads culminate in an energetic mid-point build-up, making for a high-energy dancefloor-focussed accompaniment to the title track.
