This blog in evidently quite aware of the wonderful contribution Japan makes to the music world – and vinyl digging culture. The recent disasters have seen images of devastation and heartache beamed on to our television screens. So a shout out to our Japanese brothers and sisters that we are hoping and praying for you at this difficult time.
Someone else with a close affinity with Japan – through his music and friendships – is none other than Gilles Peterson. As a sign of support, he has done a mix with a heavy Japanese skew.
