Medium J is a DJ and producer from Brighton, UK. Currently situated in South East London where he has held a residency on local radio station Balamii for the past two years, running the show Easy Dreaming (EZDR); an introspective mix series which has featured the likes of P Relief, Slowfoam and DJ Alex as special guests. 

His tastes can be traced as a progression from the blissed out ambient, downtempo and breaks that he plays on his radio show, all the way through to his club sets where he delves deep into house, techno and bass music to create rolling progressions of locked grooves and transcendental party music.

Enjoy a lush mix!

Become and Exist

The three records Powder has been responsible for have been reviewed by three different writers here at Juno Plus - a perfect reflection of the appeal her oddball house reductions and ambient odes to Hiroshi Yoshimura have. It is Sling & Samo DJ's forever rewarding Born Free label we have to thank for uncovering Powder with last year's Spray 12", whilst Andy Hogge's ESP Institute helped fill in some of the blanks for an artist with seemingly little to no online presence. The Highly 12" that arrived late into 2015 outlined Powder as a young Japanese producer raised in the rural countryside but now living in Tokyo whose mundane day job in the electronics industry is augmented by her nightly production experiments.

Some digging around online reveals prior to her Powder output, she was involved in putting on parties with the Cos Mes crew under the name DJ Offer. It feels like we are only beginning to see the true potential of Powder though, with an imminent second 12" for Born Free the tip of a production iceberg. See the mix she did for Australian fashion label PAM last year that consisted entirely of original and mostly unreleased Powder material. We've been nudging Powder for a mix for quite some time and were suitably delighted when she submitted a 52-minute session last month.

Trade secret: we always state podcast submissions can consist of anything music-wise so long as they accurately reflect the artist responsible. This Powder selection is a perfect example, taking in the Disco Mantras of Mood Hut, breaks covers of Art of Noise, Soichi Terada-style house music, J-pop and so much more. In her own words the mix is a "Soundtrack for Japanese V-cinema," with the emoji-loving producer clarifying this is a genre of film dedicated to the Yakuza. Powder declined the opportunity to answer some questions, preferring to let the music speak for her instead. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

In 1999, Kaoru Inoue released his debut album, Spring to Summer as Chari Chari. Available via File Records—and picked up shortly after by Portuguese label Última—the Sagamihara-born artist expertly blended ambient, tribal, house and jazz instrumentation into twelve elegant, electro-acoustic compositions.

Listening back to the album now, knowing the work Inoue has gone on to do, it’s easy to see the eclectic Spring as a marker for things to come. Since first getting into music and DJing in the early ‘90s, the Tokyo-based producer has released several records under his own name and as Chari Chari, started his own label, formed a minimal acoustic guitar band and became a highly respected DJ, both domestically and internationally. Last year, he released We hear the last decades dreaming, his first LP as Chari Chari in over 18 years and maybe the best of his career. Like his debut, dreaming displays a preternatural understanding of timbre, texture and atmosphere. It begins with the hiss of a departing train and moves from intricate Balearic percussion to ECM-inspired guitar solos to more hypnagogic ambient. It’s a record imbued with a sense of forward movement, and in a year as stationary as 2020, it offered some respite from the stasis.

Inoue’s sets, like his music, are equally captivating. His mix perfectly encapsulates the concept behind the series (every guest is given the same brief, to share with us the music they personally find therapeutic). His recording pieces together the sounds of gongs, chimes, meditative incantations, gorgeous acoustic and electronic arrangements and other ethereal sounds. The whole mix is blanketed with field recordings and each track moves seamlessly into the next. As with his own production style, it intertwines the old and the new, featuring music from Sarah Davachi, Paul Giger, The Entourage Music and Theatre Ensemble, as well as Sydney’s own Santilli.
