Shellair

A future bass track produced by the Tokyo-based music producer illequal.
The song opens with the iconic UK dubstep anthem phrase [a dream], setting the emotional tone from the very first moment. The piercing drop that follows dramatically transforms the atmosphere, as if breaking through a closed, heavy sky. This contrast reflects the inner feelings of young people who long to leave Tokyo behind and step out into the world.

While paying homage to the aesthetic of the 2010s, the track updates those influences through production techniques rooted in the 2020s.
It stands as a piece of dance music that embodies a uniquely Japanese expression-one that resonates beyond borders.
A must-listen for anyone seeking fresh, globally minded electronic music.
