Makoto - Tomodachi Sessions

As one of the founders of Japan�s drum & bass culture, Makoto is a man who needs little introduction. On his sixth studio album, �Tomodachi Sessions�, he presents 15-tracks of exquisite, sun-drenched drum & bass soul. Each and every track is a collaboration with a close friend, that has played a part in his twenty-year career, with the likes of DJ Marky, S.P.Y, Bop, MC Conrad, Pola & Bryson, Degs, Karina Ramage and more.The uplifting summer number, �Shine On Through� is a collaboration with the young breakthrough producer Mountain from Osaka, Japan. Makoto�s signature sound is brought into 2019, soaked in a warm rolling bassline, energetic synths and topped off with vocals from the outstanding singer/songwriter Karina Ramage. The instrumental masterpiece �Kosa� features Med School�s orchestral maverick Keeno and is the perfect combination of powerful soul, epic strings and dynamic drumwork. �Morning Sunrise�, is a majestic dose of drum & bass and is the team effort of Makoto, Danny Wheeler and G Force. It also brings in the vocal powerhouse Blu James, also known from the Basement Jaxx classic �Red Alert�. Having gained respect for the quality of his music since the days of LTJ Bukem�s Good Looking Records, Makoto has gone from strength to strength with an impressive discography that includes seminal classics like �Golden Girl� ft. MC Conrad. Makoto can be found at a number of events and festivals this summer, including Hospitality In The Park 2019, Sun & Bass, Liquicity, Standon Calling, and more.
