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.

Barbara Jones

Barbara Jones has been played on NTS in shows including Confusing Mix w/ Josh Da Costa, featured first on 7 March 2019. Songs played include Why Didn't You Let Me Know, Just When I Needed You Most and Hello .

Barbara Jones had a steady stream of reggae singles in the '70s and broke out into stardom in the '80s with her pulsing cover of Randy VanWarmer's sniffling soft rock downer "Just When I Needed You Most." This collection covers her career from the mid- '70s through the mid- '80s and although it leans a little heavier on her latter day pop success, it manages to fit a good number of her earlier reggae sides into its hefty 23 tracks. In addition to the title track, Jones lends her light, breezy delivery to a wide variety of covers here including "Angel of the Morning," "(You Were) Always on My Mind," "My Boy Lollipop," and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow." Among the highlights of her '70s tracks are a pair of Alton Ellis penned songs, "Why Birds Fly" and "Ooh Wee Baby (Baby I Love You)." ~ Wade Kergan
