Shuya Okino – Still In Love/Look Ahead (The Man 45 edits)
Second time around for Kyoto Jazz Massive man Shuya Okino’s “Still in Love”, a swelling, string-drenched slab of life-affirming disco-soul, featuring the fine vocals of sometime Fertile Ground chanteuse Navasha Daya. This version is not the same as the epic – and now insanely in-demand – original 2011 version, which came out on legendary Japanese label Especial. This time round, it’s been given the seven-inch edit treatment by storied scalpel fiend Ryuhei The Man. His chops, nips and tucks are naturally well-judged, allowing the track’s chunky, DJ-friendly drum breaks a chance to do their thing before dropping in Daya’s vocal and Okino’s stirring strings. It’s a suitably respectful and on-point edit, as is the rework of original B-side “Look Ahead” featured on the flip.
