Japanese Jazz Week: Modal & Bop Special

This show is all about bop and modal jazz records hailing from Japan. Tune in as we spend two hours moving through piano heavy records from the late 60’s to early 80s by the likes of Ryo Fukui, Takehiro Honda, and Shintaro Quintet… 今回のエピソードは日本のモード・ジャズを特集。福居良、本田竹広、Shintaro Quintetらが奏でる、重厚なピアノのサウンドが特徴的な60年代から80年代初期の楽曲を中心にお届けします。Translated by Satoko Akune.

In Focus: Dillinja

A prolific & singular figure in jungle & drum and bass, Dillinja produced a body of work in the 1990s and 2000s that set a high water mark for club production finesse. Even now, most top producers in the genre are sure to have some secret weapon samples titled "Dillinja bass". DJ Persuasion and Dev/Null pull together two hours of his finest tracks, including anthems, rarities, well worn favourites and unreleased dubs on this In Focus.

Folk Soul Blues Spiritual Jazz

Mississippi Records is an independent archival record label that has been releasing music by totally original (and as a result, often overlooked) artists for nearly 20 years. The label is dedicated to working directly with artists and their families, securing their legal rights, and creating equitable documents of their work to share with the world.

Mississippi works across genres, regions, and timelines. The music we’re drawn to is often created outside of existing commercial industries. It’s the work of visionary artists with something urgent and original to say. And it’s sustained by, and in turn nourishes, communities that extend beyond the music. We recognize this brilliant music is not created in a vacuum, and we’re dedicated to understanding and uplifting the stories around the art.
