Radio Tokyo Volume 4 – Commercial Breaks | This episode of Radio Tokyo showcases some of the more leftfield Japanese artists past and present that I had in my collection. As ever, I don't present or narrate, but at the same time it's not just a straightforward mix. There's a real variety of genres, styles and BPM here, so I wove them together with some samples taken from retro Japanese TV commercials, and that's where the name and the theme of this episode comes from. Here's the playlist, enjoy: Playlist: I, Me, My, Mine - Polysics A11 A10ne - Buffalo Daughter LSD - Trippple Nippples Rocket - Polysics 4 Little Joeys Remix - Kiiiiii! I Wanna Be Sedated - Shonen Knife Twiggy Twiggy - Pizzicato Five Mogu Mogu - Chinza Dopeness Spam Keikoku - Shonen Knife Pajama Party Pop - Lullatone Sugar Water - Cibo Matto The Audrey Hepburn Complex (Billy Wilder Mix) - Pizzicato Five View all podcasts in the Radio Tokyo series and download this episode here. | 13 3 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Radio Tokyo Volume 3 – Late Summer | Summer is still very much with us here in Tokyo – it’s still hot and humid and free time is usually spent sitting in the park listening to music. You can however feel that Autumn might be on its way, so here is a new episode of Radio Tokyo to suit. I don’t really prefer any particular genre when it comes to music, but a phenomenon that pretty much sums up my summer of 2011 is the continued rise of throwback sub genres of U.S. indie synthpop, namely Glo-Fi and Chill Wave, Dream Pop amongst others. It seems like the rehash of the 80′s sound is set to continue and a few proponents of this mainly American sound seem to be channeling The Beach Boys (in a good way). This ties in pretty well with my summer because I’ve been getting more nostalgic in my hobbies and the way I dress and we’ve been playing a lot of old school video games in this ¥50 arcade in Shibuya. So without any further ado, click to listen below and check the playlist: Playlist: Despicable Dogs – Small Black Slow Peels – Com Truise Kim & Jessie – M83 Collapsing At Your Doorstep – Air France Stay Close – Delorean Burn Bridges – Dom Please Stay – Summer Heart Swimming Field – Memory Tapes You – Gold Panda David – The Radio Dept.

Radio Tokyo Volume 2 – Ode To Concrete | For the second in the Radio Tokyo series, we will be exploring soundscapes befitting the metropolis. Post-dubstep IDM with plenty of dark undertones and melancholic aural atmospheres in this decidedly city-centric episode ode to vacant plots, government housing projects and urban decay. Showcasing in Volume 2 will be mostly artists from Warp and Hyperdub imprints. Here’s the playlist: Forgive – Burial Digital Fauna – Zomby Out In The Streets – Africa Hitech Foil – Autechre Flat Of The Blade – Massive Attack Klavierwerke – James Blake 124 – Photek Midnight Request Line – Skream Spicy Sammich – Flying Lotus Gangslap – Africa Hitech View all podcasts in the Radio Tokyo series and download this episode here. | 22 8 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Radio Tokyo Volume 1 – Airspace | A little foray into the art of Podcasting here. The first in a series of radio broadcasts / mixes. This first one is something of an experiment. Haven’t gotten used to the software yet, so not as well made as I’d like, but still; this first episode takes an aeronautical theme, inspired by the airliners that pass over my house on their way to the newly opened international runway at Tokyo Haneda Airport. Playlist: Blue Calx – Aphex Twin Wing Body Wing – Four Tet Amo Bishop Roden – Boards of Canada Hilarious Movie of the 90′s – Four Tet Genshi – Susumu Yokota Circling – Four Tet Cocoon – Bjork Goodbye – Kevin Shields There is a Number of Small Things – Mum Pink Stones – Memory Tapes Z Twig – Aphex Twin Auto Pilot – Lusine icl View all podcasts in the Radio Tokyo series and download this episode here. | 2 8 11 | Free | View In iTunes |
