Review:
Making his full EP debut on Marco Del Horno's Bullet Train, Last Japan flexes his musical muscles to a major degree here, stretching from deep, pounding grime to turbo-injected euphoric rave in exemplary style. "East" leads; blunt but brave with cool Compton flavoured synth work and well-measured moody lyrics from Trimm, it's a fine introduction to his production work and versatility. "You" follows; a sexified R'n'B flavoured joint, welded with fractured beats, a slinky bassline and some fine vocals from Avrg Joe, this one will woo the ladies onto your floor before you can say 'sexy time'. "Hidden" is the party piece; 140 rave breaks polished with sophisticated synth work and a tearing Amen just when you least expect it. "Ragid Man Mode" finishes the set with an aggressive note thanks to Red Boy G's Newham Generals style flow.
