I feel like I say  this every post, but it has been a real long time since posting anything up here.  Once again have been moving (still in Nagano, but moved into a house. yay.)  and a million other things.  Hope to have more stuff coming your way soon, but I’m making no promises. 

Writing stuff in two languages for the mixes is usually what takes the most amount of time, so this next mix is perfect for this season of little free time.

I don’t have so much to say about this mix other than it is really really good.  I’ve listened to it a ton and love it. A super super nice fellow from Australia, Will, I randomly met at an outdoor electronic music festival here in Japan made good on his promise to keep in touch and sent along this mix as a recommendation for the site.  It’s actually from a friend of his and this is the message Will sent along with the mix:

Here is a mix by my friend Glenn. He describes it as being Surf/Amazon/Zombie music. It is quite entertaining. Purpose wise it sums up some of the shenanigans that have occurred around at his place over the last few months.

It’s a lovely mix of underground Surf/Rockabilly/Tv/Country…HIGHLY recommend for those of you who love obscure sounding underground gems.  Not my area of expertise here, so I’m not quite sure how rare or not these tracks are..but they are outstanding none the less.

最近また引っ越しとかいろいろあって、このサイトを全然いじるチャンスがなくって、ひさしぶりなアップデートになったんです。これからも頑張ります～

今回のミックスは今年のLabyrinthというフェスタで出会ったオーストラリア人からのミックスです。　彼の友達が作ったミックスだそうです。　私このミックスを何回も聞いたんだけど、まだまだいけそう。　とってもとっても面白っくて、私のタイプばっちり！ミックスを作った本人がSurf/Amazon/Zombie musicって説明したらし。。。そのとおり、変なRockabilly, Surf,Tv, and Country… 

ぜひぜひきいてみてください！！！

Silent Servant mix from a while back

a lowkey nodding mix of some classic minimal goodies (basic channel/chain reaction/maurizio etc..)   No play list, sorry…   This mix wasn’t made for Oursoundtracks, but I think this is the only place you’ll find it.  Was passed over to me maybe about 4 or 5 years ago, not sure when it was recorded though (Uh..right, as it says on the mp3 title, was recorded in April 07).  Enjoy and spread the word!

４年前もらったSilent Servantミックスです〜〜　Oursoundtracksのために作られたミックスではないけど、ここでしか聴けないと思います!  曲名はないけど、Basic Channel, Chain Reaction, Maurizio など、ミニマルな美味しさたっぷり〜〜

Dub Smokin was a great monthly event I used to play at while living in Tokyo.  The event got started before I came along, but I was later asked to become a regular dj for the evening.  The event was held every 4th Saturday at one of my all-time favorite reggae spots that was in Shibuya – Roots Tank.  To our dismay, Roots Tank was closed a couple years back and that eventually brought an end to this event as well.  The place was a relatively low-pro gem of Jamaican gettaway.  Great atmosphere on the 4th floor, LOUD system till morning, cheap drinks, usually no entrance fee, and an overall “anything goes” mentality made the place home to many a lawless night of fun.

I really wanted to get a few mixes from the regulars of the event, especially the organizer and dear friend Nametake, but for various reasons no one has pulled through thus far.  I was lucky enough, however, to get a super solid mix coming from Tetsu-san, who joined the event the last few times before Roots Tank closed; though his record collection outshines all of those whose names are on the flier ; )

We usually all played 2 45min to an hour sets.  I intended to make two mixes for this tribute, but have so far had only time for this one.  This mix represents what I might play towards the latter half of the morning, when peoples heads and feet have gotten a bit heavier.  The mix I still haven’t made yet would be more upbeat, perhaps with some  funk thrown in etc… So don’t get the impression that the evening was always this heavy.  This mix is basically heavy after heavy.  The beats are heavy and the lyrics are heavy.  Heavy on Rasta/Black liberation (to Zion).  I LOVE every track on here.

(Side note:  One of my American friends that I sent this mix to in the past once said “love the mix, but what the hell is that “nigger” track??”   Yes, there is a dub version of the song called “Every Nigger is a Star”.  Yes, there are songs about being black and black liberation.  Yes, I am as white as they come.  I make no claims to understand what it is like to be black and in no way consider myself to be an “honorary brother” of any kind.  I am also, obviously, not a Rastafarian.  All I can say is that this music, musically/lyrically/production-wise, moves my soul.  I only aim to share music that I love and that moves me, in hopes that it does the same to you.  I would be a greatly saddened if I ever offended anyone in the process.)

