Compiled by Tokyo digger Dubby and Amsterdam selector Antal, this first volume traces the curious rise of techno kayo - a short-lived but influential blend of kayokyoku songcraft and European-inspired electronics. The set spans chart pop, underground oddities and proto-club experiments, all threaded by the shimmer of synths and drum machines, with highlights including The Peters' 'Happy Time', a breezy, neon-lit cut with disco undercurrents, and Kuniko Yamada's 'Tetsugaku Shiyo (Viens Philosopher)', where French pop sensibilities meet Japanese electronics. Kyoko Koizumi's 'Microwave' tilts into playful futurism, while Hikashu's 'Melonno Nakano Hitsuji' pushes further into avant-pop territory. Elsewhere, 'City Train' by Targets captures the spirit of urban modernity. It's a truly vivid snapshot of 80s Japan reimagining pop for the machine age: catchy, strange and enduringly fresh.
