Church of the Ecstatic 08/26/26 – Citypop Remixed / Get Funky
Exploring a bunch of modern remixes of 80’s Japanese City-pop (mostly of the future funk variety) from around the world, and then flying back across the Pacific in the second half to explore some of the black music that was happening in the 80’s that no doubt influenced city-pop’s sound.
