*Since releasing this mix, the artist now goes by James Shinra. 

James Shinra is a London-based electronic music producer who creates “acid laced braindance, resonating electro and addictive melodies. Lush and seamless production, as good in the sun as it is the depth of night.” With releases on Feel My Bicep, Balkan Vinyl, and WIDE, his most notable EPs include November 2015 release “Ball & Chain” on London’s @null-void; his March 2017 self-released "Orbit"; and “Meteor” on Spain’s @analogicalforce released May 2017.

On a personal level, Shinra is my favorite producer of 2017 and it is an honor and a privilege to  to feature him on Neptunian Influence. He is a master of his very unique sound and I’ve never really heard anything else quite like it. Prepare to lose yourself in a dream and if fate should have it, we’ll find each other for a dance in the Great Dark Spot.

Is it reality or is it an illusion? With Neptune, it is hard to tell. Neptune's influence reaches further than the ordinary senses, so there may be aspects of extrasensory perception at work. Illusion, fantasy and dreams are the playing field here, and the spirit is the primary force. Leading to all things mysterious, Neptune's watery depths are associated with dreams, visions, and the imagination.
