Underground sounds ยท Alternative vibes

The Japan Groove Library

Neon-soaked synth, alleyway punk, and the alternative sound of the city.

Going underground

Forget City Pop. The Japan Groove Library goes underground, collecting the oddball, alternative, and high-energy sounds that never made the tourist playlists. Punk, synth, techno-pop, noise, and whatever sits in the gaps between genres.

Otoboke Beaver at full tilt, vintage Plastics, neon-soaked electronics, and recordings that sound like they were made in an alleyway. This is the alternative sound of the city, and each mix pulls from a different corner of the archive.

Tokyo after dark, where the interesting music lives.
