J-Digs: Shibuya-kei
Japan, 20.11.24
The Shibuya-kei movement, born in Tokyo’s Shibuya district in the ‘90s, fused global influences like bossa nova, jazz, and electronic music with Japan’s vibrant indie and club scenes. It was a playful yet sophisticated blend of Western pop nostalgia and forward-thinking arrangements, shaped by pioneers like Pizzicato Five and The Collectors.
Dive into the world of Shibuya-kei in this introductory mix presented by NTS and archival label, J-DIGS.