Tetsu’s mix is an excellent mix of 80s Roots original 12″s.  As I’ve mentioned before on two other posts from Testu (see: Wackie’s Origingal 45s Vol. I & Vol. II), the man has an insane record collection…a handful of some of his treasures would definitely be worth more than most of my entire collection.  In this mix you can enjoy the reggae 12″ single style of the original version followed by either the “DJ” version (where a “dj” mc’s over a dub of the original track) or a “dub version” of the original.  Dub, in case you may not know, was the product of the producer taking out most or all of the vocal tracks, messing with the all the other tracks and adding delay etc…to create a bugged out instrumental version of the original track.  The “DJ” style basically grew out of actual mcs at soundsystem parties mc-ing live over these dubs.  This was a hit at the dance parties and was then recorded in the studio.  To see some original dub production in action check out one of the masters at work HERE.

今回のミックスはRoots TankとDub Smokinの思い出ミックス〜〜

閉店する前に渋谷にあったRoots Tankは本当に最高に楽しいレゲーバーでした。音がでかくって、マスター達がスーパーいい人達、朝までやっていて、なんでもありな感じでいつでもアットホームな気分でした。閉店したら、言葉にならないぐらい残念でした。Dub SmokinはNametake-sanがproduceした月一回イベントでした。イベントが始まってから半年から一年後に私がregular djとして誘われて、一年間ちかくdjやりました。本当に本当に楽しいイベントでした！　音楽のテーマがちょっとHeavyな感じ、dj達が皆楽しいKiller selectionを持ってきてくれたし。。。そうして、よく来てくれたあたたかいお客さんもいっぱいいたので。。。本当にいい思い出になりました！　皆にありがとう！

今回、Dub SmokinのDJ達にみんなにミックスを頼んだだけど、それぞれみんなが忙しくって、なかなかミックスを作る時間がないので、今回は私とTetsu-sanのミックスしかないけど。。。未来にもしかしたらCAPTAIN Nametake-sanのミックスが出来上がるかもしらないので、その時にまたアップします〜〜

私からのミックスは本当に重い感じで、夜遅い時間にかけるようなミックスで。。。Heavy Heavy Sounds… でも、Dub Smokinはいつもこんなに重いイベントではなかった全然。逆にだいたいいつもかなり盛り上がっていた。もしCaptain Nameのミックスが届いたら、その時に僕のDub Smokin “元気 version”のミックスを作りますので〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

そうして、Tetsu-sanのミックスは80s Roots Original 12” mix です！　最高！　Tetsu-sanはRoots Tank閉店の少し前にDub Smokin regular djとして参加してくれたけど、Record collector的にキングでした。Tetsu-sanはよくテーマがあるセットを持ってきてくれて、こういう風に勉強になるミックスばっかりでした。過去にoursoundtracksにアップしたのOriginal Wackies Vol. I and Vol. IIもそうでした。是非きいてみてください！！

Cytrax Mix Tape – by J Mendez

(All photos, videos, and music, by Nick Everett)

I first became aware of Unconventional Science, Nick Everett, (producer, dj, and vinyl collector “from” LA ) in India by coming across the fact that he was selling some hot records from India that he was digging first hand and shipping back to LA.  Being utterly financially unable to buy much myself, I instead wrote asking if he might not mind doing a mix for a stranger with a humble little website.  And within a few weeks here we are  with some INCREDIBLE, and presumably largely unexplored jams/gems from Southern India.  I have been truly LOVING this mix lately….super excited to share it.

I asked the man himself a few questions about Unconventional Science and the mix below:

So what brings Unconventional Science to India?    How long will you be staying?  Was your purpose vinyl?

大学のためにNaga Rock and Rollを研究中です。一年間いるつもり、来年の一月でビザが終わっちゃうので。目的はインドの音楽を探索して、新しいサウンドを発見することでした。この旅の魂を象る物質が、レコードというわけです。 しかし、旅に完璧にはまちゃって、できるだけ長く旅を延ばしていきたいと思います。

You’ve obviously been active as a DJ and producer for while.  Were you a heavy crate digger before coming to India?

DJなど長くやっていましたが、インドにくる前もレコードハンターでした？

Yea absolutely.  I used to DJ on the patio at Funky Sole which always provoked me to keep a diverse crate of records.  I’ve been into records since I was 14 which is 12 years ago now.  I wouldn’t say that I have the deepest crates but I definitely have a lot of choice cuts and work every day to expand that.  I love music and have pretty much dedicated my life to hip hop and vinyl so hopefully I can keep working to find a way to support myself on those things.

