Osaka Recording Studio - Interesting Notch

At the point when I made a trip to Japan recently, it wasn't similar to being a youngster in a treats 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 on 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 Notch. I love leftfield dance music, and many years old Japanese popular music by and large, so the possibility of this unlikely treasure made me pretty energized. It ended up being significantly more great than I envisioned, loaded with every kind of encompassing electronic music that is ideally suited for late night tuning in, new wave and a smidgen of in the middle between.

The store is controlled by Sato, 大阪　レコーディング who's a flat out expert 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 critical stop for anybody visiting Osaka searching for far-out late night rhythms.

He likewise arranges the store's jukebox, and there are many, many, magnificent, dark and outright strange melodies to be heard when you pay attention to the blend at this connection.

It's an astounding and exceptionally varied assortment, and it was a genuine joy to invest some energy absorbing everything. The hints of the jukebox are blended in with accounts from the actual store, and I recorded the entire situation utilizing head-worn Center Sound binaural mouthpieces through an ATI ML200 simple mic preamp into a Zoom H2 streak recorder at 44.1 kHz/24b. 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, yet I might have spent significantly longer in this record store. Whenever I'm in Osaka, I'll try dropping by here once more.

As well as running Interesting Notch, Sato is a music essayist, advertiser and pioneer behind the Kansai underground mark Horen Records, and an individual from Osaka punk band Ultra Await. He has a Ph.D in History from Tenri College, and right now lives on the Eastern edges of Osaka close to the city of Ikoma.
