(AUDIO SNIPPET) KSMOOTH DA PROGRAMMA "AFTER THE PARTY" (INSTRUMENTAL) LOVE UNIVERSAL  LU002

Was recently in Chicago and had many record store adventures. One record that popped up in the cheap bins was something I'd been after, "Chicago Jazz Dance Revival at Gus Place" by the Johnny Frigo Quartet. Frigo and his various groups put out several records of "jazz dance music" for Gus Giordano in the late 60s and early 70s covering jazz, rock and funk tunes of the day. I've been slowly grabbing these albums over the years when I find them and figured now might be a moment to play a few selections on the podcast. Dig in!

D'Angelo Tribute (Live at Doka, Amsterdam 17-10-2025)

In the run-up to our Mr Bongo x Higo Beat Japan tour with DJ Nature we are shining a light on some of the incredible Japanese DJs we have joining us. 

miharu, a rising talent also based in Kyoto. As well as working behind the counter at Face Records, she’s regularly found playing across the city and broadcasting on the likes of Tsubaki fm. Her mix elegantly sweeps through a variety of Japanese sounds moving from celestial into more uptempo, touching on funk, cosmic, hip hop, jazz and beyond with a sprinkling of MPB in there for good measure.

Mr Bongo Record Club Guest Mix - miharu

To coincide with our Mr Bongo x Higo Beat Japan tour featuring DJ Nature we are shining a light on some of the incredible DJs Japan has to offer.

DJ KAWASAKI has been a key figure in Japan’s scene since the early 2000’s. With releases on Nite Grooves, Columbia, Especial and his own Kawasaki Records, he’s got an illustrious back catalogue as a producer and has toured around the globe as a DJ. He holds the record for having eight songs reach No.1 in the iTunes Dance chart in Japan. MAGNETiC is the disco and jazz event he runs with Shacho from Soil & ”Pimp” Sessions at The Room Shibuya, Tokyo. 

His mix is a showcase of flavours he’s been feeling recently, blending disco, jazz funk, house, broken beat and beyond, proving why he has been such a force for the past 20 years. In his own words, “I wanted to share my musical world through tracks I usually play, chosen based on my current vibe. I also included a preview of my upcoming release and tried to balance new and older tunes. Favorites include ‘Kowree Sambazzi’ by Kyoto Jazz Massive and Shuya Okino’s ‘Thank You’ (Danny Krivit 7” Edit). You can also hear my new tune ‘Sunshine Madness’ with Chien Chien Lu!”
