Gilles' 'Ganbare Nippon' Mix

by Mumblz on March 15, 2011

The shocking events this last week in Japan will affect us all. Many of my closest friends, family and work colleagues are there. It is my second home. As a DJ I have spent some of my most inspired nights in Japan. I always come back inspired, refreshed and motivated.

The Japanese people have always shown me love and affection – they are the most passionate music fans and if they like what you do – they let you know! We all need that in life. Japan is a positive nation and as such I am sure it will eventually recover from it’s current trauma. I hope you enjoy this mix that I recorded today featuring some Japanese tunes that have touched me over the years.

Enjoy and of course…

Ganbare Nippon

    Thanks Gilles – a great touch in reminding us of people of Japan’s part in the worldwide jazz community and putting together just a small sample of all the great jazz , creativity and energy of the people from Japan. Not forgetting Takemura, Mitsu the beats, Love Tambourines, Jazztronik, Monday Michiru, Jazzy Sport, Love TKO, Sleep walker, Soil & Pimp, Bebe, Towa Tei, Mondo Grosso, Soul Bossa Trio, Kimiko Kasai & all those productions from the 70s onwards., And the labels too. And back in the day all those reissues from Blue Note from Japan, because there was a an ongoing enthusiasm fro Jazz in Japan, which we tapped into in London. My first Brazillian vinyl albums I got from Mr Bongos in Poland Street, via Japan resissues Thank you to the people of Japan, you are in my thoughts and keep moving forward xxx
