A quick word about the mixtapes section

Astute followers of HL will know that not only do we take very seriously the task of dropping great music on y’all. But also that I, the newest member of the crew, have just been to Japan.

While over there I picked up some fantastic Japanese music and some hard [for me] to find American pieces. All in all a good time was had by all - spreading the love between myself, record store owners, bank managers, the credit card company, and a couple of loan sharks..

It was then suggested, as I would not shut up about my little Madlib story, that I put some of my new records together on a mix.

I am honoured to get the first bite at the HL mixtape cherry and I know there are some interesting things brewing from East London favourite Disco Jesus to come too. So here is an idea of some of the delights you too can unearth in Japanese record stores if you make it over there. All music is from vinyl, which is why I couldn’t include any Ino Hidefumi.

I hope you can look past the fact that “they are not singing in English” and enjoy the music within - and make sure to bookmark it as new things will be going in there soon…

Any people interested in a track listing, you are out of your mind. No, seriously, leave a comment below and I will get back to you. Thanks for listening. Keep on sharing.
