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.
