Maharaja presents Global Mix
Release Date: 10/2/13
Price: 2400 yen
OMG, new Maharaja release! Unfortunately, it’s not what you might expect. Apparently the Maharaja Roppongi club has a “Global Mix” event where they play EDM and other Top 40 hits. Perhaps in an effort to represent global studios, they’ve licensed tracks from Saifam, Power Music, and Dynamix in addition to in-house tracks. I actually thought that something like this would end up being Rave Mix 001.
Rave Mix Boom! 001
Release Date: 8/7/13
Price: 1200 yen
Digital EP featuring full versions to accompany the recently released CD. I can’t help but think it’s a little pricey, though. EMI’s EDM Compilations were 900 yen for 13-14 songs, while this is 1,200 yen for 10 songs. Avex tax, I guess 🙁
Ultra EDM #1 ? Rave Mix 001
Release Date: 7/17/13 ? 8/7/13
Price: 1905 yen
Despite the name change to the more generic “Rave Mix,” this is still indisputably an EDM album, with familiar names like Afrocjack, Nervo, Armin van Buuren, and Avicii.
DJ Kaori’s Party Mix 5

Release Date: 7/24/13 ? 8/14/13

Ultra EDM #1 ? Rave Mix 001
Release Date: 7/17/13 ? 8/7/13
Price: 1905 yen
Is the Japanese EDM boom over already? Avex’s Ultra EDM #1 has been delayed to August and renamed to Rave Mix 001. It just seems odd that their shying away from the EDM term.

EDM ~Electronic Dance Madness~ 4
Release Date: 6/5/13 ? 6/26/13 ? Release Cancelled
Price: 2190 yen
Bad news for EDM fans. It seems that EDM 4 has been cancelled for the time being. I hope this isn’t a result of Universal meddling. -_-
Update! DJ Tomo mentioned on his Twitter that the EMI/Universal merger was indeed responsible. Parlophone, formerly part of EMI and home to David Guetta and Coldplay (basically half of EDM), was sold off to Warner as part of the merger, so DJ Tomo was no longer able to use their songs freely. I wonder if he was in the middle of mixing the CD when the sale was finalized, and he wouldn’t have been able to do an entirely new list in such little time?
He goes on to apologize to anyone who was looking forward to EDM 4. He does say that he’s considering a new project, which may be released in August. There’s no mention if the EDM series will continue in the future.
Unfortunately, this has bad implications for Dancemania as well. EMI subsidiaries in European countries like Denmark and Sweden were also sold off to Warner, so say good-bye to the likes of Me & My and Smile.dk 🙁

Ultra EDM #1
Release Date: 7/17/13
Price: 1905 yen
Gee, welcome to 2012, Avex. They’re a little late to the bandwagon, but Avex’s first non-Disney EDM compilation will be released this July. The title seems like it could be a throwback to their old Ultra Dance series. Featured artists include Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Avicii, and others.
