Born in Tokyo, raised in Brazil, and educated in French schools, but it was in London that Noriko Sekiguchi, also known as POiSON GiRL FRiEND first found the music that would inspire her own work. She became infatuated with the UK and US house music that was filling the city in the mid to late 1980s, before returning to Tokyo, bringing the music with her to the city's clubs as a DJ. Releasing multiple albums, the POiSON GiRLFRiEND project – featuring a house and breakbeat-infused pop and R&B sound – reached minor commercial and critical acclaim. Sekiguchi's solo music along with her work in obscure group Kiss-O-Matic has experienced a small revival following some Japanese music fanatics exploration of 90s CD releases.

Universal Togetherness Band

Universal Togetherness Band

Universal Togetherness Band has been played on NTS over 50 times, featured on 48 episodes and was first played on 10 November 2014.

In spring 1979, Columbia College student Andre Gibson spotted an engineering department flyer for an audio production class looking for bands to record in their studios. Gibson jump at the opportunity, assembling a motley crew from several chapters in his life into the Universal Togetherness Band.

The band went off on a five semester recording bender and without parting with a single buck for studio sessions. Mercury Records expressed an interested in signing them on but somehow the deal fell through the cracks and UTB failed to release any material.

Over three decades later, the archivists at Numero Group stumbled across the band’s guest appearance on ’80s television show The Chicago Party. Dazzled by UTB’s erudite dancefloor sound, drawing on funk, soul, disco, new wave and jazz-fusion, they tracked down Gibson and set about releasing a highlights collection, simply titled Universal Togetherness Band.
