Japanese Soul from the '70s: with Kengo

All music rights belong to their rightful owners. Please support the musicians and buy their music. ------------ Kengo is a Tokyo-born, London-based DJ and artist. Growing up on his older brother's cassette tapes, CDs, and FM radio and spending his later school years in London's live concert venues, Kengo eventually discovered club culture through his love of dance. Gravitating towards spaces where the dancefloor was the place to be, such as Madame Jojo's and Plastic People, led him to set up his own collective 4 To The Floor, connecting music, dance, community and education in the club context. “I'm excited to share some of my Japanese records with you. I've chosen records, loosely based around the genre of what we call in Japan “light mellow“ which pre-dates City-Pop's more synth-driven sounds.“ - KENGO ------------ MAJ NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
