The spectacular sound of Shibuya Kei

 

 

During the early 90s a particular musical genre emerged from Shibuya, a very very musical district of Tokyo. Called Shibuya Kei, the genre in question fused lounge sounds,Electronics, Brit Pop beats, film music with a very jaunty attitude that winked at the pop culture of the 60s.

With this Mixtape I wanted to remember that particular historical moment and that kind of sound that are now almost  forgotten.
