World Anthem -International Megamix- mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!
Release Date: 3/6/13
Price: 1900 yen

New compilation from Victor Japan. Features R&B and electro house songs from around the world. Most of the announced songs so far are by the original artists, but I bet there’ll be a few covers on the final list, which should consist of about 30 tracks. It seems like it’s been a while since DJ Fumi*Yeah! has mixed an album for a major label.

Timeline (Single)
Artist: J-Mi & Midi-D
Price: Free

A brand new, FREE track from J-Mi & Midi-D celebrating their music over the years. It’s like a mashup of all of their productions as well as the songs that have inspired them over the years. Features samples from Smile.dk, Bus Stop, S&K, Jenny Rom, and other Dancemania artists.

In other J-Mi & Midi-D news, they report on their Facebook that “The new single “Hardcore (Is My Life)”, is getting picked up in the UK, by one of the most legendary producer/dj’s in the scene. Stay tuned for more details ;)!” I was wondering what the holdup was since they first announced the track back in September. 2013 looks like it’ll be a very busy year for the duo. In addition to the upcoming single, they’ve also got a full album coming up as well as remixes for Disko Warp.

Mash Up Rush!! -EDM vs. Oldies-
Release Date: 3/13/13
Price: 1800 yen

It’s not a genre boom in Japan until they start doing weird remixes in the latest musical style. This compilation from SCM (Full Moon’s parent label) will feature oldies done in EDM style. Think “Rockin’ Robin” done in the style of “Party Rock Anthem” or “Jailhouse Rock” done like “Turn Up the Music.” I wonder how long before someone does EDM Ghibli?

Radio Gosha x Disko Warp: Living a Colorful Life
Release Date: 3/2013
Price: ???

Hot off the heels of their successful Hardcore Advance Kickstarter, Disko Warp are back with a new Kickstarter for a special DVD collaboration with Radio Gosha. The DVD will compile all 7 of the Disko Warp music videos animated by GoshaDole. There’ll also be a bonus CD featuring the tracks from the music videos as well as 7 new, exclusive remixes “by top producers from around the world.” I’m hoping that means a new DJ Command remix. 😀 Bonus items range from postcards to stickers and keychains. Minimum pledge for the CD+DVD set is $25. There are only 8 days left to pledge since they wanted the CD+DVD sets produced in advance of Spring conventions, so be quick!

While I’m at it, there are only 48 hours left on Radio Gosha’s T-shirt Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/radiogosha/radio-gosha-presents-ufo-catcher-and-pussy-game-sh
