Osaka Recording Studio - Interesting Score

At the point when I went to Japan recently, it wasn't similar to being a youngster in a sweets store. It was more similar to being a youngster in 17 sweets stores at the same time, which were all filled to the edge with things I didn't know existed and couldn't hold back to investigate. Record stores were no special case.

One of the most mind-blowing was in the city of Osaka, where I coincidentally found Uncommon Section. I love leftfield dance music, and many years old Japanese popular music as a general rule, so the possibility of this unlikely treasure made me pretty energized. It ended up being considerably more wonderful than I envisioned, supplied with every possible kind of encompassing electronic music that is ideally suited for night-time tuning in, new wave and a tad of in the middle between.

The store is controlled by Sato, 大阪　レコーディング who's an outright wonder with regards to finding and loading dark records. He's been known to come around and turn records with visiting DJs like Ben UFO and BENEDEK, so no big surprise he's a vital stop for anybody visiting Osaka searching for far-out night-time rhythms.

He additionally organizes the store's jukebox, and there are many, many, marvelous, dark and downright bizarre melodies to be heard when you pay attention to the blend at this connection.

It's an astonishing and extremely diverse assortment, and it was a genuine delight to invest some energy absorbing everything. I recorded the entire thing using head-worn Core Sound binaural microphones through an ATI ML200 analog mic preamp into a Zoom H2 flash recorder at 44.1 kHz/24b. The jukebox sounds are mixed in with recordings from the store itself. The tracks are all suitable to download from the jukebox and the shop's true Soundcloud account.

This is only a testing of the extraordinary stuff that is there, however I might have spent significantly longer in this record store. Whenever I'm in Osaka, I'll try dropping by here once more.
