Mix 9. Panorama Heaven (Walearic Japan – Vol. 1)

The dream continues…coming in next, but arguably first in its conception, is my mix for Radio Jiro on NTS. In this mix I’ll continue to flesh out this esoteric idea of Walearic music. As mentioned in my previous Walearic mix, it’s a conceptual genre of Japanese music looking beyond strict influence from western Pop music and turning it’s eye instead towards world music for inspiration.

In this mix I show two spheres of influences — one African, the other Caribbean. What’s in store? Polyrhythmic, Afro-Pop-tinged music that sails through echo-laden, dubbed-out Japanese Art Pop. A treat to make, here’s hoping you go out there and take it even further. A huge thanks to Jiro for supplying me with a space for this mix to live and the sweet graphic above. Also, personal, inspirational thanks goes to the brilliant Yukako Hayase whose music has served as a guiding light beaming forth such an idea…
