WWHHAAAOOOUUUUU what can i say !!!!! I think i haven't hear a proper techno album/compilation as good as this for about 10 years..... i can't beleive how good this is, it is the first time in YEARS (and i mean years) that i want to play out every single tracks from it. There is nothing else to say than EXCELLENT WORK - 10/10 Bravo; from the bottom of my heart

7 days is a very dope track!!! I hope this will be on vinyl please !!
- DJ 3000 (Motech)
Nice track indeed that "Seven Days" Lovely detroitish grooves. Nice one!
- Franco Cangelli (Mowar / Aesthetik)
"Seven Days" is a very strong track that manages to balance a moody atmospheric start with modern techno sensibilities. Itokim offers a solid addition to this stellar compilation.

BIOGRAPHY
Itokim, alias Takuro Ito was born in Yamagata in 1980 and is based in Kanagawa, Japan.
After various experiments in reggae and rock bands, via the internet he met a man who produced Detroit oriented techno. Then he got into the electronic music and started to create his own tracks influenced by the late nineties electronica and Detroit techno.
In 2007, he sent some demos and this resulted in his very first EP, "Baby Moon", on a fresh new London-based label called Fine Art Records. The release received some great reviews and support from diverse international DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Ben Watt, Akufen, Geoffroy Mugwump, and Fabrice Lig.
Recently, he has recorded and remixed for Fine Art Records and will take you into a deep and beautiful electronica-influenced-tech-house journey.
