Shingo Japanese Remix Album
Shingo Asari, Japanese dance-punk mix master and half of the Japanese pop-culture duo Panda, No Panda, has had his remix work featured on several Vandals DVD's and CD's. He was introduced to The Vandals (Joe Escalante-Bass, Warren Fitzgerald-Guitar, Josh Freese-Drums,Dave Quackenbush-Vocals) by throwing his mixes on the stage at all of their Japanese shows. The band was so blown away that they started providing him with vocal-only mixes. Shingo remixes Vandals tracks from their most recent releases- 'Internet Dating Superstuds' and 'Hollywood Potato Chip', adding unique instrumentations, sounds, and grooves-such as the sax solos and added Japanese vocals of the Bistrot2000 mix of 'Disproportioned Head' and the soulful ambient scratching of the Clockworked mix of 'When I Say You, I Mean Me'. The result is a skillful mash-up of Punk, Dance, Hip Hop, Jazz, Ambient, and Pop. Kung Fu Records. 2005.
