This month we welcome Mari*, a driving force behind much beloved online radio station Worldwide FM. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Mari, people might know you for being one of the driving forces behind Worldwide FM. Can you tell a bit about what you do there and how you ended up with that position?

M: I am “Head of programming and A&R” at Worldwide FM. I oversea programming, produce special guest shows and develop relationships with artists and labels. I’ve been working in radio for about 20 years. Starting with college radio in Boston, and subsequently I worked in New York and then Tokyo and now I’m based in London. So, I’ve always worked as a radio producer! From 2005, I produced Gilles Peterson’s daily show for 7-8 years on J-WAVE, one of the biggest FM radio stations in Japan. I also produced music events for the radio show and brought him over to Japan a couple of times, and this is how I started working with Gilles. 

MFM: How's the online radio scene in Japan actually?

M: Unfortunately, Japan is super behind with anything got to do with playing music online due to the strict and old school music copyright laws. Even Japanese radio stations are not broadcast outside of Japan. People still love tuning into AM/FM radio which could be a good thing, but it’s hard for music to be heard outside of Japan if the copyright law is too strict. Japan is probably one of the most complicated places to start an online music platform which people can tune into for free.

MFM: It seems that the pandemic brought many new online broadcasting stations, likely due to a lack of a stage for artists. How do you feel about this development?

M: It’s great that people realised there is so much potential in online radio stations during the pandemic. Hopefully, listening to radio will stay part of people’s life. Now the norm is back, people are getting busier and artists are back in the studio and touring. It is impossible to run a station in the same way as it was during the pandemic, so stations need to keep up and make relevant adjustments in their programming to fit into this changing world. Continuation is key to success, and also “sustainability” is another essential element to be considered, especially for independent online radio stations.

MFM: How important do you believe online radio is in the current field of music? What do you believe should be its main purpose?

M: With online radio there are so many possibilities and more freedom of expression, whereas traditional radio has to deal with regulations and politics. Online radio can build a strong sense of community as most of them were started out of sheer love to support music and culture. The interesting thing is that online radio can build a community that is Worldwide! Also, online radio could be a good start for young DJs and a place to develop young and up and coming artists as the presenting skills you need are much less on online radio than the traditional radio. There isn’t any format how online radio should be or sound like so there are more possibilities to create something new. I hope to continue searching and developing the unique and engaging platform where people feel welcome and part of by tuning in from any part of the world.

MFM: As a host yourself, what do you seek for in a show? 

M: I like to insert unique content in my radio show which is not just about presenting new music. I like to have some humour and personality in my show, and make people feel great with my music tastes. I don’t have much to say about other people’s show but being original is very important, people follow personality, great content and like to enjoy a show.

MFM: Any future plans at Worldwide FM you'd like to share? A scoop maybe?

M: We are building a new studio which will allow us to do more including live sessions! I cannot wait!

Mix of the Week #466: Louis Largo

We are more than happy to welcome Elliot (@curiousaboutmusic) to our hallooo Mix Series. Stay curious for a beautiful mix of forgotten treasures, freschlie dusted of to bring the sunshine in. 🌬🧡👀 Enjoy the journey! ‘Curiously Yours’ 🎶

.
↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH ELLIOT ↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?
 
I start with one track and work through the mix one track at a time seeing what works and what doesn’t. I always have a few tracks that I’d like to put in the mix at the start, but most of the time I can never get them to work/fit. In some ways, the tracks pick themselves until I’ve got something I’m happy with.
 
I hope this mix comes across as fun and a bit different if you manage to get through the full hour! It’s full of new records I’ve picked up this year.

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?
 
There are a few records in this mix that I managed to buy directly from the artists. I’m very grateful to them for getting back to me and sharing stories from back then. To promote her single back in 84, Laine August paraded Kensington in a milkmaid outfit with her boyfriend at the time and a friend dressed as a pantomime cow.
 
A lot of great records have no information about the release/artist so it’s always cool to get further info you can’t get from clicking purchase.

Q: How do you dig for new music? 
 
I’m not the most conventional buyer going, I’ve only set foot in a record store once! I do most my ‘digging’ and buying online.
 
There’s a lot of great music that you can come across on ebay that aren’t yet catalogued on discogs. I have a few keyword ebay searches that I check daily to see if anything new and interesting has been listed. Searches like ‘private press’, ‘private synth’, ‘outsider’, ‘outsider synth’ etc. can help you find cool and interesting things. I buy a bit of everything and I’m a big fan of amateur sounding music. I also browse ‘latest additions’ on discogs which has been working pretty well for me the last couple of months. Still got to take a risk on the blind most of the time though and that rarely works out ha.
 
I’m sure lots of collectors do the same but maybe this is interesting to some people.
 
Q: One record you will never let go, one that doesn’t want to leave your waitlist and one guilty pleasure?
 
I don’t think I’ll ever sell my copy of The Wandering Magi. I ended up messaging every record store in Ohio and it took me ages to find a copy! I’m forever grateful to Skeleton Dust Records in Ohio who sold me the record at their listed price. They honoured their original pricing despite the recent discogs sales, I don’t think I could morally ever sell the copy.
 
One record I really would like to get my hands on is Sash – Sash (1988). There are two tracks from it on the cratesLA YT and I’m yet to see another copy come up for sale. Hopefully someone sources deadstock one day as I’ve had no luck sourcing a copy.
 
I have a few guilty pleasure records that are mostly just amateur private press covers. I always try and fit one in a mix, just can’t help it!
 
 
Q: Music bonds people. Any djs/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out? 

Everyone I talk to, you know who you are!

Hallooo Mix Series No.14 – Curious Music

Near ubiquity is something unimaginable for anyone, even if we consider how the internet helps us transcend distances and timezones, but it seems to be easily accomplished by this vinyl-loving and show-hoarding selector that we have as our special guest at this edition of Gop Cast. Bianca Lexis is the kind of DJ that can accumulate as many outlets for displaying her immense creativity as opportunities to show off her gigantic collection: she seizes them all without diluting neither her unique collecting sensibility nor her special selecting ability. And from a steady slot at Dublab in her hometown of LA to her own spot at NTS aptly named ‘Panorama Heaven’ everything she does carries the same care for the audience and commitment to share her treasures that is shown here.

NO DEMOS PLEASE! 
growing bin records is a micro-label and online record store. With lots of love and affection we bring you music that is special to our ears. Well actually we're a one man business, but "we" sounds a bit more professional, or maybe even royal. Forget about that. We're small and not a bit royal and we'll stay small and loyal. Cheers!  If I should not react to your demo I probably didn't feel it, and I'm too shy to tell you.  Sorry but life is short and I don't release stuff that i feel 100%. Keep on keeping on! 
I am actually not releasing much at all at the moment as I am focussing on selling the thousands of used records in my studio (that has to move later in the year) so do me a favour and come over to the bin aka www.growingbinrecords.com and help me get rid of the gold ...(no not my own collection!)
