  • Bio

    Makoto Murase aka MAKOTRAX was born in 1978. He grew up Tokyo Japan. In the 90's Makoto started participating in the Club/Rave scene in Japan. From House to Techno and everywhere in between, he has crafted a unique and ever-evolving style. Using finely polished electronic beats coupled with grooved-up waves that wash over, you will not be able to escape from the dance floor!. He was featured on the domestic(Japan) trance label ELF-MUSIC's 2006 compliation 'FAR EAST TECHNOLOGY' that caused a stir from Brazil to Russia. In August of 2007, his remixes of the japanese artist Uscus hit number 3 on WasaBeat's Progressive House chart. In March of 2008, his track 'ALKALINE' (Landscape Music) hit number 1 on HRFQ.com's Trance chart. He has received rave reviews from Ferry Corsten's up and coming artist Breakfast, and his mix of Makotrax unreleased tracks has been causing a stir on Canada's ONAIR radio station and Shibuya FM. In 2008 Makotrax really rose to prominence when he was awarded the grand prize in the very coveted friskyRecords remix competition! His remix of Federico Epis “Sensations” was a genre busting crossover hit making it to the 1 position on the Beats Digital sales chart. In 2009 he has already had huge success with new singles and remixes on friskyRecords, Mango Alley, microCastle, Moody Moon Recordiings, EYE Records and Frame Recordings. His unique blend of classy progressive house melodies and rock solid techno inspired production has garnered him support from many A-list DJs worldwide. In June of 2009 his ‘Cold White’ single was played by Armin Van Buuren and Matt Darey. To follow that up world famous Dj Miss Nine charted his remix of Peter Martin – Spacerock 1 for all of July 2009. So far 2009 has been a great year and with many more remixes and Original productions to follow Makotrax is a producer and DJ to watch. ...... 洗練されたエレクトロニックなビートを武器にハウス~テクノを縦横する独自のサウンドはクラバー達を常にフロアへとロックし、 国内外の著名DJやアーティストからも高い賞賛を浴びている。 アーティストとしてはこれまでに国内ではELF MUSICやVAN-recordings、2E2L Recordings、Landscape Music、Frame Recordings、 海外ではイタリアのEYE Records、USのfriskyRecords、カナダのmicroCastle Music、ロシアのMango Alley Recordings、 オランダのMoody Moon Recrdings(Flashover Recordings)に楽曲を提供している。 2007年に国内トランスアーティストUscusのRemixを手がけWasaBeatのプログレッシブハウスチャートで3位を獲得。 2008年は彼のトラック"ALKALINE"がHRFQ.comで1位を獲得。さらに同年、Progressive House専門チャンネルfriskyRadio主催の Federico Epis /Sensations Remixの最優秀賞を受賞。こちらの曲はBeatDigitalの総合チャートで一位を獲得した。 2009年にはDJ YummyとのProgrsv House DUO"The Signal"名義での"Implode"は世界最大のBeatportプログレッシブハウス 販売チャートで85位にランクイン。また、Makotrax名義でリリースした"Cold White"はArmin Van BuurenやMatt Dareyにプレイされる、 さらにPeter MartinのSpacerockのリミックスはDj Miss Nineのチャートで1位に、MakotraxのHomeward(Nhato's 2 Moons Remix)は Ferry Corstenのチャートで4位になるなど、着実に世界中から支持を集めている。 今後はプログレッシブハウス、テクノ、トランスの垣根を越え更なる注目が集まる存在と言えよう。
