Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Latin Quarter (Twitter), trackmaker/DJ of the Pan Pacific Playa collective from Yokohama, has a brand new album being released! His first original release in 13 years, "pattern01" is available either on cassette or digitally (via Bandcamp). Jet Set also has sets of the cassette with a T-shirt (here).

Also out at the same time is another tape titled "Mock" of previously unreleased works circa 2015 (available only at a few retailers such as Jet Set, with the label apparently having already ran out of stock), and also a mix CD titled "Hearty Party". Both cassettes include a download code.
