All Time Party!! mixed by DJ Akeey
Release Date: 8/21/13
Price: 1200 yen
Digital non-stop mix from FARM Records. Doesn’t look like there are any new tracks, so it’s pretty much just repeats from previous FARM compilations.
Available on iTunes Japan.

New EDM compilation from FARM Records, mixed by DJ Mike-Masa.
Stay Young (Single)
Artist: The United
Release Date: 8/21/13
Price: 476 yen
Debut single from the FARM Records international boy band. It’s exclusive to Tower Records and features a scant two tracks. I was hoping they’d commission some remixes by FARM producers.

Scandal Beach ~Natsu Party! Umi Selection!~

House Flavor R&B ~Original Best~ Vol. 8
Release Date: 7/31/13
Price: 1200 yen
8th release in the digital series, which collects fulls versions of songs from various FARM compilations. There are 10 new productions that will debut on this compilation.
Featured artists include FARM mainstays like Daiki × ZK and Minimum Cox, as well as newer names like Countdown Groove and MST.
R&B Summer Drivin’ ~Nemuku Naranai Drive Music~
Release Date: 7/24/13
Price: 900 yen
Sequel to R&B House Drivin’. This digital only compilation features full versions of many songs from Driving Hits -Speed-. I actually complained about Driving Hits -Speed- being too slow, with most of the tracks hovering around 130-140 BPM, but judging by this album the original versions were even slower! Ironically, the subtitle roughly translates to “Don’t Be Sleepy Drive Music.”
Still, I did enjoy Driving Hits -Speed- for what it was, and this collects some of my favorite tracks from it. In particular, I loved Daiki & ZK’s spectacular rendition of “Troublemaker” and “Shake Senora,” both of which appear here. Oddly, the arrangement of “We’ll Be Coming Back” is vastly different than the one on Driving Hits -Speed-. I actually thought it was a completely different song at first.
Available on iTunes Japan.
J-Pop Cover Densetsu V
Release Date: 8/7/13
Price: 1905 yen
The fifth release in FARM’s highly successful J-Pop Cover Densetsu series, which has sold a combined 500,000+ units. It’s been a while since J-Pop Cover Densetsu IV, which came out in November of 2011. Mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!
K-Pop Party Mix Best ~Best of K-Pop Cover Selection~
Release Date: 9/4/13
Price: 1886 yen
Wow, it’s been a while since the last release in this series, K-Pop Party Mix III in March 3, 2012. The K-Pop boom in Japan appears to be fading, and how does Japan celebrate a fading boom? With a Best mix, of course! There will be new tracks, however, including the debut of “Gangnam Style” to the series. There’ll be 50 tracks on the final list.
We Are The United
Artist: The United
Release Date: 10/10/13
Price: 2857 yen (CD+DVD Edition) or 1905 yen (CD Only Edition)
Well, this is different. FARM have been trying to cultivate various girl idol groups in recent years, but this is the first time they’ve released a boy band album. Quite obviously modeled after One Direction, The United are an international boy band featuring vocalists from all around Europe. What distinguishes them appears to be a more distinct club sound instead of straight pop. FARM have had a good record with EDM, signing the likes of Afrojack and teaming up with Dutch label, Spinnin’ Records, for various digital releases. It’ll be interesting to see if this latest gamble pays off.
You can visit the official website for more info on the boy band. Their debut single is a little sedate, so hopefully their other songs will have a little more energy.
