Can’t stop listening to this comforting mix of vintage Japanese soul sounds from the Tokyo-born, London-based DJ and artist Kengo for the esteemed vinyl DJ set platform My Analog Journal
“I’m excited to share some of my Japanese records with you. I’ve chosen records loosely based around the genre of what we call in Japan “light mellow” which pre-dates City-Pop’s more synth-driven sounds .” – Kengo
