High Noon W/ SKEME RICHARDS VALENTINE DAY LOVE 090224

こんにちは！私の名前はストローです。私は WRIR の「パノラミック」という番組の司会者で...

So, it's a whole mood out there. So why not do a whole mood in here, or between your ears at least?

This is 「日本のシューゲイザ」, two hours of 「Japanese shoegaze」and also dream pop, post-rock, shibuya-kei. 

This is the final version of a rough draft I started on WRIR's Mercury Falls and entered into Banji Kaicho canon. Find FREDY J on Soundcloud.

Enjoy!

We know many of you have been waiting for this one...

We're overjoyed to finally be able to share the recording from a night in The Bowl with the pioneering DJ, producer, and architect for much of today's house music; Ron Trent.

Known for sets that embody the essence of soul, his performance from last Summer was undoubtedly a highlight for many.

Spring Noon Lovers Rock Mix (Live Mix@パンと音楽とアンティーク Mar.29 2025)

Spring Noon Disko Mix (Live Mix@パンと音楽とアンティーク Mar.29 2025)

On this month’s show, we are delighted to share a guest mix from the legendary Japanese ambient visionary Dream Dolphin. Dream Dolphin assembles a deeply transportive journey through her own otherworldly catalogue - drawing on decades of music that fuses ambient, trance, healing frequencies, and celestial spoken word. The mix ripples with high-frequency synths, aquatic atmospheres, and dream-coded transmissions - offering a glimpse into a world where new age mysticism meets early internet-era dance-floor surrealism. Both ancient and futuristic, it’s a sonic meditation on memory, imagination, and the spirit of the dolphin.

chOOn!! w/ Dream Dolphin: 18th May '25

www.wrir.org/2025/11/10/to-sing-is-to-listen-2/

Brand new show in tribute to Bill and his Global A Go-Go, today on Banji Kaicho WRIR 97.3FM 1PM-3 ET. Japanese cumbia, salsa, afro-cuban jazz, rare groove, minyo, dub… a lot of sounds Bill and I often found ourselves circling toward from different directions, and nodding in recognition when we met in the middle. The second hour focuses on African rhythms as they echo through different genres, a reminder of music as conversation across boarders and ages. To quote what Bill named one of his last blog posts on globalagogo.com, “To sing is to listen”. We’ll keep living that mission.
