Sunday Service FM Vol. #01 is Kato Konpyuta’s first DJ mix under the new name: one hour of neo-soul, Japanese city pop, jazz-funk and soulful house, made for a slow Sunday.
It starts easy with UK neo-soul and Tokyo city pop, settles into jazz-funk, rare groove and acid jazz, then lifts into soulful house and disco for the last fifteen minutes. Twenty tracks, with Mayer Hawthorne, 5lack, DJ HASEBE, Shintaro Sakamoto, FloFilz & Takuya Kuroda, Soul Supreme and 94 East feat. Prince along the way, and Kato’s own Last Train at 40:59.

Kato mixes it in his room on a Sunday morning: two turntables, headphones on one ear, every record pulled from its sleeve and swapped by hand. Three camera angles, one hour.
