RELEASE DATE : Dec. 13th, 2024(beatport) / Jan. 10th, 2025(other)

After 2 year-long break, Sota S. aka Genuine Fakes is back with his kinky tech 'Come With M3' on PARK LIMITED MUZIK. Originally from Tokyo, Japan; Sota S. is a multi-talented jack-of-many-trades. DJing, production, and designing all fall into his lap with ease. He is most well- known as an organizer of TORTURE GARDEN JAPAN - which is one of the world's most famous international fetish parties. 

Sota S. delivers fully with filthy groove, which is a homage to his rave roots. And he prepared Tech House Mix that is thumping wallop of a track due to it's hard house flavour. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGSにて、GENUINE FAKES名義での稼働が多いベテランであり、TORTURE GARDEN JAPANのオーガナイザーとしての顔も持つSOTA S.が、前作「Cat Walkin’」から約2年振りとなる新作「Come With M3」をPARK LIMITED MUZIKに届けてくれた。リミキサーとしてPARK LIMITED MUZIKの「Parklife」シリーズで2作品に於いて仕事しつつ、前々作「Inconceivable」から3年のブランクがあったのを考慮すると、スパンは縮小。今回は自身のルーツのひとつであるレイヴ期の雰囲気を現代へ召喚し、ストロング・スタイルなテクノにて再現。また、ハードハウス由来なテック・ハウスなミックスも収録。

It's been 10 years since we've released "80s Investigation" compilation. The self-proclaimed king of 1980s music in Japan is DJ 19. He has a keen ear for that particular decade in music and it helps explain why he's released many 1980s cover tunes under the DJ 19, Ambrozia, Valid Evidence and Hot Station guises over the years. As a result of his love for all things breakdancing, new wave, parachute pants, big hair, electro, synth pop and other 1980s-based culture, he has decided to release a compilation that focuses on 80s & 90s cover tunes that's aptly titled "80s & 90s Investigation". The album's chillout grooves include mostly projects he has been involved with. 

Most of the tracks have already seen a release, but there's also 2 new exclusive tunes here. The first one has been done by Ambrozia aka DJ 19 & Edison Watanabe. They have covered Pet Shop Boys 'West End Girls'. Edison played Shinobue, which is a traditional transverse Japanese bamboo flute.

The second track is by Genuine Fakes aka Sota S.. He has covered Afrika Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force 'Planet Rock'. "80s & 90s Investigation" is the ultimate soundtrack to any discerning clubber's winter holiday.

2014年リリースの『80s Investigation』は、80年代のカヴァー曲を収録したコンピレーションとして、traxsourceだけでなく、今は亡きHARD TO FIND RECORDS(HDFR)やwasabeatなどでも大ヒットを記録。今回、約10年の時を経て、新たに90年代のカヴァーも収録した『80s & 90s Investigation』のリリースを決定。19BOX RECORDINGSの総帥であるDJ 19は、AMBROZIA、VALID EVIDENCE、HOT STATIONといった名義を使用し、多くのカヴァー・ヒットを生み出してきたが、今回もその中から代表的な作品を収録。新たにAMBROZIAとして、PET SHOP BOYSの「West End Girls」をEDISON WATANABEによる篠笛を大々的にフィーチュアして再現。また、GENUINE FAKESによるAFRIKA BAMBAATAA & THE SOULSONIC FORCEの「Planet Rock」も初収録。

DJ 19 VS THOMAS PENTON

1.DJ 19 VS THOMAS PENTON / IMA(YURIY FROM RUSSIA REMIX)
RELEASE DATE : Nov. 8th, 2024(beatport) / Dec. 6th, 2024(other)

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, DJ 19's 19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGS presents a series of unreleased remixes. 'Dueling Weapons Vol.19' features DJ 19 Vs Thomas Penton's 'Ima'. Originally released in 2004, the talented production duo provided a monumental example of energetic progressive house, graced with the dynamic vocal talent of Japan's Ta (ex-Maji Na Damu). The seminal track was gained huge popularity after receiving heavy play from Above & Beyond,  Hernan Cattaneo, DJ Chus, among others, and got remaining a record box essential for two decades.

To celebrate 20 years since its original release, 19BOX RECORDINGS have called upon Yuriy From Russia to update the track. The Russian born producer really does not need any introduction. For the rework, he delivers a compelling interpretation of 'Ima', and creates a deliciously rich and full-flavoured sound with familiar stabs, infectious vocals and deep elements.

1999年の設立から25周年となる19BOX RECORDINGS。記念として、秘密兵器として機能するフロア向け未発表リミックス・シリーズである「Dueling Weapons Vol.19」を特別パッケージ。第19弾という記念すべき数字のため、首謀者であるDJ 19が盟友であるTHOMAS PENTONと2004年にリリースした「Ima」の刷新をYURIY FROM RUSSIAに要請。元MAJI DA NAMUのTAをフィーチュアした当時としては珍しい日本語によるフロア・バンガーは話題となり、ABOVE & BEYONDやHERNAN CATTANEOなど世界中の多くのDJに愛される曲となった。今回、印象的なスタッブを用いながらもディープにアップグレード。

Serge Gee is back yall, and he has brought loads of that jackin funk. Perfect for late-night sessions, the new single 'Magic' encapsulates the essence of jackin house with its blend of swing, groove and emotion. 

The first remix comes courtesy of non-other than Dan Sonic, who has been remixing Serge Gee's tracks such as 'Chopin' and 'High Contrast', returns to 19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGS with a classy rendition and deep vibes. 

The second rework comes from label debutant Kinos. The Japanese producer follows up on excellent releases on PARK LIMITED MUZIK. He delivers a superb rework for some peak time madness as tech house style.

メキシコのジャッキン・ハウス大使であるSERGE GEEによる第8弾シングル「Magic」は、ジャジー・グルーヴを基軸に夜が似合う作品にてDJ 19が主宰する19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGSへショート・スパンにて帰還。リミキサーは、「Chopin」に「High Contrast」などSERGE GEE作品へコンビ的に名を連ねるスイスのDAN SONICに、ニュー・フェイスとしてPARK LIMITED MUZIKの常連として稼働する日本のKINOSを招集。前者はオリジナルより更に深く、魅惑的な夜を演出するディープな世界観を構築し、後者は、19BOX RECORDINGSでの初仕事となり、グルーヴィなテック・ハウスにて応酬。

19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGS proudly present the "Balearic Grooves" compilations, showcasing Balearic sounds from across our catalogue. "Balearic Grooves 2" is the soundtrack for the lazy summer days, brim-full of beach-ready tunes that truly reflect Ibiza's chilled musical spirit. Names on compilations feature a variety of tracks from names such as Claes Rosen, Elgone, Allan Zax, Hot Station, Ambrozia and Valid Evidence.

バレアリックはジャンルを横断した折衷的なクラブ・サウンドを指し、1988年にFFRRからリリースされたコンピレーション『Balearic Beats』にて認知されるも、元々はバレアレス諸島のイビサでのAMNESIA於いて、DJ ALFREDOがプレイしていたスタイルに由来。時代の趨勢にて変化し、チルアウトを含む広義な意味でも使用されることに。19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGSでは、『Balearic Grooves』と題したコンピレーションを2枚に分割し、リリースを決定。過去の膨大なカタログの中から、所謂チルアウト的な部分に重きを置きつつも、折衷的なサウンドを織り交ぜ、全34曲を収録。
