“This mix is dedicated not only to contemporary Japanese culture, but allows equally for elements of their historical tradition. Drawing mostly on Japanese electronic music from the 1970s-80s, I wanted to express a fascination for aspects of popular and underground culture: from the intensity of manga, to freaky dreamy kaiju, from DIY punk, to space synths and kintsugi. In this way I acknowledge a weird (dis)continuum with the electronic energy and attitudes of today.”
