Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, Jazztronik is a one-way ticket to a futuristic destination where jazz, funk, and experimental music exist in perfect harmony.

Ryota Nozak, the creative brain behind Jazztronik, is a DJ, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who aims to blur the borders between classic and contemporary. His newest single "HAGAKURE" came out last week and draws inspiration from breakbeat music, with his signature Japanese ambiance. What I loved the most was the cosmic synth that adds so much flair in a few spots of the composition.

The song is the 6th installment of Ryota's Excursions series and it actually comes in two versions. The piano in the intro differs between Mix1 and Mix2, and the mixing and mastering are also different for each version.
