First, thanks to all those who joined us at Sound Market last month for the autumn Sirocco. It was a fine night with a goodly number of friendly, happy people, and the DJs were able supported by the singing plant on the table near the screen. We took kind of a relaxed attitude towards using the recorder, so Peter and Joseph's sets are lost to history, but they were ace.
Onwards. As we did last year, we're taking Sirocco to The Pink Cow in Shibuya on 29th December for a night of chilled tunes, live music and various other artistic goings-on. The full line-up hasn't been confirmed yet but it'll be a good night, with fine food (Pink Cow burritos are rightly celebrated) and fine drinks in a unique, relaxed setting. Check www.thepinkcow.com for directions and a map, details of the line-up as it unfolds, and a schedule of all their other groovy events. We'll look forward to seeing you there.

November Sirocco
Hello,
It looks like typhoon season has finally ended, so here's hoping we'll for once get a pleasantly warm, sunny autumn.
In a break with the norm, the next Sirocco will be on Monday 22nd November, the evening before the national holiday. Same time, 7:02pm, and same place, Sound Market in Fujisawa, with the same relaxed atmosphere and welcoming vibe as ever.
On a different tip, Peter will be DJing at Japan Music Week's 'UK Bristol Nite', held at Rockwest in Shibuya on Saturday 13th November. The event runs from 5pm to 9pm, and Peter will be playing sometime in the second half, depending on when he gets there.
Hope to see you at one or both. Peace.

September Sirocco
Hello,
Today is the first rainy day for about a month in Shonan, bringing some welcome respite from the relentless heat. You can find more relaxation on a couple of dates this month... first, on Sunday 12th, Peter will be DJing from around 7:00pm at The Pink Cow in Shibuya at their Art Blender event, a gathering of artists, performers, VJs, film-makers and other creative types. There'll also be live music and live painting along with the groovy but mellow tunes: see www.thepinkcow.com for details and directions.
Then, on Sunday 19th, is the next Sirocco at Sound Market in Fujisawa: Peter, Joseph and possibly a guest DJ will dispense chilled friendly vibes, while Taki-san and Miyoko-san provide tasty food and good drinks. We start at 7:02pm, finish around midnight, and the cover is Y500.
Finally, here are some pictures from my summer trip to Okinawa, to create a relaxed frame of mind... peace.

Anniversary Party - free!
Hello,
The February and April Sirocco nights at Sound Market were nice and chilled, but next time is a celebration... June 20th is our second anniversary! Time flies - a truism as well as a great tune by Orbital.
Starting at 19:02 or so, it'll be Peter and Joseph playing mellow electronica, sweet ambient and blissed psy-chill, and there'll be no cover charge this time, so you can spend the Y500 on one of Taki-san's lush cocktails instead.
See you on the couch. Peace.

Sirocco at the Pink Cow 29th Dec 2009
Happy New Year everyone and an あけましておめでとう too for good measure.
Last Tuesday Sirocco performing in Tokyo at Shibuya's The Pink Cow, our first sojourn out of the Shonan Area. Thanks to Traci for letting us play and of course to everyone who came to our chilled oasis in the middle of busy old Tokyo.
For some people it might have been a little too chilled
Once again thanks a lot to everyone who came, we trust you had a great time as we all did. Once again it was a night of chilled music, friendly people and good vibes. A time to chill out and reflect on the year and look forward to the next.
Those who came early were treated to Peter's warm spacious ambient travels. Those that came late will have missed out on his lush tunes but can try to catch him next time.
Those of you who stayed late will have caught Bev who played late into the night for those who do not fear the last train.
Anyone in between will have heard Joseph's set of psychedelic refractions. The one set we managed to record, you can download it by clicking here
