Contrary to popular belief, "Shakuhachi" by Darren Ashley, from his series "Monday Juice", is not a "limited-time-only" smoothie, but in fact is a song with a great Japanese flavour (no pun intended). Fun Fact: the title,"Shakuhachi", is actually the name of a Japanese bamboo flute, which is also the main instrument in the song.

 To achieve this track, add one dollop of ethnic sounding instruments, a scoop of Japanese voice samples and a sprinkle of one liners from Darren himself and there you have it! A beautiful song that makes you believe that you're in a rain forest - a really hyped up one might I add - but also makes you want to get up and shake (Oops I did it again).

I seriously recommend checking this guy out as he's someone to definitely keep an eye on, you can keep up with him via his Facebook and Youtube !
