Sevensenses Recordings

[Ishiro]

I'm recently discovering some old records from Japanese producers, and when I'm searching the oldest works from Hiroyuki ODA's on Discogs I found a record label called Sevensenses Recordings.

DJ Matsunaga & SnowMoon aka The Originators established the label, and the label releases uplifting trance & progressive music. An information says the label shutted down in 2010, it attracted me to explore their history. Seems it's not really popular or anyone mentioned before so I want to open a thread to share this label with you guys

The Originators - Pleasure: This is my favourite album and my favourite Japanese producer duo in recent. Different from the other J-Trance, this is more dancefloor and oldschool. In my opinion, I like 'Clearise' & 'Crystal Rain' the most. The unmix version can be download on Beatport, but here is the mixed version.



Tomoya Tachibana - Hide Away: An original mix from Best of Sevensenses 2007.



June-Voice - Virginia (Hiroyuki ODA Remix): Supported by Daniel Kandi in his Always Alive radio show.



All these tracks can be download on Beatport. I'm quite wondering why they shutted down the label, and where did The Originators go. I've been searched all the internet even in wayback machine, can't find any reason of it.

I suppose this kind of music just isn’t in demand anymore, and you either quit or change your style if you want to make any money as a musician. Though, I think only a handful of truly successful producers actually make a living from their music and production, while the rest do it purely out of passion. But sooner or later, the moment comes when the motivation, interest, and inspiration fade away, or a simple lack of time sets in due to family and work. The Originators album is actually pretty good, I’ve never heard of them before. Some of the melodies are really unique.

Wow @Ishiro, just finished my first listen through of The Originators album you shared and it blew my mind with how good it is. The classic uplifting sounds with the inclusion of some subtle Asian influences works phenomenally. I will have to find more from this artist.