もちろん。ロスのFunky Sole（けっこう評判高い）というイベントで回していたので、けっこう深いクレート(コレクション)を集めなければならなかった。今２６歳で、１４歳からレコードを買い始めました。僕のコレクションが一番深いとは決して言えないけど、いいものであることは間違いない。そして、もっと深くて、幅広いコレクションにするために一生懸命頑張っています。僕が音楽が大好きで、ほぼ自分の人生をヒップホップやレコードに捧げたので、できればそれで食べていけるように努力しています。

What’s the overall digging experience in India?  Do places tend to know what they have or are you just finding stuff randomly?  Any crazy record stories?

インドでレコードを発掘するという経験はどういう感じですか？　レコード店自体は、いいものかだいたい分かっている？　

There are definitely some disgusting places to dig for records.  I had one attic I was going through that was full of all kinds of vermin.  All kind of records were eaten away by rats and cockroaches.  A few dudes here in Delhi really know their shit but most have a pretty skewed view of whats valuable.  Its always a battle with pricing but I’ve found a lot of really amazing stuff that Im super excited to bring back to the states.  Really looking forward to going down south in the next month to really dive in deep to the Kollywood record scene.

もちろん店にも行くけど、店だけじゃなくて、たまに本当に汚いところにもレコードを探しにいきます。あるとき、屋根裏部屋へ探しにいったんですが、ネズミとゴキブリだらけでした。レコードまで食べられていました。店の場合は、たまに何がいいか悪いのかがちゃんと分かっているオーナーがいるけど、その場合でも、価値に対する値段の付け方がおかしくて、 いつも値段のことで交渉しなきゃいけないけど・・・。今月南インドに行ってKollywoodのレコードシーンにどっぷりつかるのを本当に楽しみにしています。

Finally, a synopsis of the mix you’ve laid down for Oursoundtracks:

　

最後は、oursoundtracksに作ってくれたミックスの説明お願いします：

This is a compilation of south Indian 7″ records from the late 70s and early 80s, specifically  - 1979-1983 in Tamil Nadu. India’s modern music industry has almost always released music in the form of film soundtracks. It is for this reason that the music is so grandiose in nature. The Bollywood film industry was centered in Bombay, which is now named Mumbai, but there were other lesser known industries in Pujab, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Orissa, and more. Most notable of these were the films from the south centered in Madras which is now known as Chennai. They called it Kollywood, this was because of the Kodambakkam neighborhood which served as the center of the film industry of the south. The music is loose and energetic but is also laced with South Indian classical music which added a beautiful depth to the songs. The results were often loud drum machines, low fidelity synths, strings, flutes, and other funky elements put it for good measure. It feels like Bollywood without the kitsch. The epic nature of the compositions remain but the sound is much more raw. The stripped down garage studio sound is juxtaposed by funky arrangements for 20 piece ensembles is a wonderful aesthetic. The sounds are a fusion of musical styles rather than the one after another style found in most bollywood arrangements. This adds a much more consistent tone to the songs and leads to more organic sounding songs. These are a few records from this genre I found in an attic in Delhi. Not sure how rare they are but the music of South India is still largely unexplored. Get down to the funky traditional sound of Kollywood!　

このミックスは南インド７０年代後半や８０年代前半の４５版ミックスです。インドの現代音楽はほとんど映画のサウンド・トラックの形で作られています。だからインドの音楽は自然と大掛かりなものになります。現在の地名はムンバイですが、主にインドの映画はボンベイという場所で製作されているので Bollywood（もちろんハリウッドにちなんで）と呼ばれています。ほとんどインド音楽が好きな人々はそこがメインと思っていますが、実はもっと知られていない小さな規模で製作されていたインド映画もあり、例えばパジャブ、ウェストベンガル、ラジャスタン、オリッサなどなど・・・。その中で最も興行を成功させていたのが、南インドのマドラスでした（現在：Chennai）。その映画製作の中心地がKodambakkam という場所だった為、それはKollywoodと呼ばれています。その音楽は、インド映画音楽らしく大げさでエネルギーに溢れていますが、それとともに南インドのクラシック音楽も織り込まれている為、美しい深みが加わっています。うるさいドラムマシーン、程度の悪いシンセサウンド、弦、管と・・・ちょっとおかしないろいろな物を念の為に入れる、という感じ。Bollywoodーキッチュ＝Kollywoodといえば早いだろうか？壮大な曲の構成は残っているものの、音のクオリティはかなり低い。そのクオリティの低い、ガレージのようなスタジオで作り出される音はしかし、ビッグオーケストラが奏でるファンキーなアレンジと相まって非常に素晴らしい。このジャンルの数枚のレコードを、デリの屋根裏部屋で見つけました。これらがどれくらい貴重なものなのかはよくわからないが、南インドの音楽は未だにほとんど発見されていません。このファンキーな、そして伝統的なKollywoodサウンドを是非楽しんで！！

