I made a mix of the sights and smells I felt when I visited "SHIKINE ISLAND" last year. Listen when you chill on the beach or drive.

Have a nice inner trip!

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, time or place that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. The inspiration for this mix comes from my upcoming one year of being in Australia, and I created it with the hope that the local people will get to know me. As a Japanese person, this mix is largely composed with sounds from the Japanese community and those of my seniors and friends.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. All the tracks in this mix by Chida, Keigo Okazaki, Daichi, Yamarchy, ifax!, Dj Himitsu, and KEITA SANO are important to me, but the one that stands out the most is the debut track "Got to be real" by DAICHI & Yamarchy, which will be released at the end of August. This edit seems to be a re-edit of a past track from the label Clue-L, run by Kenji Takimi.

Q. I know you’ve featured some incredible unreleased Japanese records in this mix! What Japanese artists/labels are responsible for some of your favourite sounds of late, and who should we be watching out for?

A. An artist I'm keeping an eye on is DAICHI, a member of my collective "Vinyl Youth." His recent release from MM Disco, based in Berlin and Barcelona, is still fresh in my memory, and I can't wait for what's next !

An artist to watch is KEITA SANO, and although not Japanese, Lunatic Music, based here in Melbourne, is also noteworthy. Keita is like an older brother to me :) and he releases works in a unique style at an incredible pace. (He has released five works this year alone.) 

Bart and Jack, who run Lunatic Music, have been invaluable friends since I came to Melbourne. Their label features Japanese artists, and all their releases are excellent. Be sure to check them out!

Live DJ mix extracted from the second half of the session on 16 Nov. 2024.

Sound & Vision 16.Nov.2024 - extract from the 2nd half

This is a mix I previously uploaded on NTS, made entirely from Balinese gamelan recordings. sourced by all the sounds from Balinese gamelan cassette tapes that I personally collected in Bali. I digitized the recordings and built the mix entirely from them.

I’m still getting great feedback on it, so I’m re-uploading it in high-quality WAV format.

The first part of the mix features recordings from Insitu Recordings, a label that introduces young gamelan musicians in Bali. These were recorded in the 2010s. Midway through, the mix transitions to a gamelan orchestra performance of unknown performers and an undated recording. The piece being played is Gong Kebyar, one of the most frequently performed gamelan compositions, which tells the story of Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom and arts, similar to Benzaiten in Japan.

Following that is Guguritan, a style of gamelan-based storytelling primarily performed by two male singers. One sings the narrative in Balinese, while the other provides explanations as the story unfolds.

The mix closes with the soothing sounds of Rindik, a bamboo gamelan instrument known for its warm, relaxing tones.

By the way, since none of these recordings were made in a studio, most were captured outdoors. That means you might occasionally hear birds chirping or even dogs barking in the background—giving it a raw, field recording feel
