Copyright restrictions pose a challenge for our channel. YouTube automatically monetizes the songs in this mix, directing ad revenue to copyright owners. This means we can’t control the ads or their frequency. As a result, 99.9% of MAJ’s yearly viewership generates no income for us due to copyrighted music. MAJ’s mission is to share high-quality vinyl-only mixes. To continue, we need support to maintain our studio and cover expenses.

Through the highly-acclaimed Jazz series of compilations and the J Jazz Masterclass Series of full album reissues, Tony and Mike have given a global audience access to some of the rarest, obscure and most in-demand modern Japanese jazz. Often working with many legendary artists, including Terumasa Hino, Takeo Moriyama, Hideo Ichikawa and Masahiko Satoh, the pair have opened up a world that was previously limited to a handful of hardcore collectors. Drawing on their respective vinyl collections amassed over many years, they embrace modal, spiritual, jazz funk, samba, fusion, free and hard / post bop jazz. As well as the compilation series and reissues, Tony and Mike co-authored a 400-page book, J Jazz: Free and Modern Jazz Albums From Japan 1954-19988, published by BBE Music. The first of its kind, it's a full-colour, large format book that features 500 albums, telling the story of this incredible culture. To mark the 5 June release of J Jazz: Deep Modern Jazz From Japan Vol. 5 on BBE Music, curators Tony Higgins and Mike Peden select choice cuts from the compilation and play an exclusive preview mix for MAJ using their original Japanese vinyl albums from their own collections, including ultra rare private pressings. https://www.instagram.com/the_jazz_dad https://www.instagram.com/bacoso ------------ Cameras: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ Mixer by Condesa Electronics Turntables: Technics 1210mk2 Stylus & Cartridges by Ortofon UK: Ortofon 2M Blue & Ortofon Concorde MKII Twin Club DJ https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/brands/ortofon/ Record Cleaning Brush: Record brush “Joni” https://ramar.berlin/en/ Equipment Provided by Audio Gold: Leben CS 600x Valve power amplifier Grundig Audiorama Hanging Speakers Yamaha CR-2020 vintage receiver  Mordaunt Short Festival Series 2 vintage speakers Audio Gold custom Technics plinths https://majical.co.uk/stories The “Aladdin’s Cave of hi-fi” Audio Gold specialises in new and second-hand stereo equipment for your home, restaurant or bar.
