One of Japan's finest, record shop rare groove's head honcho Norio Sato coming through with a sweet, hour-long mix. Japanese sound sources since 1989 from CD's only on this one - expect a wide range, from Ambient, to Jazz and City-Pop. We were glad that we had him!

"Norio is the owner of RECORD SHOP rare groove in Osaka, Japan.

His store has a wide and deep selection of Disco, Psychedelic Rock, New Age Music, House Music and more...

His DJ style also reflects a wide selection of dance music and his diverse store catalog.

You can listen to his mixes on internet radio and podcasts such as Dublab(L.A.), NTS Radio(London), Rinse FM(London), Redlight Radio(Amsterdam), Noise In My Head(Melbourne), Butter Sessions(Melbourne), Sanpo Disco(Melbourne), Krossfingers(Ukraine) and more...

He took part in the music guide book「WA B・O・O・G・I・E 1980s Japanese Boogie / Funk / Modern Soul / Fusion」by contributing his unique taste. It was a notable release in Japan and the international music scene.

He often opens a Japanese Music Pop-up Record store in California which is very popular among local enthusiasts.

He was in charge of selecting songs for the Japanese music compilation "Heisei No Oto (Japanese Left-Field Pop From The CD Age, 1989-1996)" released on Music From Memory in 2021 with AZ(Revelation Time).

If you are ever visiting Osaka, please stop by RECORD SHOP rare groove to say hello and discover local parties and events."

As co-founder of the MNML SSGS blog, Chris SSG was at the heart of dance music's most pressing discussions and cutting edge sounds from 2007 - 2012. Though originally from Melbourne, he has been based between Osaka and Tokyo for some time. It is in that city that he has hosted a number of events while also playing his own ambient, techno and experimental sets further afield around Japan as well as at European clubs like Nachtdigital, Sustain-Release and Berghain.  

He says of this week's mix, "Half-jokingly I describe my style as ‘big room ambient’. Well, for two years, I did not play in any rooms, big or small. Then, finally I did, again, and this was what happened. This is the recording of an extended extended ambient and deep space session at a chill out party in Tokyo. I tried to play in a way that really captures my approach to playing ambient, moving between different energies and making contrasts, while featuring many of my favourite artists. This was a special experience for me, and I am very grateful to be able to share it with you." And he does just that over the course of four absorbing and compelling hours. Myriad different worlds are explored from textured and tense to blissed out and beautiful, but the whole mix is held together with a narrative arc that is greater than the sum of its parts.
