Top 10 songs we listened to this year.

Only a few days remain in the year 2028. I have listened to a lot of music this year, both in Japan and abroad. What kind of sounds did you encounter? There are so many sounds that you hear without people's knowledge, or that you search for by yourself, or even "sounds you seem to like" through subscription services, that it is hard to choose which one is good.... This is where playlists come in handy. . Some are based on my mood, some are by my favorite artists, and so on. . So, HOUYHNHNM does it, too. We asked five artists with different tastes, selected on their own discretion and prejudice, to pick their "Top 10 Songs I Listened to This Year. Please enjoy the nostalgia and the new discoveries , and enjoy it as an accompaniment to the year-end and New Year's holidays!

ARTIST 03 JOMMY.

No. 1
Don't Let Me Be

Cassius feat. Owlle

One of my favorite songs from the new album release that I have been looking forward to. Philippe Zdar (Philippe Zdar) forever.

No.2
San Fransisco
(Eli Brown Remix)

Dom Dolla

Remix by Eli, who recently visited Japan at "EDGE HOUSE". It's one of the best songs I've heard in a while, so much so that I've been listening to it on loop.

No.03
No More

Noizu

This was the first song on the main stage at EDC JAPAN!

No.04
In My Arms

Ferreck Dawn, Robosonic, Nikki Ambers

The vocals are great, both pop and floor-oriented and glossy!

No.05
Joys (Todd Terry Mix)

Roberto Surace, Todd Terry

A chic dance floor tune sampling the S.O.S. band "THE FINEST".

No.06
Lei Lo Lai
(Masters At Work Remix)

The Latin Project

The Martinez Brothers (Martinez Brothers) have a good way of hanging it up and I remember hearing it after a while. It's great to listen to in the morning.

No.07
Won't Be Late

Swae Lee feat.

Swan Lee and Drake's rapping on the Afro sound is the best combination.

No.08
Represent

WILYWNKA feat. BADSAIKUSH

From TAKA's album. Featuring Badsaikush (BADSAIKUSH) and the sampling sense of "We Run Things" by Da bush babees.

No.09
GOOD PEOPLE GOOD COFFEE

JP THE WAVY feat.

JP THE WAVY's (JP THE WAVY) hook is impressive in this song. Leokuma-kun's psychedelic view of the world is wonderful. This album is full of Japanese rap stars.

No.10
Plastic Love

Friday Night Plans

I wanted to play this one song when I went to DJ at Enoshima Oppara in September this year after a long absence.


The most impressive music news of the year

This year, the best thing is the regular Saturday party "EDGE HOUSE" at Shibuya VISION, which started in February. After about a year of work, we finally have the best foundation in place, and we look forward to even more growth in 2020!

Artists to watch for next year

He will return to Japan in 2020. He will be back in Japan again in 2020, probably with a tremendous evolution!

What are your ambitions for the coming year?

EDGE HOUSE" will continue to move in a more multifaceted way in 2020. Please look forward to some surprise moves!
