Today’s mix comes from DJ Funky Daitouryou and DJ Hysa, from the Music Bar 301 in the southern Japanese city of Okayama. In part one of their special two part mix for K.O.L. Radio, they’ve gone back to the 1990s to share some club tunes from both the UK scene, including remixes of Sade and HustlersHC , and also some classic US soul remixes of Marlena Shaw and Pharoah Sanders. A nostalgic trip back to the 1990s DJ culture!
In today's mix, music industry veteran Ken Hidaka brings us a selection of Japanese Ambient, New Age and Environmental tracks. We’ll hear from Seigen Ono, engineer, producer, composer and founder of Saidera Records, go back to the 90s subculture scene in Japan with music from Yan Tomita and Hiroshi Fujiwara, and to the new wave sounds of the group Anzen Chitai. This is a deep look into a part of the Japanese music scene fairly unknown outside the country, by DJ, producer and writer Ken Hidaka.