Here are a couple new gems from a good friend and Tokyo record collector Mochi. We had the pleasure of playing many a night together at Simokita’s DRUM SONG.  Mochi is another guy who always brings a huge box of all original 7″s to the table. Each record costing anywhere from 30 to a couple hundred $$$ Dont know how these guys do it, but I’m sure glad they can. Have a listen and you’ll see why.

Mochi brings us two mixes from his treasure chest of nothing but original Jamaican vinyl. Some delicious old rocksteady and some upbeat ska oldies. Some classics and some rarities!  Download, leave a comment, tell a friend, and Enjoy!

THANK YOU MOCHI!!

As I mentioned on the Asakawa Maki post, when I was back home in LA in December I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to record a couple sets at the Dublab studios.

This set, unlike the Asakawa Maki set, was mainly on CDs and relatively void of forethought.  Also, this was my first time ever trying to use CDj machines, definitely threw me off…songs starting when they shouldn’t, general mood of panic – basically, flying by the seat of my cosmic pants…But hey, no better place to close our eyes and use the force of our cosmic pants than dublab!   At any rate, I just wanted to give a sampling of Japanese music that I’ve really been into  over the years since being here in Japan.  Before and since coming to Japan, the world of Japanese music has been a relatively tough shell to crack.   Of course there are some standard greats like all the Group Sounds stuff of the 60s, Fuzzed out craziness in the 70s (Raillez etc..), Boredoms, Cornelius etc. in the 90s and 00s, but at the same time you can often be quite hard pressed to find stuff that isn’t just crap or nice try, but that was already done before… Of course, the internet has changed the game enormously in recent years, but it took me years before I didn’t feel like finding a truly great Japanese artist was like finding a needle in haystack; or maybe I’m just getting used to needle hunting.

It also can be an extremely tough task to stay objective and distinguish between the truly great and the mediocre that just sounds good because a) you haven’t been able to find much else or b) because I’m more immersed in the culture than those who don’t live here and therefore like inexplicable/untranslatable things about.  Who knows.  You can be the judge.

Getting back to the task at hand.  In this mix I have tried to put together a mix where the audio-aesthetics would be for the most part agreeable to the pallets of lovers of odd music goodness and dublab listeners of course.  The first third of the mix is on vinyl the rest on cds.  It begins with some earlier traditional and early folk music numbers and works it’s way in out of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s… The title of the mix “Hakkoushokuhin” means “fermented foods”.  Fermentation is basically the soul of Japanese food (the heart being rice and soy beans).  Sake/Shochu, soy sauce, miso, natto, tsukemono to name a few.  In the same smelly, dark, and grimy spirit of this fermentation that makes Japanese food what it is and the people who they are I made this mix. (Yes, I’m being purposely ridiculous.)  There is still so much more I wanted to play, hopefully I’ll get around to it someday.  Till then,

Let’s eat.

Grab the mix here$$$

このミックスはこの間アメリカに帰っていた時にDUBLABスタジオで作りました。僕が好きな曲や日本人じゃない方にも伝えられる曲をかけてみました。日本に住んでもう七年過ぎていますけど、いい日本の音楽を探すのは本当に時間かかりました。都会にいないと、面白い音楽が好きとか、詳しい人に出会うのは、何年かけても出会わない可能性が普通〜にある！東京に三年間住んで本当によかった〜はは。　ま、それはそれで、外人にとって日本の音楽とふれあい始めると色んな問題が出てくる；特にちょっとマニアックだとしたら。

This one’s just a pass-along from Dublab.  One of the more super great mixes I’ve been really enjoying lately.  Dig it all, but’ve never heard any of it before.  The man has records. Definitely intergalactic.

–From Dublab

We proudly present another masterfully stitched together string of deep gems from the one and only man of a million mystic sounds, Andy Votel. Prior to recording this mix Mr. Votel conjured a flock of ravens to scour the globe for lost musical artifacts with which to brew his sonic spell. As you fall under the hypnotic radiance of this mix click your way into the world ofFinders Keepers and you will be forever set adrift in a zone of musical awe. (The above photo was snapped by the equally far-out Godsy.)
