In an electrifying new release, globally acclaimed DJ and producer Shogun has set the dance music scene abuzz with his latest track, “Shut Up Now (Dance With Me).” This track marks the debut from his own burgeoning label, Neo Tokyo Records, showcasing a promising direction for the newly established venture.
Shogun’s influence extends beyond the studio. He recently secured a monthly residency at Tokyo’s prestigious 1OAK, promising unforgettable nights filled with his signature sound. Additionally, his engagement with fans reaches new heights with “The Neo Tokyo Radio Show,” a series on YouTube that has already delighted audiences with 35 episodes, allowing Shogun to explore and share a broader musical spectrum.
The track, lasting just over two minutes, is a masterpiece of rhythm and melody. Shogun shows off his skill by melding a rapid tempo with a soothing piano chord progression, creating a captivating contrast between the verses and the chorus. The smooth transitions and the high-energy vibe fuse to form a dance anthem that’s impossible to listen to just once.
But the excitement doesn’t end there. A thrilling collaboration with Öwnboss is on the horizon, slated for release in January under Republic Records. This project, along with his other ventures, cements Shogun’s place as a trailblazer in the music industry.
An icon in the electronic music world, Shogun has consistently ranked in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs. His headlining performances at major festivals like Tomorrowland and EDC, coupled with his history as the first Asian American on Armada Music, underline his remarkable career. In 2022, Shogun expanded his creative horizons with two new aliases, NXNJAS and Neo Tokyo, each reflecting his diverse production skills while staying true to his trance roots. With such an impressive portfolio, Shogun is not just a DJ but a global phenomenon in electronic music.
