An evening devoted to Haruomi Hosono traces the blueprint of modern Japanese sound. From pastoral folk to breezy pop, tropical flourishes to ambient electronics, his catalogue refuses to sit still. He helps usher synthesiser culture into Japan, shifting the landscape for everyone who follows. The session also tips its hat to Yukihiro Takahashi and Ryuichi Sakamoto, alongside cuts from Yellow Magic Orchestra, mapping how their ideas ripple across global pop and experimental scenes. Every track spins on vinyl through No Spice Audio’s Mandrem speakers, built in the spirit of the classic Altec A7. The sound lands warm and full-bodied, exactly as those early pressings intend, inviting you to settle in and really listen.
