It all started with a fateful meeting online with an article on Iggy and the Stooges, followed by another fateful trip down to Shinjuku's southside Tower Records store on an otherwise nondescript Sunday afternoon. Idling through the aisles, before I knew it I was faced with what is probably the best UK garage/punk band ever, the Bang! Bang! The rest is a vague recollection of stomping around Shinjuku with random people on the kerb...
This mix is fully soundtrack-based, from the Brothers of the Head's Bang! Bang! musico-mentary soundtrack, to Samuel Jackson's latest Wutang-drenched anime flick Afrosamurai, or offbeat movie Babel's strings-and-piano masterpiece. You'd think a soundtrack would be purely an atmospheric, dramatic tension-led, orchestral affair... well, those gilded days are officially over. GZA. Big Daddy Kane. Stone Mecca. The Bang! Bang! Ryuichi Sakamoto. Susumu Yokota. Welcome to Soundtrax Rock. Time to mosh.
