Like most people, DJs and producers have specific songs tied to events throughout their lives. In Crate Expectations, we extract a playlist from their memories to tell their story. This week's subject: Shinichi Osawa
What's the first song you ever loved?Shinichi: I listen to so much music. It's difficult for me to answer because I've had a lot of songs in my mind since I started listening music.What are the first two songs you ever mixed together?It was for a local Christmas party my brother and friends held. Most of them were hit songs from that time; I think it was Prince's "Controversy," and Earth Wind & Fire's "Let's Groove."

What is your worst guilty pleasure song?My worst guilty pleasure song is from The Korgis' "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime," but I don't want to tell you why. It has to stay a secret.What song have you had on repeat in the last month?Metronomy's "Upsetter." I really like it since this song moves me. I guess it's toxic.Which track of your own do you like the most?"TECHNODLUV" because it's an unusual track made with almost only all drum sounds. I wanted to find another way to produce and to manage drums. It's powerful and an ideal song for a show. It gives you energy and it works perfectly into a set.What track of your own do you dislike the most?It's quite difficult for me to choose one because it's my sound; it's something special to judge oneself. I will say that I dislike all of them equally.What track are you most excited to drop in a sets?For a set, it's "Let's go Dancing" by Tiga and Audion because of its message. This song is explicit and you can be sure that with it, the crowd will go nuts.What's the last song you want to hear before the lights go on?"Clair De Lune" by Debussy. This song is melodic, it perfectly prepares you for the lights to turn on.More from Crate Expectations…
