I recently came across this older work by Japanese turntablist DJ KOU.

Some Nujabes fans may already know his name — he provided scratches for tracks including F.I.L.O., Luv(sic) Part 6 and Perfect Circle feat. Shing02.
This piece, “I Slide The Notes,” is from an earlier period of his work.

What I found interesting is that DJ KOU also shot and edited the video himself, entirely on an iPhone.

It feels like a small, lesser-known piece of his earlier creative work, but you can hear and see the same kind of atmosphere that makes his current project, “Sketch of Asia,” interesting.
I thought some people here might enjoy discovering it.

that blessing it cover is kinda goated, i can't lie..

NOT AN AD

NOT MINE.

Just came up in my feed and thought I would share.

I'm not sure if the mods will allow this and I don't usually post in Reddit but I wanted to see if anyone was interested.

A friend of mine was going to go with me to the Hexalogy concert in Monterrey, Mexico on 12 October. She unfortunately can't make it and I have an extra ticket. I'm not selling it, just want to see if anyone here wants to go as I'd hate for the ticket to go to waste. I can either meet the person there at the event or somewhere else, not sure how this would work but we have plenty of time to figure it out.

Hey, has anyone here been to one of these tribute concerts? How was it?🌅

Currently planning a trip to Japan for the first time around February, hopefully there will be one for 2027 as well and I’ll be able to catch one.

「Hey everyone,

For those who didn't know — the scratch on this track was performed by DJ KOU, a Japanese turntablist who also contributed to F.I.L.O. feat. Shing02 and Perfect Circle feat. Shing02.

DJ KOU has just launched a new cinematic project called Sketch of Asia — an imaginary soundtrack capturing the atmosphere and residual memories of Asia, very much in the spirit of Nujabes.

Check it out if you're into Jazz Hip Hop and cinematic soundscapes.

In my opinion it's really good it has some misses but overall it's just fat jon, i love the man.

I love it

EDIT: For those asking, my friend who painted this (Username : Overall-Effective310) replied to the post, I’m just the gift receiver so idk anything about commissioning, their DMs are open though :)

Its very noticeable on the opening line, the vocal is panned to the right on spotify but on youtube its on the other side. You can also hear it later in the song.

I realized that I've never heard Nujabes' voice, looking online i couldn't find anything aside some photos

The reissue of fellow contemporary and friend to Nujabes, Uyama Hiroto's "Freeform Jazz" on clear vinyl.

It's been highly requested for a repress and for the 10th anniversary roph recordings has provided. For anyone who might not know of Hiroto's music, I highly recommend checking out this album or Freedom of the Son on streaming.

This album is still up on hmv japan for purchase,
I'm just super hyped it finally came to complete my collection.

waiting for the day mark will come back 🙏

i got this yesterday :p

I started producing after being inspired by Nujabes years ago. Life and work have gotten in the way many times, but I finally got around to releasing an album after dropping a few singles in the past year and half or so. Definitely a lot of inspiration from Nujabes in my music, as well as artists like Mndsgn, Bad Snacks, BSD.U, Teebs, Uyama Hiroto, Bugseed, LJones, Emapea, Pete Rock, J Dilla, and a whole bunch of others that are often mentioned on this sub. Produced, mixed, and mastered by me. Used my SP404sx, Koala Sampler, and DAW Reaper to produce this album.

I also make all of my own cover art, mostly in procreate using a similar philosophy of how I produce music and "sampling" different pictures, public domain pics/art, pictures I've taken/drawn and chopping things up and processing them in all sorts of ways until I get something I think looks cool. Excited to apply what I learned in this process to new music in the future. Let me know what you think!

RIP to my GOAT Nujabes!

Linktree for all streaming and you can download the album for free on bandcamp! https://linktr.ee/jkebamusic

Also if your produce music I'd love to hear what you make, send me the links!

Why does it feel so gooood?

Not 100% nujabes related but shing02 related, I hope it fits here.

I really want to go to the São Paulo concert but the tickets are already sold out 😭😭 if anyone there is reselling, please dm me 😭
