Compiled by Dubby & Antal, Techno Kayō Volume One is a dancefloor-friendly selection focusing on Japanese proto-techno, electro-pop, and synthpop from the 1980s. Note: This release is only available on physical format (CD & Vinyl) / no downloads will be available.

In late-1970s Japan, a new and unique “genre” called techno kayō emerged, blending catchy pop melodies with the futuristic sounds of synthesizers and drum machines. Rooted in the older kayōkyoku style, it was influenced by European electronic acts like Kraftwerk, but had a distinctly Japanese flair. Artists such as Yellow Magic Orchestra pioneered this retro-futuristic sound, creating music that felt both nostalgic and ahead of its time.

Dubby, owner of the legendary record shop Ondas in Tokyo, was one of the first to make Japanese music available to the outside world. He has teamed up with Antal, co-founder of the Amsterdam-based, Rush Hour Records, to release the first in a series of compilations.

bitowa is @kor-one 's modern electronic music project from Okinawa.
This project was born from the fact that I started making techno while producing music for https://soundcloud.com/angama. Until then, the characteristic of the music under the name KOR-ONE was lo-fi hip-hop based on sampling from analog records, but with ANGAMA, I tried to produce space-like sounds using only synthesizers. This experience opened the door to my new sensibility and led me to a further musical journey. Shortly thereafter, during the pandemic, bitowa's music began to be born by combining various equipment in my bedroom every night in pursuit of my own original techno sound. 
bitowa's music is still produced spontaneously and as my sensibility dictates. Please listen to the songs that are constantly released.

このプロジェクトが生まれたのは、ANGAMAの音楽を制作する中でテクノを作り始めたことに由来する。それまでKOR-ONE名義の音楽の特徴は、アナログレコードからのサンプリングを軸としたローファイヒップホップだったが、ANGAMAではシンセサイザーのみを使って宇宙的なサウンドをプロデュースする試みを行っていた。この経験が新しい感性の扉を開き、さらなる音楽の旅へと向かわせることとなった。その後程なくして、パンデミックが蔓延する間、ベッドルームで夜な夜な様々な機材を組み合わせ、自分自身のオリジナルなテクノサウンドを追求することで、bitowaの音楽が生まれ始めた。その音楽は未だ自然発火的に感性の赴くまま生み出されている。

Beginner hardstyle/hardcore/JCore VRDJ dabbling in industrial hardcore and uptempo.

Since 1997 Rush Hour has cultivated itself into a haven for music lovers worldwide. The reputation Rush Hour has built mainly comes from the fact that first and foremost Rush Hour focuses on music they totally believe in and have a love for. The Rush Hour family has a strong sense of pride in always working with and feeding off that impulse and faith, rather than working for the mighty dollar or bottom line. Rush Hour has always been this way.
