Hey music lovers! Get ready for a deep dive into the vibrant world of Tokyo Joe Orchestra. As a seasoned DJ and producer with decades of experience, Tokyo Joe has been a cornerstone of the Amsterdam dance scene. Today, we’re peeling back the layers of his musical journey to discover the ten tracks that have ignited his passion for disco and house music.
From classic disco anthems that fueled his early days to contemporary tracks that continue to inspire him, this playlist offers a glimpse into the eclectic influences that have shaped Tokyo Joe’s signature sound. And as a special treat, we’ll be delving into the creative process behind his latest release, “I Release You,” a collaboration with the soulful Detroit singer Angel-A.
So, grab your headphones and get ready for a nostalgic ride through the history of disco. Let’s explore the tracks that have fueled Tokyo Joe’s fire and continue to inspire him to create music that moves the soul.
When I heard Kraftwerk for the first time I sold my soul to electronic music and never looked back.
This track played a lot in the Disco scene of Amsterdam at the time and it was always so much fun to dance and sing to it.
I love Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry, the music, the style, the fashion, and have all their records in all sorts of releases.
So good to dance to it in the club and when it came out Amsterdam was having a rich disco culture, such joyful moments.
This is so good to listen and dance to when you are in love, forever, eternal.
What a diva, what a great time. Puts you in an endless spin till you drop. Pure ecstasy on the dancefloor.
I first released this song in 1991 on TINK! Records when the gulf war began. A manifesto for love and against war. This is a remix by Paul Scott of B.O.P. New Jersey. The video was shot at one of our parties, Jack To The Future.
I really love this track, and it inspired me to write a song with the same title, to be released soon.
This is an ode to my love for disco and house music.
My first record as Tokyo Joe Orchestra and with the great participation of Angel-A from Detroit who wrote the lyrics and sang. I love her soulful voice and timbre.
I released this track in 1994 on TINK! Records and it was forgotten until around 2016 it became big in France and everyone wanted the record, I decided to make it available in the digital stores. The vinyl remains rare to find.
A huge thanks to Tokyo Joe Orchestra for sharing his musical insights and passion with us. His journey is a testament to the enduring power of disco and house music, and his latest release, “I Release You,” is a beautiful continuation of this legacy.
We encourage you to explore Tokyo Joe’s extensive discography and discover the full range of his musical talents. And don’t forget to buy “I Release You” and get ready to dance your heart out!
