Release Info:
Shingo Nakamuraの自身2作目となるアルバム「Days」は「都市の表情」をテーマにしており、モダンなサウンドスケープに色彩豊かなメロディを融和させることで、人工物の洗練された美しさと合間に見え隠れする自然の風景の移ろい、そしてその中で生きる人々の力強さを巧みに表現することに成功している。
各トラックでは柔らかいピアノが繊細なシンセに溶け込みながら奏でられ、グルーヴ感や音の濃淡を絶妙にコントロールしながらアルバムはクライマックスへと向かって行く。また、Masanori Yasuda、Kyohei Akagawa、KaNa、Nhatoといった日本人アーティストとも積極的にコラボレーションし、これまでの自身の枠を押し広げたサウンドを作り出した。ダンスフロアで機能する音楽でありながらもうっとりとするような深い感動を聴き手に与える、プログレッシヴハウスに対する独自の解釈を見事に提示した一作を是非体感して欲しい。
Shingo Nakamura's new album "Days" is essentially an "expression of the city," as expressed by Nakamura. By composing soothing melodies that are rich in color with modern soundscapes, he paints natural landscapes that change between the refined beauty of the city and expressing the strength of people living in it.
Soft pianos are complimented with delicate synths in this album, which builds up towards the climax, while maintaining exquisite control with the light and shade of the sounds chosen within the groove of each track. In addition, Japanese artists such as Masanori Yasuda, Kyohei Akagawa, KaNa, and Nhato, are also active collaborators on this project - wherein Nakamura says that he has created a sound that has pushed the boundaries of these producers' own styles so far.

Shingo Nakamura - The Four (Original Mix) [Silk Royal]

---
Only Silk 02 :: Royal Selections
Release : 14/02/17
Label: Silk Royal
Tracklist:
1 Shingo Nakamura - The Four (Original Mix)
2 Outlook - Dynjandi (Original Mix)
3 Mango feat. Richard J Aarden - Pillow Fights (Stendahl Remix)
Release Info:
Three previously unreleased tracks from Shingo Nakamura's forthcoming "Only Silk 02" compilation are featured in the latest edition of "Royal Selections" on our imprint. The tracks in this package represent the more up-tempo sounds that Shingo is known to play at the end of his radio mixes and live sets.
First out of the pack is Shingo's own "The Four", a naturalistic and slightly melancholy progressive gem that showcases all of Shingo's great gifts as a musician. More specifically, a deep, pad-centered bass gives the track a powerful low-end weight, while crystalline arps and delicate piano themes gently float overhead. In the mean break, the central piano riff is given the full spotlight; it's truly one of most poignant themes Shingo has written to date.
Next up is British talent Outlook, a prolific progressive house artist who is responsible for a stellar oeuvre since 2011. His stormy progressive trance contribution, "Dynjandi", begins with a punchy kick and driving rhythm section, coupled with a high-octane bassline. A hypnotic, one-word vocal sample slowly emerges; the sample is extended into an ethereal full phrase in both breakdowns. Meanwhile, the groove continues to crescendo, in full, peak-hour glory, while lovely side piano melodies fill out the soundscape.
Last but not least, we are pleased to welcome Russian newcomer Stendahl with a fresh take on Mango feat. Richard J Aarden's "Pillow Fights". A buoyant groove and chord-based lead, very much in the Mango tradition, give the track an uplifting, floating-on-air quality, while Richard J Aarden's plaintive vocal offers an emotional counterpoint. The breakdown is a true highlight, as Aarden's vocal gets a fitting solo, followed by a very creative breakbeat interlude.
