Song Production Information

L.E.D.-G

L.E.D. here. beatmania IIDX 24 SINOBUZ was just released, is everyone enjoying it?
Well, so for "Karasu", when I was thinking about what kind of style should fit for the first song of SINOBUZ, I went to a party and the DJ was playing a CROSSBREED song, which I thought it was very cool and liked it a lot.
At that time, I did not recognize clearly that this style was CROSSBREED, so I asked to an acquaintance DJ who also went to the same party, "what is the name of the style which sounds like a mix of DRUM & BASS and HARDCORE?"
By asking that, I was able to recognize the characteristics of a CROSSBREED song for the first time.
However, "Karasu" is closer to a HARDCORE song, which for games, it is a style that has been adjusted to add interesting parts to it.
CROSSBREED, which is a hybrid of HARDCORE and DRUM & BASS, is one of the trends of modern HARDCORE scenes, so please take a look if you are interested on it.

Aside from that, "Karasu"'s title was given by GOLI, who is also in charge of design.
