The sixteenth episode of the Xenomorph Sounds series is a special radioshow focussing on the Asian scene, specifically Japan, China and Taiwan. It is the German journalist and activist konrkit, also known as Kristoffer Cornils, in charge to trace the overview of such fervent subterranean scene. The mix, more than a podcast, looks more like a sound book. It features two hours of psychedelic music, rock, jazz, electronic, pop and folklore. Aired on January 25th in the occasion of Threads Radio‘s second anniversary, it showcases the best bands and composers from the most hidden alleys of the area.
Listen and go deep inside the concept and full tracklist, which Kristoffer kindly shared with us.
