Southpaw Chop – Save The Vinyl mix
We stay in Japan for our next guest mix, returning to Takeshi Records for the occasion. You might remember the label from a series of free mp3s we posted last year from their Powerful Beacon releases. This time round we've got a guest mix from Southpaw Chop, an artist that works with the label and is about to release his 'Never Stop Sampling' EP on his own label, Southpaw Chop Music Production. Southpaw Chop is a long-standing member, as a DJ and producer, of the Tokyo hip hop scene, building his skills and reputation since the turn of the century and ...
SE2 week 2 – DJ Duct live @ Star Pines cafe
We continue our Rhythm Incursions and Turntable Radio Japan special with week 2 of exclusive audio from Ken One's Skratch Evolution 2 event, held in Kichijoji, Tokyo in December 09. If you missed part 1 check it here. This week we have DJ Duct on Rhythm Incursions, and Naoki over at Turntable Radio. Full schedule for the special, which runs over 4 weeks, is at the bottom of the post. DJ Duct is a Tokyo turntablist and producer who I first came across a few years ago thanks to Waxfactor and our common obsession with underground Japanese music. When I ...
DDay One – In Session no.8 ‘Think and Grow Rich’
We return to Los Angeles for the first show of the year hosted by our man DDay One. In fine style he's bringing you fresh sounds arranged around a theme taken from a best-selling book by Napoleon Hill. I'll let him explain it all... This session is along the lines of the Blend Meditation mixes in that the music was specifically chosen to create an atmosphere that motivates the listener. This time it’s a tribute to the Great Depression era bestselling book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. Blended in between classic breaks, atmospheric pulses and world premieres are brief ...
SE2 week 1 – Ichiro_ live @ Star Pines cafe
As mentioned a few weeks back we're starting a series of weekly podcasts, lasting a month, featuring exclusive live audio from Ken One's recent 'Skratch Evolution 2' event. Held at Kichijoji's Star Pines cafe, this musical evening featured a rather interesting mix of Tokyo's underground music scenes with scratch DJs, producers and MCs coming together for a series of live showcases alongside some live painting. This was Ken's second such event, up a notch from the first which was a more scratch-centered affair. These podcasts also form the first joint Rhythm Incursions and Turntable Radio series, something I've been wanting ...

LV – Aural Winter Blanket
Our second guest mix of the year comes courtesy of a London-based trio little of which is known apart from the most important thing – their music is good. LV is the name, and I first heard of them a few years back when Steve Goodman aka Kode 9 released a track of theirs (afaik their first release) on his Hyperdub label. A sweet, dub-tinged ballad...
