AFP019 - Tokyo By Night Edition

It all started with a preview video from Hook N Sling's facebook in 2011 where it said a new original in the form of "Tokyo By Night" will join the Axtone gallery. Little did we know that it was only at it's baby steps of becoming the modern classic it is today. The title alone must be one of the most mentioned on our forum. It reminds us all that patience is a virtue when being a loyal fan of Axtone Records. Now it's finally here, in the form of a rework by the grandmaster himself! With the Axwell Remix reaching the number one spot in the Beatport top 100 chart and the recent news of the original mix rumored to arrive in the summer, a "Tokyo By Night" special couldn't have been more appropriate!

For the special, our members were asked to select tracks that remind us of Tokyo her homebase, Japan. Apart from the obvious cultural or name inspired selections, we also tried to select as many Japanese producers and artist we could remember. It resulted in tracklist with some artist close to home and others that you might have never heard of. Regardless who you might or might not recognize, both will take you onto a dreamy journey into the rich sounds of Japan and it's beautiful capital, Tokyo.

Enjoy!
