Blue-in-Green:PODCAST_#19_Sean Sophiea

Welcome to Episode_#19 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which are released on the first, second and third Mondays of the month. This podcast series runs in conjunction with the online radio station, Blue-in-Green:RADIO which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. These shows are designed to give you some insight into the incredible range of talented presenters we're so lucky to host from all over the world and to geek out musically with us. This episode sees us return to Niigata, Japan, to speak to Sean Sophiea - the creator of Raw Select Music, which airs Wednesdays at 5pm(UK). In this bumper-sized episode, Imran and Sean discuss Japanese beer festivals, record collecting, the icon that is Dilla, vlogging and so much else. We also had the opportunity to discuss the incredible history behind Sean's "5 Star family" which I'd urge you to catch up on through the following 5-minute YouTube video which will provide the best context for our discussion near the end of the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFrSvoDc3hg www.blueingreenradio.com "Part time DJ. Part time record collector. Full time music lover just trying to shed more light on the less recognized, more obscure side of music. Never one to enjoy only one type of music, my interests change like the seasons, shifting from funk and soul, to house and techno, to hip-hop and jazz, to disco and Latin. The one thing you can expect from my shows is that they're gonna have a little bit of everything on them. Hopefully you enjoy them."
