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.

Storie di Assalti Frontali

 

This mixtape is intended as a tribute to the career of Assalti Frontali, the longest-running and, in my opinion, brilliant Italian rap group. Always on the piece, an example of coherence and presence on a social level. Anti-authoritarian, anti-racist and with a strong attitude to social solidarity, Assalti Frontali is a crew that, thirty years after its birth, still manages to warm hearts and sensitize listeners on the surrounding reality. After so many years of activity, the charge of energy released by this group led by Militant A remains intact, the narrative remains clear and I am very glad about this.

How soul music can save your life in the age of virus

In these difficult times, when everything seems uncertain, when everything that was known changes and it is not known if it will return as before, it is easy to give in to despair. Every step you take, as well as every attitude you decide to take, is a choice. You can cry and despair, complain and get angry or you can take the opportunity to review some things in your life, question certainties, try to understand which life you want to return to after the storm has passed.
House arrest can be an opportunity to rediscover the beauty of your relationships, to get closer, if you have moved away, to rediscover the actual value of what you might have taken for granted.

I think the best soundtrack for these troubled days is offered by Soul music. A music that speaks of victories and defeats, joys and sorrows, perdition and redemption. The only music that has been able to tell what love really is. Not that sweet and eternal thing of pop songs, but that intense and deep feeling that one day ends up giving way to new discoveries and new joys.

The perfect metaphor for these days.

Like everything else, this tribulation will also end. As you try to spend some time with your loved one, listen to this mixtape together and choose to think well and remember that the Osama Bin Laden's Band has pulled down two buildings in the city center, but it is the American state that, with the "Patriot's Act "has deprived its citizens of several civil rights.
