I've always been a huge fan of Makoto's music. He's got that funky and soulful touch on drum & bass. Especially things on his Human Elements LP have taken my breath away many times. The use of natural sounding instruments such as horns – and of course my favorite Fender Rhodes – makes the sound so much different from the usual somewhat electronic sound of d&b.

Makoto's also been working a lot on producing tunes and there's quite a nice arsenal of tunes from him. So I finally put together an all Makoto mix that i've been planning to do for years now.

To keep some consistency, I didn't include all the house/brokenbeat production this man has done. I highly suggest to give a try for tunes like I Want Your Love, You're Divine ft. Lori Fine and Can't Hold It Back ft. Deeizm.
