The classic collides with the contemporary on ‘How I Do It Like That’, as Makoto evades the depths and the doldrums of winter to serve up a sun-soaked-slice of feel good Drum & Bass. Fuelled by funk and firing on all cylinders, the latest release to come by way of his iconic Human Elements imprint is a track loaded with illuminative impetus; the freshest in an ever-expanding catalogue of soul warming sonics, it simultaneously succeeds in capturing his signature sound whilst layering new levels of imagination and sophistication in a way that only Makoto can deliver so flawlessly.
‘How I Do It Like That’ blurs the lines between throwback thrills and modern-magic; deftly jungle rumblings and pacy percussion offer edgier themes following on from an instantly intoxicating vocal sample, whilst piano driven ploys and Makoto’s fabled chord progressions serve as the track’s anchor. With a divine second drop and unrelenting waves of energy, Makoto’s latest track feels as exciting, eclectic and euphoric as ever - and you too will be left asking the legendary producer to explain how he does it like that!
