KaijuMix

OK! One part research, one part messing around, I made this mix in part to familiarize myself more with current J-Rock bands leading up to my trip to Japan in a couple weeks. Most of my favorite Japanese groups tend toward the electronic side of the spectrum, like Capsule and YMCK, but I definitely have an affinity for more rocking crews like The Pillows and Asian Kung Fu Generation. I sifted through gigs and gigs of material to produce this mix, discovering dozens of rad bands I had never heard of before. Hopefully giving it a quick listen might expose you to a few new sounds yourself.

Enjoy! And comment!
