Dear Friends

Based in her hometown of Nagoya, Rica delivers a one-hour mix that blends Techno and House with elements of jazz, world music, and live instrumentation.

As long as we are alive, we will experience pain. In those moments, we need sounds that seep into the cracks of our hearts and help us heal.

Thunder strikes, rain falls, the earth soaks and compacts, and new shoots stretch from seeds underground.

While the passage of time can sometimes feel frightening, I want to embrace and enjoy the ever-changing landscapes of life.

The connections made through music—their pulse—continue to spread across the country and the world. I’ve been saved countless times by the music shared by dear friends and those I’ve encountered along the way.

This mix is my prayer for moments of peace, dedicated to those cherished friends and to all the people I have yet to meet.
