about

Tokyo DJ’s sonic memoir spanning two decades of life and music in Japan

Dive into the exhilarating era of Japan’s electronic dance music scene from the mid ’80s to the mid ’90s with Japan Vibrations Vol. 1. The hand-picked collection by DJ and musical storyteller Alex from Tokyopays homage to the trailblazers and innovators who shaped the landscape.

Set for release this autumn, the compilation serves as a time capsule recording a vibrant point in Japan’s modern music history. Likewise, a love letter from someone who lived it.

11 newly remastered tracks spanning ambient, downtempo, dub, world beats, deep house, new jazz, and techno. Together they showcase the creative ingenuity and energy of a paradisiac era marked by a symbiotic fusion of international sounds with distinctively Japanese influences.

Experience the vibrations of pioneers Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Yasuaki Shimizu. Of culture-shaping forces Hiroshi Fujiwara, Kan Takagi, Susumu Yokota, Silent Poets, Mondo Grosso and Kyoto Jazz Massive. And of new-generation artists CMJK (C.T. Scan), Mind Design, Okihide, and Hiroshi Watanabe. The evolution of a scene, a moment, presented with the progression of a DJ set.

Hi-fidelity remastering by sound engineer Isao Kumano (PHONON). License coordination by Ken Hidaka, album artwork by Takehiko Kitahara. Photography by Meisa Fujishiro and Beezer, and from Alex and friends’ personal collections. Pressed by Mother Tongue Records. Distribution by Rush Hour.

Japan Vibrations Vol. 1 will transport listeners in time to energetic nights at Japan’s legendary club venues and delight with a spirited journey of musical discovery and reflection.

Alex From Tokyoが日本で重ねた25年以上の人生における音楽の回想録、第一章!

Japan Vibrations Vol.1で、80年代半ばから90年代半ばまでの日本のエレクトロニック・ダンス・ミュージック・シーンの刺激的な時代に飛び込もう。東京でDJ活動をスタートした音楽の語り部でもあるアレックス・フロム・トーキョーが厳選したコレクションは、シーンを形作った先駆者たちや革新者たちにオマージュを捧げている。

この秋にリリースされるこのコンピレーションは、日本の現代音楽史における活気に満ちた時期を記録したタイムカプセルとなる。また、その時代を生きた本人からのラブレターでもある。

アンビエント、ダウンテンポ、ダブ、ワールド・ビート、ディープ・ハウス、ニュー・ジャズ、テクノにまたがる11曲を新たにリマスター。国際的なサウンドに日本的な要素が融合した、楽園のような時代のクリエイティビティに満ちた創意工夫と、そのエネルギーを共に紹介する。

シーンのパイオニアである細野晴臣、坂本龍一、清水靖晃、クラブカルチャーを形成した藤原ヒロシ、高木完、ススムヨコタ、Silent Poets、Mondo Grosso、Kyoto Jazz Massive、そして新世代アーティストのCMJK（C.T.Scan）、Mind Design、Okihide、Hiroshi Watanabeのバイブレーションを体験しょう。このクラブシーンの進化をDJセットの進行とともに展開します。

本作はサウンドエンジニア熊野功氏（PHONON）による高音質なリマスタリングが施され、日高健によるライセンスコーディネート、アルバムアートワークは北原武彦。撮影は藤代冥砂とBeezer、と全員がアレックスと親交の深い友人達が担当。プレスはイタリアのMotherTongue Records。販売流通先はアムステルダムのRush Hour。

ジャパン・ヴァイブレーションズ Vol.1は、リスナーを日本の伝説的なクラブで繰り広げられるエネルギッシュな夜にタイムスリップさせ、音楽の発見と内省の旅へといざないます。
