Naturalrhythm

Amemiya KSK, who runs the Latin music-focused record shop and label “discos PAPKIN,” delivers a mix inspired by the serene natural surroundings of a café in his hometown of Yamanashi.

The café “Naturalrhythm,” located in Tsuru City, Yamanashi, is a truly “natural” haven. Situated along a riverside embankment, the owner has crafted a free-spirited space with a small hut and deck where goats roam freely, fully embracing the beauty of the natural environment.

During a recent DJ set there, I was struck by the sheer comfort of the setting, which felt almost like being transported to another dimension. This mix captures that magical atmosphere, refined and polished to perfection.

The sounds of the river flowing below the embankment, the rustling leaves swayed by the wind, children’s laughter, and the bleats of goats—all syncing harmoniously with the music being played—brought me immense joy. This mix is my attempt to share that happiness with you.

Straying from my usual DJ style, I blended cinematic soul and exotic chill-hop, with a hint of my signature South American spice.

This mix is designed to melt into any living environment, subtly lifting your mood without being intrusive.

Listen, let your imagination take you to that special place, and if you ever get the chance to visit, it would mean the world to me.

Above all, it’s a heavenly spot I’m proud to call home. My recommendation? Try the cocoa.
