Title: GO
Artist: DAG FORCE
Release Date: March 22, 2025
Produced by: Takahiro Izumikawa

"GO" is a track that explores the importance of trusting one's instincts and intuition in today's overwhelming flood of information. In a society dictated by rigid rules and algorithms, the song delivers a powerful message-the only thing you can truly change is yourself.

Created in New York during the pandemic, this track encourages embracing the present, acknowledging one's own vulnerabilities, and moving forward to freely shape the future. Through bold lyricism and an infectious groove, DAG FORCE expresses the necessity of letting go of frustration and fear, choosing instead to embrace love and joy while carving out one's own path.

Produced by New York-based Takahiro Izumikawa, the track showcases meticulously crafted sound design that complements DAG FORCE's raw and authentic lyricism, delivering a compelling and immersive listening experience.

Additionally, this single serves as a pre-release from the upcoming album "IMA," set to drop in April. As the album's opening track, "GO" acts as the listener's gateway into its world-an invitation to open new doors and embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

About "Stonp Or Die"
This release includes two versions of "Stonp Or Die":

Album Version - Lyrics by DAG FORCE, composed, recorded, and mixed by Takahiro Izumikawa at Access Art Studio in New York.

Film Version - Lyrics and production by DAG FORCE, arranged by AstroGuitar, mixed and mastered by KTANTALAND.

This track serves as the ending theme song for "STONP OR DIE," the final installment of the legendary snowboard video series marking STONP's return after eight years. 

Featuring Kazu Kokubo, a global snowboarding icon, alongside Olympic medalists and world-ranked riders, the song captures the struggles, passion, and determination of snowboarders who dedicate their lives to the sport.

An anthem dedicated to all athletes and challengers who push their limits.

Brick By Brick

Gotu

Castro Beats

A collaboration single by GOTU, a rapper from Tha Jointz, and DAG FORCE, who is currently based in New York, is finally available!

GOTU, one of the frontmen of "Jointz" with a variety of solo moves and characters, has a cool and soft style, such as songs with singers, and a brand new single has arrived!
He reunited with DAG FORCE at the apparel store "TUNNEL" where he works, and this collaboration is a reflection of the sympathy they felt after going through their respective environments and current situations.
The verse, which mellows out his new determination to start traveling back and forth to Northern Europe and his feelings for his loved ones, is a song that guides us even more clearly to the future, with the blues sung by DAG FORCE, the chorus by Stella Lu, and the chemistry of the Castro beats that echo it.
A flow that inspires the next self from each city. I gotta go!!
