醗酵食品 Jams mix by miked @ Dublab
(Carmen Maki 7″ “Even if I die” – Words by Terayama Shuji)
日本語は下にあります
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.

日本語版
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。
なぜこのミックスに醗酵食品の名前を付けたかというのは、日本の料理のソウルは発酵したもの (ハートはやっぱりお米と大豆）だと思っていますので 、この臭い、暗い、汚い、時間のかかる（・・・言い過ぎだけど）でもうまい！醗酵食品を作る気持ちでこのミックスを作りました。普段はレコードでミックスを使っているので、今回初めてCDJの機械を使って、ちょっとめちゃくちゃ感がありますので。。。すいません
ミックスはここ＄＄＄

Andy Votel – A Bird On The Head Is Worth Six In The Hand – Dublab mix
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.)
***re-posting some mixes I put up before using a blog format**
Kutmah – From LA with Love
A tasty mixed sampler from Art Don’t Sleep’s From LA With Love release. Mixed by Kutmah and Take originally aired and still available on the highly recommended Dublab podcast. It’s things like this that feed my increasingly aching homesickness…Thank you LA.
Ranking Joe & Echodelic Soundsystem @ Dublab
Given that Dublab has been with us for over 10 years now and are holding their annual pledge drive I thought I’d continue on the Dublab tip for a bit. If you haven’t heard of Dublab yet I REALLY REALLY suggest you get yourself acquainted with em. They’ve got SO much going on… Once you become a listener, consider giving a “proton grant”.
As can be seen by the previous post, Dublab brings consistent greatness. This time a priceless set from Ranking Joe on the mic and Tom Chasteen on the turntables. BRILLIANT!
Here’s how Dublab explained it:
“We were thrilled to have the legendary dancehall deejay Ranking Joe come by dublab for another session. He was in town to perform at Dub Club’s New Years Eve sound explosion so the good Mr. Tom Chasteen of Echodelic Soundsystem brought him by the lab for an amazing session anchored by Echodelic’s heavy selections and dubs. So amazing!”
If you are in or around LA make sure to make your way over to the DUB CLUB home of the Echodelic Soundsystem.
ENJOY!
DJ レゲンドRanking JoeはLos Angelesにある素晴らしいレゲーイベントDUB CLUBにSpecial GuestのためにLAにきました。LAにいる間にDub ClubのEchodelic Soundsystemと一緒にDublabのスタジオでこのsetやりました。本当に気持ちいい楽しいdub musicばっかり！
Dublabというvirtual soundsystemまだ知らない方がいったら是非web siteにいって、いろいろ聞いてみてください〜 〜 また素晴らしいall genre soundsystemです！

DJ Nuts live on Dublab Radio
Once again, I have to thank the great people over at Dublab for consistently bringing beautiful sounds to the world – special thanks to Frosty. Whenever you just want some good music and vibes to go along with your day, be sure to tune in to DUBLAB radio. Of course, for this mix extra special thanks goes out to DJ Nuts for being down enough to not mind being further shared around the internet. DJ Nuts is truly an amazing dj with amazing records. This mix is actually from a couple years ago, but I’ve never tired of it and am finally putting it up here. I love this mix. Hope you all enjoy it and pass it along. We hope to be blessed with some more goodness from DJ Nuts in the future.
The mix took place at the Dublab studio while DJ Nuts, along with legendary percussionists Joao “Comanche” Parahyba (Trio Mocoto) and Ivan “Mamao” Conti (Azymuth), were in LA for the premiere of the film “Brasilintime“. The film put together hip hop artists and Brasilian musicians to make some magic (see some video clips below). The mix by DJ Nuts is a sweetly mixed adventure through some rare Brasilian vinyl. PLEASE ENJOY.

Thank you again DJ Nuts & Dublab.
このmixはDublabのpodcastからきました。Dublabのボスが昔からの友達ので、盗むのは大丈夫です ：） ありがとうFROSTY!
今回はBrasilのdj champion DJ Nutsというdjが自分のレコードlibraryからの珍しいBrasilianレコードをめっちゃスムーズにライブmix作りました。BRASILINTIMEという映画のロードショーのためにLos Angelesにきて、Dublab studioでinterviewとこのmixをやりました。 BrasilintimeはBrasilの有名なパーカショニストーとhip hop djとアメリカの有名hip hop artists(Madlib, J Dilla, Cut Chemist, Egon etc.)を集めてライブ作りましたのドキュメンタリーです。
DJ Nutsにもありがとう！！

Frosty’s Bollywood Blast
**This is being reposted just because it’s such a great mix, and because I found a new photo to go with it**
If you take away nothing else from “oursoundtracks” take away this AMAZING blend of curry and spices brought to you by the Godfather, the Don, behind the amazing future roots space station that is DUBLAB. I HIGHLY recommend you also stay in tune with this wonderful inspiring project complete with hand selected streaming audio and podcasts..This mix, for example, is straight from the Dublab podcast. Thank you dublab.
In late 2006 frosty jumped to India in search of adventure and sound. He found both at Haji Ebrahim’s Radio Repair & Record Shop hidden deep in Bombay’s Null Bazaar. From mountains of mysterious wax frosty unearthed some spectacularly funky, exotic gems. Listen to this Bollywood Blast and dive deep into eastern energy.
