Inside Out - Japan Edition - Vol 14 feat Kez YM

Inside Out Japan

Tokyo, Japan

Hosting Japans very own RBMA show, Shibuya FM is named after one of the world's busiest urban zones, and it doesn't let its name sake down. Covering the multitude of music styles that prevail through Tokyo, on any one day you can hear jazzy eclecticism from original Tokyo pioneers like Toshio Matsuura, Raphael Sebagg, future beats from the Jazzy Sport crew, reggae 45s from Shibu Ragga, deep disco and house music from Lowrider, Flower Records, and Tokyo Clubmix, while the World Famous show covers all the bases, and the downtown b-boys tune into Warp On The Table and MasterMix. The weekly RBMA session sees the freshest local talent rubbing shoulders in the studio with international guests. Special guests this time around is Kez YM, bringing his trademark Chill Size FM beats, which put the Balearic in Broken Beat - softly chugging House and Jazz-inflected kicks notwithstanding. Looking up to Japanese cultural heavyweights like Yukio Mishima and Takeshi Kitano when making his multi-instrumentalist concoctions, Kazuki runs an internet radio station, Chill Size, promotes parties and performs live whenever he can, touring around the globe with a bag full of records whenever he can.
