Club Camelot -International Camelot Mix-
Release Date: 7/27/11
Price: 2171 yen
New club compilation from EMI featuring big-name acts like Katy Perry, David Guetta, Coldplay, and Kylie Minogue. It’s kind of a strange mix populated by a lot of older tracks.

Final list is out, and it’s absolutely dominated by Dizzi Mystica, who has a whopping 7 tracks. Hommarju comes in a distant second with 4 tracks. Booing Day gets 3 tracks, while MK and Icon each get 2. plasma rounds out the list of artists with a single track. Ryu* is presumably missing because he’s busy working on his next album.
Pre-order early to ensure that you’ll get a limited edition cell phone strap.

Ballad ~Anthology of Movie Songs~
Artist: Ballionaire Mafia
Release Date: 7/20/11
Price: 1900 yen
Follow-up release to Ghibli House Essential Piano Set. Produced by Junichi Matsuda, better known to trance fans as B.R.G. Other names that should be familiar to Hime Trance fans include Kei and Missie, both of whom performed songs on Anime*Mix. No trance songs here, however. As the title suggests, these are all slower productions, perfect for relaxing.
R&B ElectRock performed & mixed by Minimum Cox
Release Date: 7/20/11
Price: 1619 yen
Electro/Rock covers of huge club hits. Performed and mixed by Minimum Cox. The album is up on iTunes Japan for only 900 yen, but it’s a non-stop mix just like the CD version. However, full versions are available at Kingbeat.
K-Pop Party Mix II ~Best of K-Pop Cover Selection~
Release Date: 7/20/11
Price: 1886 yen
Continuing series from FARM featuring covers of K-Pop klassiks. The album is available on iTunes Japan, but like the CD version it’s a non-stop mix.
Chou Euro
Release Date: 10/12/11
Price: 1800 yen
DJ Yossy is at it again. Kiwami Euro Best wasn’t so hot, so it seems that DJ Yossy’s next CD will be released on the Full Moon label rather than Avex. The kanji in the title could be “itadaki” or “chou,” and the title translates to “Top Euro.” No tracks announced yet, but I sincerely hope they’re finally out of repeats to repeat.
Pre-order at CDJapan.
Rock Cover Densetsu mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!
Release Date: 7/20/11
Price: 1886 yen
Rock covers of classic J-Pop songs as well as Western hits. Produced by Aqua Production and mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah! Samples sound great, so this is definitely one to look out for.
Roc Fes Mix!! mixed by DJ Shinstar
Release Date: 7/20/11
Price: 1905 yen
Rock house mix featuring covers of J-Pop and Western hits. Mixed by DJ Shinstar and produced by Aqua Productions.
Dancemania Sparkle – Best of 90s Dance Pop
Release Date: 8/3/11 ? 8/24/11
Price: 2381 yen
Delayed to August 24th from its original August 3rd release date. In the meantime, EMI have released the cover art and what appears to be the final track list. The cover isn’t quite as nice as Treasure’s; I particularly don’t care for the font used for “Sparkle.”
The tracklist is mostly predictable, with Me & My, Smile.dk, Captain Jack and E-Rotic all making an appearance. There’s also representation from Almighty and AATW, two of the most prolific Dancemania labels. A handful of tracks licensed from other companies round out the list, with Los del Rio, Mr. President, and T-Spoon making their Dancemania debuts. Notable exclusions include Bus Stop and DJ Miko. In fact, it’s disappointing that there’s nothing from Saifam at all. :/
Poptune House
Artist: Sinfonia Voice
Release Date: 6/1/11
Price: 1500 yen
House covers of J-Pop classics. This is a non-mixed CD produced by Aqua Productions.
