Living Water Assembly with Sako @ The Lot Radio 01-23-2025

2024 release on Selva Sounds, out of Amagasaki. Focus on sampling obscure 90s US alternative/shoegaze/post-hardcore/noise band guitar atmospherics on top of UK rhythms from the same time period.

inside my head arcx.soux, shoegaze jungle and survival horror bass all start here, before honing in and trying to develop each respectively as separate entities. Artwork by Takeda Nishiki / ICHIRR.

Manami with Naco - 13 July 2025

All Digital mix of his early tunes. From his first one on Cert 18 up to the end of his initial run of heavily breaks based tunes around 1996. His beats went more tech and sparse in 97 but this selection is peak Think, Amens, bongos and Apaches coupled with trademark dubwise basslines. Real Kemistry & Storm tunes. His production back then was pretty loose and experimental and it all adds to the ragged dubbed out flavour running side by side with the crunchy pads, strings and atmospherics. Proper deep journey tunes showcasing the studio time with Photek and Spirit that was likely going on at that time... Only got through half the tracks I had pulled out in 90mins so this is prob Round One.
