The shocking events in Japan will affect us all.
Many of my closest friends, family and work colleagues are there.
It is my second home.
As a DJ I have spent some of my most inspired nights in Japan.
I always come back inspired, refreshed and motivated.
The Japanese people have always shown me love and affection – they are the most passionate music fans and if they like what you do – they let you know!
We all need that in life.
Japan is a positive nation and as such I am sure it will eventually recover from it’s current trauma.
I hope you enjoy this mix that I recorded today featuring some Japanese tunes that have touched me over the years.
Enjoy and of course… Ganbare Nippon
