Yet another house compilation mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah! Unlike the Best Hits 5X series, this release isn’t limited to Tsutaya Records. 50 songs on just one disc should make for an interesting megamix…

J-Pop Cover Mix better better
Release Date: 8/1/12
Price: 1143 yen
J-Pop cover compilation featuring J-Pop classics with dance beats made for driving. Samples are available at CDJapan, and they actually sound surprisingly good. I can’t find too much info on who produced the CD, but 1143 is a great price.
At Last (Single)
Artist: Dina Rao
Release Date: 6/5/12
Price: $4.95
A cover of the classic Etta James song featuring the deep, jazzy vocals of Dina Rao and a variety of catch dance remixes. My favorite is actually the piano-based acoustic mix, as it best shows off Miss Rao’s fantastic voice. You can buy the single from Amazon MP3 or iTunes. More options, including a physical copy, can be found on Dina Rao’s official website.
Light My Gasoline EP
Artist: Initial P
Release Date: 8/9/12
Price: $7.92
Brand new EP from Initial P featuring 3 original songs plus remixes for a total of 8 tracks. Guest vocalists include Laura Chick, J-Mi, and Vandalet. Also includes remixes by Francisco Gaitan and Doughboy.
The lead track is a fun eurobeat-ish song with some chiptune influences. I was hoping the lyrics would avoid the word “fire” and poke fun at the genre’s tendency of overusing the word, but I guess it’s not a eurobeat song unless every other word is rhymed with “fire”. The second track is a more traditional hardcore remix. Meanwhile, Argentinian producer, Francisco Gaitan, provides a Hyper Techno remix and Doughboy offers up another fast-paced hardcore remix.
If all that wasn’t enough, there’s also a brand new hardcore track, “Me or Susan?” sung by J-Mi of J-Mi & Midi-D. The EP is rounded out by eurobeat and hyper techno remixes of “Crazy for Your Fire,” which is sung by Vandalet (who previously collaborated on “Erotic Chemistry” and “Diablo Girl”. The Hyper Techno version in particular is highly recommended. Pete has really gotten the sound down in recent years.
The EP is now up for sale on iTunes or Amazon MP3 for $7.92. Visit the official Disko Warp Facebook or Twitter for details on how to get a free download of the radio edit, available until Friday, August 17.

Release Date: 8/11/12
Price: 1400 yen
Doujin release featuring eurobeat covers of popular touhou songs. Vol. 5 was just released this past May, but I guess they wanted a new entry for the upcoming August Comiket. You can visit the official website for a crossfade demo.
