A pioneer in the distinctly Japanese sonics of "environmental" sound design, composer Takashi Kokubo began his solo career in the early 1980s, making synthesizer compositions inspired by classical music in the vein of fellow Japanese composer Isao Tomita, but across the following decades, his productions would pay deep homage to the sounds of the natural world and its spiritually soothing properties – as both inspiration for his music, and as a prominent feature in the music itself.

In an era of everything at once, Gabrielle Kwarteng is a DJ who weaves stories that often look to the past, while always focusing on possible futures. Dip in to hear a range of dance music from downtempo to deep house to techno rollers - and everything in between.

The Bas Lexter Ensample

The Bas Lexter Ensample

The Bas Lexter Ensample has been played on NTS shows including Black Impulse, with B-Bwoylogy first played on 20 October 2012.

Bas Lexter himself has the Jazz, loves the Big Band feeling, is sometimes funky, sometimes Caribbean, most times black and sometimes white, but always aware of keeping his old school flavour. Bas Lexter slips into the different roles and egos of the 5-6 band protagonists à la Lenny Kravitz and has the talent to become one of these renowned, rare and special names out there.

In music-lover circles his project has already gained a lot of appreciation. Though Bas Lexter is a ‘shy cat’, he was discovered by Nokia France and managed to be released on different 12” vinyls (Resense/Yo Mama/Universal). Beyond that, productions for Ganesha & Ragga D, but also for Asher D./Music of Life are part of the activities of this multitalented artist.

It is not always easy to name or even to categorize a sound. The Bas Lexter Ensample has a unique style for sure, an unbelievable setup of samples and vinylistic atmospheres, being touched by and mixed up with a lot of different kinds of styles, variations and genres.
