Shin-kaisoku

Shin-kaisoku EP is the new three-track EP from 64DX, pairing the lead single Shin-kaisoku with two brand-new tracks, MUGB and Nochide - all three cut from Juke/Footwork.

Named after the Shin-kaisoku express train linking Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe, the title track fuses the heavy bass and high-speed energy of the Chicago-born sound with a deeply mellow atmosphere. Over rapid-fire rhythm patterns and a visceral bassline, vocalist ness delivers lyrics that capture the weightless, floating feeling of a nightclub, striking a one-of-a-kind balance between aggressive beats and refined, mellow tones.

MUGB is about the cross-cultural encounters that only happen on a dancefloor. Weighty piano chords play against the light, buoyant rush of meeting strangers for the first time - a portrait of people with different languages and backgrounds melting together over the beat.

Nochide rides a warm, inviting electric piano, singing - mellow yet nimble - about two people slipping out of the crowd and into a world of their own. Eyes locked under the mirror ball like lovers out of a movie, it's the closing track that marks the final stop on the Shin-kaisoku line.

Made by four members spread across Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, and Tokyo, the EP crosses cutting-edge club trends with local scenery - a non-stop ride through one night, from first encounter to last goodbye, and onward to the next town. Built for the dancefloor.
