About the tracks
'Joy' (Vocal) - Makoto feat. Deeizm
This can only be described as a feel good track that takes you on a journey of musical bliss. As the track builds with a beautiful horns sample, it is
clear that this is soulful drum and bass from the heart, pulling from all those styles that have had a heavy influence on Makoto - Marvin Gaye, Leroy
Hutson and many other 70's funk and soul stars.
The original mix of 'Joy' is uniquely beautiful, but this version has the added bonus of the silky,
smooth vocals from GLO's only female MC, Deeizm. Her complementary lyrics are the icing on the cake; just listen to the crowd...listen to the joy.
'Joy' will also be available on a forthcoming EP,(Cat no. GLREP20).
'Planet Saturn' - Drumsound & Simon Bassline Smith
On every good album, there are one or two tracks that slow the tempo, still the heartbeat and relax the soul a little. On Progression Sessions 9,
'Planet Saturn' is that track.
Featuring a smooth, steady beat and a beautiful, haunting sounding piano and horns sample, this track reaches its climax with the introduction of a ghostly, whispered vocal loop that completes the overall sound superbly. Simply stunning... and available on October 27th. (Cat no. GLR062)
'I Feel It' (Vocal) - Ed Gee & Vice Versa
'I Feel It' is another soulful drum and bass masterpiece, hand picked by Makoto to suit his own personal style. Whilst the track is sweet and
sublime, Ed Gee and Vice Versa have also included some deep, old school analogue stabs, which unobtrusively frequent the track until the perfectly
timed breakdown begins. And what a breakdown. Wicked looped vocals build with the synths until it all kicks back in, again with the unique vocal layers from Deeizm. You're going to be feeling this for sure...
'Joy' Video - Makoto feat. Deeizm
Now you've heard the track, it's time to look at the effects of it on the floor. This unique video, shot at Space Lab Yellow in Tokyo, shows Makoto on the decks, Deeizm on the mic and the crowd on the floor. You're going to wish you'd been there...
