This mix pulls together a wide range of material from Japan’s underground between the 1980s and 1990s and focuses on lesser-known and largely forgotten corners of its music scenes across two decades. Pulled from cassettes, privately pressed LPs, demos and worn flexi-discs, the mix moves mostly through DIY avant-garde music and things that don’t really fit anywhere at all. 
 
It’s the sound‑scape of neon‑lit backstreets, late‑night imagination and hidden creativity. A celebration of Japan’s unsung pioneers who never rose to fame yet left indelible imprints in tape loops and DIY pressings. The title refers to that space just out of view, beyond what was documented or preserved, music made outside the spotlight but still full of intention and invention.
 
You’ll hear work from artists like Silent Pulse, Be-2, Normal Brain, K. Yoshimatu, Ayuo Takahashi, and Chance Operation, alongside anonymous or pseudonymous projects like The Husband, Speaking Furniture, and Flare. Some pieces are meditative and sparse, others more chaotic and intense, but all sit just outside of easy categorisation. 
 
The black-and-white cutout of the artists in the artwork captures Peters - also known as The Peaters - a duo formed in Osaka in 1985 by Peter Hayashi and Chaka Kajiyama. Their off-kilter synth pop mirrored the British wave of the era, but filtered through a warped lens all of their own.
 
There’s no attempt at chronology in this mix, more of a drift through mood and texture. Tracks fold into each other, fragments blur, and the medium itself (tape hiss, distortion, decay) becomes part of the atmosphere.

Tracklist can be found on the NTS archive.

Love Injection with Barbie and Paul @ The Lot Radio 08-23-2025

Good news! Pacific Spirit episodes may be getting fewer and further in-between, but the vibes are as high as ever. Episode 94 comes courtesy of LA’s Jamma-Dee, an old friend who’s been in the mix for ages and played parties for us as far back as 2015.

The mix he’s prepared for us is described as a “summer-forward bounce and groove from the underground crates, 70 min of all wax from the chamber of Jamm”. 

It’s the perfect pairing to these dog days of summer. Enjoy the vibes!
