A Colorful 30 Minutes for Music Lovers
The opening of this episode featured "I Recall," a mellow AOR/jazz-funk number by Andre Solomko, saxophonist and leader of the jazz/fusion band Vinyl Jam from Helsinki, Finland.
Next, from Sound Signature, the label run by Theo Parrish, who is scheduled to perform in Japan in November, we featured a highly anticipated track by emerging Ghanaian artist Andrew Ashong, who collaborated with Theo. This song is supported by fans of soul, hip-hop, and folk music alike, transcending genres.

Chasing Kurt "In The Air"

Kindness "Gee Up Remix"

PBR Streetgang "Double Boogie EP"

V.A. "Sam Records Extended Play 1"
In the middle part of the program, we played soulful deep house by the trio Chasing Kurt, from Giessen, a town near Frankfurt, Germany. We also featured a track by Kindness, the project of British artist Adam Bainbridge, who made his first visit to Japan this summer. The selection included Erol Alkan's extended rework of "Gee Up," which has been transformed into a powerful disco-rock anthem, reflecting my current mood.
Additionally, the 30 minutes included disco hits from the 70s and lovers rock, making it a colorful program.
