Your starter for ten: What links Ivorian house don Mr Raoul K, no wave hero Lydia Lunch, Cluster founder Hans-Joachim Roedelius, and one of the most beloved mix series around? As you may have guessed, it’s Mule Musiq.

After fifteen years in the game – and with sister imprint nearing double digits – designer/promoter/A&R Toshiya Kawasaki’s brainchild has a legitimate claim to the title of most decorated Japanese label of all time. With close to 200 releases under arm, it’s irresistible to reel off some choice highlights: stellar mix-compilations from the likes of KZA and Optimo, plus six instalments of the in-house I'm Starting to Feel OK series; the first consummation of Henrik Schwarz & Bugge Wesseltoft’s union; and, in Midtown 120 Blues, one of the greatest albums of the century.

Naturally, there’s no plan to stop; Endless Flight, indeed. Across these ninety-odd minutes, Kawasaki-san offers forth exclusives from Frank & Tony, Prins Thomas and longtime affiliate Kuniyuki Takahashi; moving from stirring orchestral flourishes and windchimes into cosmic territory, spinning outward with a track that tips its hat to one of Tokyo’s finest clubs.

The pacing affords each track breathing room, allowing melodic lines to thread across the gossamer surface as the mix unhurriedly unspools. So effectively, the most Mule Musiq mix imaginable: a total joy.
