Description

This release marks a brand-new chapter in the acclaimed Wamono A to Z series, curated by DJ Chintam and dedicated to the deep, groove-focused side of Japanese music history. For Blow Up Trio, Chintam turns his attention to the vaults of Trio Records - one of Japan’s most respected labels of the 1970s, founded by audio manufacturer Trio Electronics (later Kenwood).

Active from 1969 until 1984, Trio and its sublabels (including Showboat and Trash) documented a wide spectrum of Japanese music, from jazz and fusion to soundtracks and experimental pop. Here, Chintam isolates eight standout recordings produced between 1973 and 1981, focusing on jazz-funk fusion, rare groove textures, and rhythm-heavy arrangements built around drum breaks, deep basslines, and bold horn sections.

Chintam’s curatorial voice is deeply rooted in experience. After years as a record buyer for major Tokyo shops, he opened Blow Up in Shibuya in 2018 and has since become one of the key figures preserving and contextualizing Wamono culture. This compilation reflects that knowledge - carefully sequenced, historically grounded, and designed to be played loud.

A focused, authoritative entry in the Wamono canon, Blow Up Trio highlights a lesser-documented but essential corner of Japan’s groove history.
