Beasts/Touyou Kanon Podcast EPISODE 8

Beasts From the East/Touyou Kanon Podcast

This May installment of Beasts gets off to a slick start via a track from Hood Sound affiliate HOKT (with production from DJ Honda) and his 2012 album "Galaxy" You'll hear a rework of a Billie Holliday song in the jazz set that follows, which includes a tune from Emi Tawata. Next up is a slammin' hip-hop detour, which introduces you listeners to MeccaGodZilla, who also goes by Ryu Black. He grew up like many on the Street Fighter video game series, and the track that you'll hear is a banger in tribute to the legacy of the series (particularly the 2nd game). He's the head of Manafest Vision Media, and you'll hear more about him and his team in this episode. DJ Deckstream and Shiro Matsuba (alongside some other artists) provide some higher aural ground immediately after, via sweeping, almost ghostly choruses and tight digitized arrangements. Takeshi Sakasegawa lends us some gorgeous strings, alongside Love Psychadelico and The Circlets. All this leads to a grand finale of rock n' roll proportions with Davina Robinson on leadoff, with bands ELEKIBASS and Tsu Shi Ma Mi Re providing added coverage. The closer for this episode is our good associate ZAZU TIMES TWO, who's contributed graphics excellence for the Touyou Kanon artwork since his introduction last year. This and more (including shot outs to a gifted culinary mind in Mr. Jack Scalfani, host of the webshow "Cooking With Jack" -- videos of his show are now available at www.CookingWithJack.com) make this edition of Beasts a special and spicy one. Enjoy! Also, Vividly Visions (our parent company) has been the hub for the TAINTED ANGELS.
