Makoto 130BPM 4×4 Bass & Beyond Mix

Japanese producer Makoto is an all-time fave for me. His early releases on Good Looking/Looking Good like Golden Girl, Time and Butterfly are still in my standard listening rotation 10 years after their release. Not to slip into hyperbole (even though I will), but the man is a freaking genius. Anyway, while browsing through some recent tracks on Soundcloud I found a 4×4 house/techno mix he did last month. It’s pretty mellow stuff, but has a nice bump to it and its good summer listening.
