To
cap off the BT feature we present one of our favourites from 2001. It's
done by arranger & percussionist Gota Yasheki, who records as Gota.
Born in Kyoto Japan, Gota was taught to play traditional drums by his
father. Now in the midst of a 25-year career, Gota's resume includes
work not only in his native land but also in France and Britain. It
was while he was in the UK that Gota earned his reputation as a dance
producer and songwriter. He worked with artists such as Soul II Soul
and Oleta Adams and also spent several years touring with Simply Red.
In the early 90s, he became progressively more interested in techno
and earned the nickname, the Groove Activator. From Gota's 3rd in a
series of fine solo efforts, we take great pleasure in presenting the
highly activated sounds of Cruisin' Your Way !!
