1st hour: Chee Shimizu / 2nd hour: Chloé Juliette

An authority on little-known gems, Chee (@OrganicChee) has been quietly but ceaselessly working on bringing forgotten music to the light, as shown in his essential book Obscure Sound (reissued in 2020). He is mostly found behind the counter at his record store Organic Music, in a quiet suburb of Tokyo. His mix (first hour) is a quiet journey across genres and worlds, representative of what is one of Chee's most well-known fields of expertise, a beautiful and mysterious zone sometimes called "listening music".

The Greater Good #10 with Chee Shimizu / LYL Radio

Salamanda on Radio Raheem (11/05/21)

It's a great pleasure to welcome Japanese electronic music stronghold Kaoru Inoue (@kaoru324), also known as Chari Chari and founder of the Seeds And Ground label, to the mix series. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Welcome on board of the series Kaoru. You're from Japan and are living in Tokyo. Do you find Tokyo, and Japan as whole, a positive place to be at as an artist?

KI: Tokyo is a fascinating city, full of crazy stimuli and exciting noise, but I don’t need it anymore as the years go by, especially after the pandemic. So now I feel like an outsider loving Tokyo and living a quiet life in its suburbs. I think it’s a positive place for artists in the sense that it’s still rich in nature and food, and the population is decreasing, despite having experienced the high economic growth and the high information society, but what we learned again after the pandemic is that government protection policies are fragile. 

MFM: Your musical output as a producer is quite large and rather versatile, from acoustic guitar sessions to more new age like soundscapes to broken beat and deep house. Where does this versatility come from? 

KI: I think it's because I've been deeply committed to music since my teens. From YMO to post-punk, ethnic, rare groove to deep house, I was already looking for and listening to music like a researcher from a young age. So I started DJing naturally as a way to mix and share my records, and my outputs could be a fusion of them. However, so to speak, I’ve been most influenced by the contextuality of House music, and when looking at everything from a bird’s eye view, I can say that my main interest is, in a word, in “Minimalism”.

MFM: Your music -regardless which moniker you use- sounds extremely organic, very earthly but also mystical and sacred. As if it was recorded far deep in nature amongst some indigenous tribe's ritual. Where does this signature sound come from, what are its origins?

KI: My early tunes were strongly influenced by the atmosphere of Bali & Java in Indonesia, where I used to visit in my twenties, and I think it still remains somewhere in me. I also have a cultural anthropological interest in folk or tribal music from all over the world, and I even am influenced by ecological ideas. (In recent years, I’ve been more into traditional & contemporary music from my own country than ever before.) I think that’s why it is.

MFM: Hence your own label's name Seeds And Ground too probably? 

KI: Indeed, and it’s a metaphor for sex and creation.

MFM: How about the instruments? There's guitar, lots and lots of percussion, marimba, field recordings, plenty chords too... Are you a trained musician and do you record all these parts yourself (with the real instruments)? 

KI: I had learnt to play piano as a child and taught myself to play guitar from the age of 13. However, after encountering DJ culture in my early twenties, I quit a band and didn’t play an instrument for a while. So I know a little more about harmony, chords and so on than the average DJ. I’ve also started to play the guitar again a little bit in a few projects since I started producing electronic music, but only in a very specific way. I’ve also recorded with many different musicians so far.

MFM: So, what can you tell about the mix you've made? Did you record it with a certain vibe or theme or purpose in mind?

KI: It’s a rethinking of “New Age”ish or “Obscure”ish music, past and present. Some Japanese music from the 80s and 90s has also been included with respect to Eiji & Norio who compiled “Heisei No Oto”. And two of my recent tracks as Chari Chari are also included.

MFM: By the way, by the look of your shirt you're a Jodorowsky fan? :)

KI: I look up to Jodorowsky as my mentor, especially after reading his autobiography. I got this shirt as a return from the Endless Poetry crowdfunding campaign.

Jonny Nash - Oddity Influence Mix

Mayurashka's exclusive mix for RDC "Sound Horizon" podcast:

"Since the beginning of 2022, I have been releasing floor-friendly mixes for various labels and radios so I wanted to try something different for RDC. This mix is themed around “water” which is my source of inspiration when composing.
This mix is a selection of tracks where you can feel the water and drips, not beat-matching but water-matching."

"2022年に入りフロアフレンドリーなDJ　MIXは多数のレーベルやラジオで公開してきたため、RDCへのミックスは趣旨を変えて作曲時にインスピレーションをもらう”水”をテーマに制作してみました。
水や滴を感じる曲のみをビートマッチングではなくウォーターマッチングさせたMIXです。"

"This mix was made for the H&S mix series, but it could also be a collection of my memories of this summer. My summer this year was a very personal and memorable summer, and I wanted to keep it in some form of diary. I guess the theme is "dreamy minimal found in the midst of passion".  Listen to it in any way you like and enjoy :)"

Next up we have the wonderful @littledeadgirl0108 from Japan with a nostalgic mix of their dreamy 2022 summer.
