Digging Through Japan
Precious find's through Japan.
A trip in research of finding records between Osaka to Kyoto to Tokyo.
YPY – Be A Little More Selfish [EM Records]
A special find in Kyoto at Meditations — Osaka-based Koshiro Hino, aka YPY. Polyrhythmic electronics at its finest.
Kaoru Inoue – Rhythms of Dedication [SeedsAndGround]
A ritual in Tokyo is stopping by Lighthouse Records — I rarely leave empty-handed. If you’re into adventurous, rainforest-rhythms like me, this one’s for you.
Susumu Yokota - Acid Mt. Fuji (Remastered 30th Anniversary Edition) [musicmine]
1994 masterpiece, period.
Check out the liner notes — written by Alex From Tokyo, who was a close friend of Yokota and lived through the 90s Tokyo club scene from the inside.
Reflect and Dream. Reissue Found at Disk Union in Shibuya.
Purely Interactive [Shot of T]
Sounds from Outer Space.
‘Kollluūt’ is my pick, discovered at Compufunk Records in Osaka.
MAYUDEPTH - Angels from Hell feat. Umi Ishihara [四季協会 Shiki Kyokai]
Hand-stamped, limited-edition 12" picked up at Compufunk Records in Osaka by Tokyo based, Mayudepth. Including Two heavyweight versions from DJ Shufflemaster on the B-side.
Until the next — as always, please follow and support the artists or labels behind these wonderful releases.
These are absolute gems, thank you for sharing. Acid Mt. Fuji has been on repeat ever since.
Another Japanese gem would be Ambiant Otaku by Tetsu Inoue, worth checking out :)
