1980s Japan was a golden decade for music, with new genres arriving in technopop, Pacifica, AOR and especially, City Pop. This reissue sees a just out-of-school crew betting on the City Pop phenomenon with a concept album, recording ad hoc and getting THIS close before it all was lost... until now!

Beautiful Japanese-inspired ambient/environmental album from Argentinian producer Facundo Arena aka Kyoto Connection. A classically trained pianist, Arena experiments here with iPad plugins straight to tape on his 1978 Akai GXC-70D recorder. First time pressing since its 2018 release. Stunning!

Two monstrous, heavy hitting remixes of tracks from Soichi's 'Asakusa Light' by Swiss DJ/producer Alex Attias and Atlanta's live jazzy-house don Byron The Aquarius. Big hip shakers for the floor! TIP!

'Exit Strategies' puts Nash's layered guitar textures at centre stage, further demonstrating his ability to draw emotion from the simplest of elements. A glimmering mini LP of lush and spacious compositions, surrounded by Nash's own unique air and atmospheric touch. So beautiful!

Sergio Sayeg (aka Sessa) has always been entranced by what he calls “the mess” of music: the accidental, tortuous nature of it. While Sessa’s 2019 debut Grandeza explored the corporeal pleasures and gentle drunkenness of being in love, his new album, Estrela Acesa (which translates as Burning Star), gazes up to the heavens and ponders love, both sensuous and spiritual, in the throes of its resultant hangover. Gorgeous textural, rich folk and MBP (Brazillian popular music) for the breezy and softer days. Comes on stunning 'mermaid blue' vinyl!
