This morning, enjoy a freshly baked episode with the help of our special guest Asagaya. Follow the recipe for a stunning Sunday : a pinch of dreamy mood, a cup of vibrant and some bliss and rough tracks. There is your energy drink for today.

Hip-hop master

Who’s Asagaya? It’s a mystery. The Japanese beatmaker wears a mask all the time and doesn’t give much information about himself. The main thing is to focus on the music and his album The Light of Dawn has a lot to offer. Produced by GUTS, mastered by Blanka (La Fine Équipe), featuring Jay Prince, Akua Naru and many others ; Asagaya knows how to surround himself with the good persons for sure, but this first LP is just impressive. Take a break and go listen to the brilliant beats and arrangements.

Asagaya’s morning inspiration

Jay Prince - Phase

Asagaya: I had the privilege to work with Jay Prince on my album thanks to Guts and his never-falling intuition. Jay Prince is young, humble and talented. I really appreciate this track for its melancholic mood.

Tricky - Ghetto Stars

Asagaya: Tricky belongs those who made me want to buy my first machines, produce my own tracks and write my lyrics. I have followed his work since I’m a teenager until now and he keeps dazzling me.

The Budos Band - The Sticks

Asagaya: The band I always dreamned of. The soul, the power, the darkness, beers… They’ve got the whole package. Their albums are really elaborate and their shows are phenomenal ; I’m a total fan.

That’s all folks! A big thank to our guest Asagaya and to Emmanuel Eyrignoux for the picture. Enjoy your sunday!

Louise.
