Gonno & XTAL - Sugar Mix Tape Vol.2
"Sugar" is a party by Gonno & XTAL with the concept of enjoying a variety of music, with dance music at the center.
“Sugar Mix Tape Vol.1” was released in July 2022 to convey the atmosphere of “Sugar”. Volume 2 will be released following Volume 1, which was sold out to great success.
Gonno is in charge of the A side. The B-side for Vol.1 focused on house music, but this time, for the A-side, it was a cross-over of genres, from electronic music to 60s rock, jazz, and Japanese pop music. Development of song selection and mix. From there, it finally takes 60 minutes to kick things up a notch with dance music. The B-side, XTAL, is a new album, with a slow rise centered on current alternative R&B. From there, it moves into a stateless disco time, with a rock feel sprinkled throughout. The song maintains the happy atmosphere that is one of the characteristics of "Sugar" until it finally lands on a 60's rare groove ballad.
