trackmaker Tomggg releases remix EP of hit song ‘ICHIGO MIRUKU’ featuring Filipino singer ena mori!

With his uniquely original sound, Japanese trackmaker Tomggg is attracting attention from music fans around the world. Now, Tomggg has released an EP stacked with remixes of his hit song ‘ICHIGO MIRUKU’ featuring ena mori, the Filipino singer who took the No.1 spot in NME’s Best Asian Albums of 2022 list.

Originally released in April this year, ‘ICHIGO MIRUKU’ is sung in a mix of English and Japanese, and its lively and fun depiction of a girl lost in Tokyo synchronizes perfectly with Tomggg’s precise, unique beats. The song’s idiosyncratic pop sound caught the ears of many music fans, and it quickly began to receive high acclaim. 

In June, audio stems of ‘ICHIGO MIRUKU’ were made freely available to anyone who wanted to use them, and this remix collection includes seven amazing songs by creators who used those stems to make their own tracks. Tomggg himself selected the remixes from over 70 submissions, each of which are uniquely original, creating an impressive collection of songs that convey the various perspectives and talents of each artist.
