City Pop シティポップ
Eight channels, pulled from vintage Japanese pressings. Streams continuously — pick one and leave it running.
“City Pop evangelist.”Chicago Reader
Ten years DJing, curating, and mixing Japanese City Pop — the disco, funk, jazz fusion, and pop that came out of Tokyo between 1979 and 1985. Played the way it was cut: vintage vinyl, original pressings.
One of the first DJs anywhere to specialize in the genre. Since then, a hundred-plus events across three continents, official remixes for Japanese labels, and a seat on the board of the Japanese Arts Foundation.
Sets run two to four hours, all vinyl, tuned to the room.
