NTS Guide to: Japanese New Age and Environmental Music

Sounds of stillness and peace from the Japanese "kankyō ongaku" movement - environmental and ambient recordings, produced as a reaction to the growing hyper-commercialisation and urbanisation of 1980s Japan.

In Focus: Roxy Music

Through continual splits, reformations, and shedding key band members, the brain child of Roxy Music was always Bryan Ferry. Imbuing the project with an art-school sensibility, Ferry's lyrics were arch, world weary and romantic, and the music was glamorous and lush at a time when UK rock music was often bloated and terribly unhip. Mixed by 150 Session

Vaporwave Boogie Beats

Ira demonstrates how to do extra soulful with a masterclass in vibes. It's easy when you know how.
