Big Paaartyy!! In the EDM mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!
Release Date: 10/8/14
Price: 2000 yen
New EDM compilation from FARM Records, featuring a mix of Spinnin’ Records songs and in-house covers. I love that it has a 3-minute megamix of 5 different mixes of Booyah.
Urban Night Lounge presents Winter Driving performed by The Illuminati
Release Date: 9/3/14
Price: 926 yen
More piano house covers from Star Music Entertainment and The Illumaniti (DJ U*Hey?). This time the album will feature covers of Christmas classics, though it appears that The Illuminati will also be performing an original song as well.
Urban Night Lounge presents Sunset Driving performed by The Illuminati
Release Date: 9/3/14
Price: 926 yen
More piano house covers from Star Music Entertainment and The Illumaniti (DJ U*Hey?). Apparently this is a special CD available only at Village Vanguard stores. It’s 10 songs for 1,000 yen, though by the commercial you’d think it only had “Let It Go.” I have to admit it’s a very good cover, though.
Sick EDM 02 mixed by C’k
Release Date: 10/1/14
Price: 1852 yen
New EDM release from Dreamusic and the second in the Sick EDM series. Mixed by C’k, who some may remember was a member of the J-Pop group, Shanadoo. Quite a few licenses from Spinnin’ Records, and there are even two songs that already appeared on the first Sick EDM. The last third of the album does feature original Japanese-produced EDM, however, including a collaboration between C’k and Overhead Champion.

Release Date: 8/27/14
Price: 1750 yen
New house compilation from PREGET Records, featuring a random assortment of pop songs like “Let It Go,” “Don’t You Worry Child,” and “Get Lucky.”

Spinnin’ in the Mix mixed by DJ Shintaro
Release Date: 9/17/14
Price: 1900 yen
New house compilation from FARM Records, mixed by DJ Shintaro. Features EDM from the catalog of Spinnin’ Records, hence the title.
It’s worth noting that FARM just updated their website. It looks like EDM will be a big focus for them moving forward, but I think this is ridiculously short sighted of them. The EDM boom can’t last forever, and I worry what will become of the label in the future.
Party Time -Monster Hits- mixed by DJ Akeey
Release Date: 9/17/14
Price: 1680 yen
New compilation from FARM Records. In addition to their own in-house artists and Power Music, it looks like FARM have also started licensing from New York-based AV8 Records. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there’s all that much new material here. Not even one new Daiki × ZK song. 🙁
glee in the House
Release Date: 9/17/14
Price: 1800 yen
New compilation from FARM Records featuring rather boring house versions of songs featured on Glee. The digital edition differs quite a bit from the CD version. I believe both have full versions, but the digital edition has an extra two songs (“Black and White” and “Rolling in the Deep”) plus karaoke versions for ALL of the songs for a total of 16 tracks and 16 karaoke versions as opposed to the CD’s 14 tracks + 3 karaoke versions.
Party Hits R&B House 2014 2nd Half mixed by DJ Hiroki
Release Date: 10/15/14
Price: 1800 yen
Another Party Hits compilation mixed by DJ Hiroki. Features 40 hit tracks from the 2nd half of 2014.
Pre-order at CDJapan.
Party Hits Megamix ~Queen of Megamix~ mixed by DJ Mizuho
Release Date: 8/16/14
Price: 1750 yen
Second entry in the Party Hits Megamix series from Groovy inc. Mixed by DJ Mizuho.
Big Paaartyy!! In the EDM mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!
Release Date: 10/8/14
Price: 2000 yen
New EDM compilation from FARM Records, featuring a mix of Spinnin’ Records song and in-house covers. Kind of strange that they’ve seemingly abandoned the Love EDM brand.
Best Mix ~Cheval Edition~ EDM & All Mix Party mixed by *Groovy workshop.
Release Date: 9/24/14 ? 10/29/14
Price: 2200 yen
The latest release in Avex’s ongoing Best Mix series. Expected to feature 25 songs from various genres. Mixed by *Groovy workshop.
Pre-order at CDJapan.
I Love EDM -Hits & Anthems-
Release Date: 10/8/14
Price: 1850 yen
New dance compilation from Universal. EDM Anthem IV really should’ve been announced by now, so I think this may be its substitute. The title sort of coincides with Universal’s I Love Party series, which makes me think it’ll be part of some larger “I Love” series. Of course, since this will technically be a new release I wouldn’t be surprised if they use it as an excuse to feature repeats from EDM Anthem.
The release is also being touted as an unofficial tie-in to the Ultra Music Festival Japan, er, festival. Sony Music Japan are releasing the official compilation, but that’s not stopping all of the other labels from trying to cash in.
Pre-order at CDJapan.
WMC -World Music Cruise- -White- DJ Hosaka & DJ Baby-T & DJ Sone DJ Mixes
Release Date: 8/20/14
Price: 1200 yen
Digital non-stop mix from FARM Records. Mixed by DJ Hosaka & DJ Baby-T & DJ Sone. Mostly composed of EDM from Spinnin’ Records.
