Song Production Information

Gekidan Record

Gekidan Record's first song in DDR! Its name is "Ishtar".
U1-ASAMi asked me "What do you think about mixing ethnic music with EDM!?"
It was an interesting proposal that I have never tried before.

...So the important part of this song is the crossfade part of "ethnic music with raw instruments" and "EDM with synths", and how natural can it be when you listen to it.
U1-ASAMi and I liked it.

Please enjoy this new frontier of Gekidan Record!
