Marco Del Horno (Ho Riddim) and Last Japan (NTS Radio/ Southern Fried Records) present Bullet Train volume 2. The second in the compilation series showcasing the ever changing landscape of bass music right across the board. From Funky to Garage to Grime to Dubstep to DnB and everything inbetween, these 2 dj / producers represent the current music generation who are not bound by genres, scenes or tempos. Instead they craft djs sets and records around new music they have a passion for that make kids skank hard in the clubs.
The compilation features established producers like Hudson Mohawke (Warp), 16 bit (MTA) and Benga (Magnetic Man / Rinse) alongside up and coming talent from the Bullet Train camp like Shift Key, Skanky and The Dub Ratz.
Marco said ‘With me having had a show on Rinse for over 4 years, Last Japan now with his radio show on NTS (Boiler Room) and us both touring all over Europe, we get the chance to break new music and see how things work first hand on the dancefloor. Kids aren't bothered about genres any more, they just want records that kick in a club and make them party hard’
The compilation includes several exclusives forthcoming on Bullet Train, and both Marco and LJ know the importance of breaking new talent. Last Japan said :
‘Its about trying to bring new guys through all the time. Anyone can play big records and just reach for established artists. But by mixing in our own records and material from new kids we’ve signed, me and Marco can develop and pioneer our own sound. ‘
With the first in the series receiving compilation of the month from iDJ magazine and Trap mag, the guys are excited to see how the second compilation is received. Marco commented on why he had to collaborate with Last Japan this time round:
‘Last year when I dropped the comp people didn’t know what to expect, and because it was full of unreleased records across all genres it got a great reception. This time I had to bring Last Japan in to mix it with me to put a fresh slant on it. Plus he’s signing records to the label and we’re playing a lot of sets together across 4 decks now so it makes perfect sense’
Release date: 28th Nov (beatport) / 12th Dec (iTunes)
