This mix has done some serious air miles to make its way to us, all the way from Japan. For many Europeans it may be hard to imagine a dance world outside this little bubble of ours, so when one of the hottest properties about at the minute turns out to be Japanese you could be forgiven for thinking it’s just a touch from leftfield.
The truth of it is, the scene in Japan is bustling with activity and Shota Tanaka, better known by his pseudonym, Beaten Space Probe, is the standard bearer for this movement. His label BSP has been just another in a long line of successful ventures with his 2 records going to number 1 on the Junodownload Chart. His work has seen him garner high praise from Greg Wilson, Dicky Trisco, Tensnake, Optimo, Craig Smith and many more so he must be doing something right.
He played in Waterford for the Get Down Edits lads in Autumn past and by all accounts blew the roof off the place, all be it more a veranda than a roof but impressive nevertheless. His unassuming nature and friendly character combined with a serious prowess for crate digging make him a dangerman behind the decks with his infectious feel good vibe.
So clear an hour or so from your schedule and allow Shota to pull the strings...
