The King of EDM mixed by DJ Yagi & DJ Taga
Release Date: 10/1/14
Price: 900 yen
Digital non-stop mix featuring hit EDM tracks. Mixed by DJ Yagi & DJ Taga. DJ Yagi used to be featured quite prominently on FARM’s Psychedelic Lover series, so it’s interesting to see him doing EDM now.

Party Splash -Countdown Mega Mix- mixed by DJ Roc the Masaki
Release Date: 11/12/14
Price: 1800 yen
Sequel to Party Splash -Global Mega Hits-, and once again mixed by DJ Roc the Masaki. It looks like it’ll be a mix of AV8, Spinnin’ Records, and FARM artists.
EDM Revolution -World Dance Anthems- mixed by DJ Daiki & Kamiyama Seigo
Release Date: 11/12/14
Price: 2000 yen
Another new EDM compilation from FARM Records. This one will be mixed by DJ Daiki and Kamiyama Seigo. The early track list looks like it’ll be mostly Spinnin’ Records.
DJ Kaori’s Best EDM Mix
Release Date: 11/26/14
Price: 2050 yen
The latest release in the hugely popular DJ Kaori’s Mix series, which has sold over 4 million copies over the years since its debut in 2005. This one will focus on EDM hits, though the early list looks really mainstream. You can visit the official website for more info on previous entries.
I Love EDM -Hits & Anthems-
Release Date: 10/8/14
Price: 1850 yen
New dance compilation from Universal and the possible substitute for EDM Anthem IV. As expected, 20 of the 29 tracks are repeats from previous entries in the EDM Anthem series. As expected, it’s part of the I Love Party series.
Big Paaartyy!! In the EDM mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!
Release Date: 10/8/14
Price: 2000 yen
New EDM compilation from FARM Records, featuring a mix of Spinnin’ Records songs and in-house covers. I love that it has a 3-minute megamix of 5 different mixes of Booyah.
Sick EDM 02 mixed by C’k
Release Date: 10/1/14
Price: 1852 yen
New EDM release from Dreamusic and the second in the Sick EDM series. Mixed by C’k, who some may remember was a member of the J-Pop group, Shanadoo. Quite a few licenses from Spinnin’ Records, and there are even two songs that already appeared on the first Sick EDM. The last third of the album does feature original Japanese-produced EDM, however, including a collaboration between C’k and Overhead Champion.
Ultra Music Festival Japan recently took place, and a lot of companies have released or will release EDM compilations to capitalize on the EDM boom. I’ve compiled a quick list here and will update it as more releases pop up.

Ultra Music Festival Japan 2014
Release Date: 8/20/14
Price: 2200 yen
Official tie-in compilation for the Japanese leg of the Ultra Musical Festival tour that’s taking place today and tomorrow. Featured EDM artists include Afrojack, Calvin Harris, Kaskade, Martin Garrix and Krewella. I think there’s some sort of concerted effort among all of the Japanese labels to cram “Booyah” down our throats.
I believe this isn’t a non-stop mix, as a digital version is available featuring 14/18 songs, and the track lengths are similar to the CD versions. The digital version is a rip-off, too, as you can only purchase the songs individually for 200 yen each.
J-Pop de EDM Shinwa
Release Date: 9/17/14
Price: 1850 yen
EDM covers of J-Pop hits. No word on who’ll be producing the covers.
Big Paaartyy!! In the EDM mixed by DJ Fumi*Yeah!
Release Date: 10/8/14
Price: 2000 yen
New EDM compilation from FARM Records, featuring a mix of Spinnin’ Records song and in-house covers. Kind of strange that they’ve seemingly abandoned the Love EDM brand.
Best Mix ~Cheval Edition~ EDM & All Mix Party mixed by *Groovy workshop.
Release Date: 9/24/14 ? 10/29/14
Price: 2200 yen
The latest release in Avex’s ongoing Best Mix series. Expected to feature 25 songs from various genres. Mixed by *Groovy workshop.
Pre-order at CDJapan.
I Love EDM -Hits & Anthems-
Release Date: 10/8/14
Price: 1850 yen
New dance compilation from Universal. EDM Anthem IV really should’ve been announced by now, so I think this may be its substitute. The title sort of coincides with Universal’s I Love Party series, which makes me think it’ll be part of some larger “I Love” series. Of course, since this will technically be a new release I wouldn’t be surprised if they use it as an excuse to feature repeats from EDM Anthem.
The release is also being touted as an unofficial tie-in to the Ultra Music Festival Japan, er, festival. Sony Music Japan are releasing the official compilation, but that’s not stopping all of the other labels from trying to cash in.
Pre-order at CDJapan.
