Toshio Matsuura | A Pre-Valentine's Celebration with Champagne This Weekend!

Toshio Matsuura | From TOKYO MOON, Airing February 5th!

This Weekend: An Early Valentine's Day with Champagne!

Sunday nights, a moment of pure bliss for adults, where time flows leisurely with exquisite music. Enhancing such moments is the radio program『TOKYO MOON』by DJ Toshio Matsuura.──He selects and presents wonderful music from around the world, along with topics that stimulate intellectual curiosity for adults, every Sunday from 7 PM on Inter FM 76.1MHz. Here, we look back at the program that just aired each week. This week, set to a collection of exceptionally edgy tracks, we introduced a glamorous event taking place this weekend.

A 30-Minute Cool Sound Journey

This week too, we introduced a selection of tracks from some truly unique artists. Including the advance single "Afro Blue" by Robert Glasper Experiment, whose album『Black Radio』is set for a Japan-exclusive release on the 22nd of this month, along with new works from the reclusive female bassist Me'Shell Ndegeocello, and the British instrumental quartet Portico Quartet who continue to create cinematic jazz, I believe it was a 30-minute sound journey that was cooler than ever.

Me'shell Ndegeocello 『Weather』

Portico Quartet 『Same』

Robert Glasper Experiment 『Black Radio』

Lemy Leopard 『S.A.F.A.R.I EP』
