In this first genre-specific episode of Tokyo Chill we're checking out Japanese ambient in all its forms, from the slowly-evolving arctic soundscapes of Susumu Yokota and understated psybient compositions of Hybrid Leisureland to Sawako's innovative electro-acoustic field recordings and Opitope's soothing and nostalgic piano-based atmospheres.

Whether you've returned to work & are seeking a moment of quiet contemplation to reflect upon what this new year promises, or you've been going for it since Hogmanay and the only thing left on the menu is headphones & bed, this show is for you.
