Drift into a blissful dream with Revelation Time.

In the midst Japan’s million-mile-an-hour metropolises there’s always space for a little oasis of calm. Eiji from Osaka record store Revelation Time made our day last month when he dropped two new Japanese vinyl mixes into our inbox unannounced.

As we discovered in in our recent digging guide to Japan, Revelation Time is a haven for a huge variety of genres from Japanese cosmic to Turkish psych, hand picked by Eiji (with help from Norio, owner of Rare Groove), who’ll pick out what you’re after and hand you a coffee while you wait.

While DJs often get priority when it comes to mixes, we are firm believers here at VF that a good mix is all about the prowess of the selection, and so who better to take you through a low and lazy chillout mix of the best Japanese vocal records out there than the man who spends his life selling them to DJs? To paraphrase Huggy Bear, why wait in line when you can go straight to the source?
