Upcoming Summer dance floor single from Detroits own, releasing digitally July 7th. 

DX7 dream chords, warm lush Juno60 bass, light breezy 505/727 Roland drum kits, playful summer DX7 keys following along a catchy sing along Vocoder hook that is "Somewhere In Malibu".

Somewhere In Malibu (Snippet) | OUT NOW

In Japan "Nitchibotsu" translates to Sunset, which is the title of Chapter III's body of work. A Deep House journey featuring the iconic sounds of the Roland D-50, Korg M1 & Jays personal fav, the Shakuhachi Flute of Japan. "I would be remiss if i didn't say the likes of Soshi Takeda didn't inspire this track for me, having street dance be a huge background for me, this track was crafted for the House Dancers around the world, specifically those from Japan." Nitchibotsu takes on an almost ethereal sound from complex key patterns, blissful DX7 keys, classic Roland 909 4/4 that Jay is so known for curating. Truly a track you won't wanna listen to once, another Sundown dance floor hit.
