A couple days ago, i got hit up by my man PRINCE KLASSEN who was touring in japan. While record shopping in Harajuku he ran accross what appeared to be a SWEATER FUNK mixtape! check out his story:
Wax Poetics Japan X Beams Records: Brad Howe Exhibition
Walking around Harajuku with the homie Pase showing me a ton of new places I hadn’t seen, he told me about Beams Records. They offer the best hand picked items in the musical realm, ranging from Bossa Nova re-issues to exclusive CDs from Japanese Funk DJs.
When we walked in they had a great display of Wax Poetics Japan and many works from Brad Howe on display. I didn’t realize it was an exhibition until one item caught my eye. The store teamed up with WPJP, Howe, & PROPS radio to release an exclusive mixtape packaged with about 30 mini prints of Howe’s illustrations nicely packaged with a piece of candy. The show titled GRATITUDE ran until this past Sunday the 15th and I am glad I had the random chance of seeing it.
I initially picked up the package giving it minor attention until I realized that the mixtape included was actually from Wax Poetics contributor Amir of Boston’s DJ duo Kon & Amir. I then looked closer to notice it was a live set from Kon & Amir recorded at my extended SF family’s Sweater Funk party. Needless to say, I immediately copped it.
You can view more photos of the package on Howe’s blog linked above and I am working on finding a link so you can possibly order one for yourself.” (via PRINCE KLASSEN)
still trying to get to the bottom of this story, but the thought of SWEATER FUNK in japan is kinda bugged…
NOW SOMEBODY FLY US OUT TO ASIA FOR A SWEATER FUNK TOUR ALREADY!!!
