Real / Fake Japanese Popular Music Mix from 1914~1980 by Yusuke Wajima & dj sniff *Commissioned by Global Pop Cultures Magazine, edition: “Real Fake, Fake Realness”
Starting from the early 1900s, Japanese popular music was established through incorporating various styles of foreign music such as jazz, Hawaiian, tango, and Afro- Cuban music. Its history is full of local composers releasing under fake foreign identities, mixed race and American-born Japanese singers, and overseas groups singing in Japanese. While this hybrid music is now nostalgic and even retro, it also illustrates how colonialism/post-colonialism, ethnicity, and stereotypes have played out in cultural identities and global pop cultures. Tracks selection and comments provided by musicologist Yusuke Wajima. DJ mix, introduction, and English translation by dj sniff (Takuro Mizuta Lippit).

Introducing the first episode of Mothernism for this year with an exceptional guest @omsource 

I've followed Christelle for a long time and have always admired her creative expression, attitude, and confidence as an artist. Most of all, I was curious about how she balances motherhood with her outstanding performances.

In this show, you will hear sincere and direct answers to questions about Christelle's experience of DJing and motherhood. I'm happy I had the opportunity to chat with Christelle and share with you an honest interview with an artist who is also a mom, shedding light on this personal and unique story.

Mothernism w/ Stellar OM Source (22/02/2024)

Lucy Park is a berlin based noisemaker and dj. Her sound palette involves the perverted side of rock, junk shop radio off-cuts, loud sticky band practice, rough handed heart-string plucking, drumming on the point of coming and the faint scratching of a cowgirl writing her name in the sand.
