Unfortunately I can't tell you about the vocalist in detail due to international circumstances.<br> | |||
There's also gossip here and there that she was an incredibly influential figure.<br> | |||
UK-based producer TOMOKI HIRATA's unique groove and sound is definitely "Western music". | |||

I have a very deep emotional attachment to this song.<br> | |||
I produced an album in 1998, the year when the 2-step movement began, but singer Sandra Escoffery passed away before its release.<br> | |||
Her catchy vocals and the magnitude of your requests have allowed this song to traverse through beatmania's history, I feel.<br> | |||
I plan on including a new mix of it on my soon-to-be-released new album, as well.<br> | |||
I'll also add that her younger siblings, Michelle and Shaun, have grown to become prominent singers, putting out songs with Artful Dodger and MJ Cole that became major UK hits. | |||
=== Dance Maniax === | |||
This is a remixed version of a number from beatmania YebisuMIX, which BEMANI fans are probably familiar with. While retaining its original atmosphere, the male vocals are more prominent, resulting in a more worthwhile listen. Pay attention to the effective playfulness of the main bass sound, trumpets, and scratch. I'd like you to choose this cool tune and make good use of its performance. | |||
