After the first mixtape of the Japan series called „Funky Kyoto“ it’s time for another eclectic trip. This time you gonna hear funky gems from Japans capitol Tokyo.

A two and a half-week roundtrip through Japan this autumn was also used for extensive crate diggin‘. The japanese people are well-known for beeing serious music nerds. It is therefore no surprise that the medium vinyl isn’t a current hype as in the western hemisphere but deeply rooted in the life of japanese people.

Besides to a vast amount of record stores you can find almost all population stratum in the shops: from young schoolgirls, experienced crate diggers to businessmen.

But let the music speak for itself: lean back & follow us on the ride!

The selection and quality of the vinyl is really impressive: so you can expect in the mixtape „SoulBrigada pres. Funky Kyoto“ again a wide range of various music genres. But let the music speak for itself: lean back & follow us on the ride!

In 2015 the Brigadistas finally reunites in Switzerlands probably most exciting city: Zurich. Since then the Limmat city is the new home base of SoulBrigada.

Compared to other cities Zurich is rather a small metropolis but due to the fact that one third of its inhabitants are from foreign countries (approximate 170 nations) it’s a nice melting pot of varied cultures and (life-)styles. Zurich’s cultural scene is also a nice environment for creative work & output.

And it’s also good place for music from vinyl. Several record shops, flea markets & record fairs are a good source for extended diggin‘ tours. In „SoulBrigada pres. Funky Zurich“ you’ll hear the results of this crate diggin‘: an eclectic trip through funk, rare groove, dub disco, boogie (funk), nujazz, brazil, reggae, dub, trip hop, jazz..  Follow us on this journey!
