A liquid funk piece by Xiang & Yuan. You might have heard of this guy from beatmania if you're into that. Actually, many of these guys in Diverse System are in the bemani scene.

Though he has only released a slew of tracks, this sound seems to be his style. Mermaid is definitely the most jungle-ish piece in the whole album, really old school. In fact, CD2 seems to be filled with chill stuff whereas CD1 is more aggressive or commercial.

If you have a set of monitors I recommend listening to this one with those, as the high-pitched synths are a little uncomfortable through headphones. That way you can listen to it loud without any trouble. I'm tempted to say, this is kind of an unfortunate mixing oversight, as otherwise this track is delicious. I could just loop 6:14 - 6:58 forever.
Come to think of it, it could be this was his intention all along. This tune is so legit that it can't be tamed, you see.
