MFM: Welcome to the series Courtney. Born in Japan, now living in Germany... Can you tell a bit about your upbringing in Japan and what kind of role music played?

CB: I grew up in a small chill seaside city about an hour away from Tokyo by local train. When I was young, skateboarding and surfing was always around. So when I was 17, I got into skateboarding and used to hang out with friends at a local skate shop. That shop had turntables and a mixer, and the owner often played records. l thought that was cool and started to get more into house music playing with the mixer. Then I started to go more parties in Tokyo! And I started organizing parties and started DJing. I really love DJing,  I’d even mix on a DJ app on my phone while riding the train to Tokyo for work, haha. My parents also love all kinds of music, and when I was little, they used to take me to little beach parties during the summer. Sometimes I would jump in and sing at live shows there! 

MFM: Your voice plays an essential role in your songs, mostly singing in Japanese. How did that start and what is the writing and recording process like?

CB: The music from this album came together after I first listened to Dream Dolphin. I was instantly drawn into the dark but hopeful and deep sound. After that I couldn’t stop making music!  I was also inspired by other Japanese new age artists from the ’90s, like Poison Girl Friend, Nav Katze etc. I come up with the lyrics at the same time as making the track or make the track first and then fit the words to it. All the vocals on this album were recorded with my MacBook’s built-in mic. My younger brother joined for one track, and we actually recorded the voice from the phone through computer mic.

MFM: How do you go about writing music in general and where do you get your inspiration from? 

CB: I don’t have a studio, so I work from home. I don’t really have a routine. I am always having new experiences in Berlin and also doing lots of travel. And also enjoying the party scene a little bit haha. So every day feels different! I am glad that I have moments of high productivity and inspiration during these interesting times!

Mix for  Sagome & Phase Group on Worldwide FM

Sagome & Phase Group present Phuong-Dan on Worldwide FM

@ameliaholt’s mix is built on restraint and a steady descent as opposed to a strike, not through force, but a gentle driving course. 

The sculpture released with this mix is inspired by all things Amelia Holt; feminine, seductive, alluring, and indulgent.  Hard work need not be cruel when guided by pleasure, even the softest drop eventually hollows stone.

17 tracks of high-energy intellectualism. 'The Karl Marx Sessions' takes the frantic energy of 1940s Bebop and fuses it with the revolutionary theory of the 19th century. Just as Parker and Gillespie broke the rules of musical structure, Karl Marx broke the rules of economic thought. From the fast-paced 'The Air' to the complex changes of 'The Ensemble,' this is the sound of the dialectic in motion
