For this month's show we decided to dedicate the full two hours to tracks exclusively from Japanese artists. The first 45 is a meandering journey through ambient, soft piano chords, dub and Japanese pop, before Lou jumps in and shares her soft spot for Japanese animation movies and anime, highlighting the musical diversity that comes through in their soundtracks. It's a lesson in itself! For the final 30 Lou lets loose and explores more percussive club sounds, breaks and footwork.

Malom hits the box for the latest Soft Spots, showing off his love for reggae and roots. Pure sunshine music to close out the summer or to brighten up a rainy day. Seb then finishes with a nice mix of house groovers. I do the warm up with some 100bpm chug & dub. It's a lovely show, filled with good vibes and tons of different styles of music - exactly what soft spots is all about :)

For the latest Softs Spots show we welcome the lovely @adren_alina to the studio, whilst visiting from Berlin. She runs the wicked @smoovemoceanrec label along with her partner @atree-music. Alina shared a soft spot focusing on some of her favourite female artists from the late 80s and 90s. Expect synth fused house, funk pumpers and plenty of interesting stories behind her selection. Super happy to have her in the studio, she is a cracking DJ with impeccable taste!

Very happy to have @atree-music joining me in the studio for this month's show. For his soft spot, he dives into the musical world of iconic German producer Torsten Fenslau, of Culture Beat fame, sharing tons of somewhat timeless tracks from the 80s and beyond. Enjooooy.

Last month i had the pleasure of visiting Bas at Amplitude to record the latest Soft Spots episode. Shows like this make it all worthwhile for me - shining a light on a lovely human and a fantastic record shop that fuels the music we love. Enjoy two hours of good chat and real smooth tunes.
