Campbell digs Japan, and he's just back from a ten day jaunt of well curated record stores, incredible food and many greetings of "Arigato gozaimasu!" 

His set this month is full of raw, soulful heaters and cosmic jazz-funk that makes you screw your face up like you accidentally ate the ball of wasabi along with your sashimi. All time Swap Meet fave Garfield Fleming’s 'Don’t Send Me Away' still hits like heartbreak on vinyl, that pleading vocal over lush orchestration is pure modern soul gold. And then there’s Mystic Harmony’s Lovers Rock take on The Jones Girls' 'Nights Over Egypt' deep, spiritual, and epic. Add Freedom Suite 'Come Closer' to that category: a rare groove Trini disco dub with the kind of bassline that makes you look around the room for someone else who heard that. The funkier edges really pop off with Wild Fire 'The Dealer' another Trinidadian gem that’s psych-funk with fuzz guitar and heavy attitude. 

Campbell keeps it moving with the glistening disco of Chantal Curtis ‘Get Another Love’ to Booker Newberry III’s ‘Love Town’, there’s that roller-skate-ready shimmer. Then off to Brasil with Alma Brasileira ‘Peixeiro’ a choro inflected samba and Dom Salvador’s ‘Barumba’, all syncopated rhythms and raw, earthy joy. On the modern tip, Cool Affair ‘Motoric Patterns (Kaidi Tatham Mix)’ slides in with some proper bruk energy: Kaidi doing what he does best. Mr Ngata has the jazzheads covered too - and we also gotta keep pumping current faves The Circling Sun!
