The track Kaneda from the renowned anime film Akira is the first track in this mix and forms the base for what's to come. It inspired me to search for recent and old electronic tracks that feature prominent percussion in some form. Some of my favorites include The Start It Up by Joey Beltram, Chant, which is an early Armand Van Helden track featuring 2 Clues Frankie Bones and James Christian, Roots Dub by The Deep Space Rythm Section and then Vacaciones en Chile by Ilario Alicante, which I included because the percussion in this track is also its vocal going "tack ke ta ke tack".
