Given the world is in the process of celebrating 20 years of Soma Records, we thought there’d be nothing more apt than to host this weeks special guest.   Enjoy.

The Kana Show has been remodelled, reshaped, re-jiggled, and returns to you in an all new format – you guessed it – a Podcast!

The new face of Kana will be this “Kana Cast“, this way we will be able to maintain a regular weekly show without any interruptions from bandwidth drop outs and deliver exactly what you want – top quality shows from amazingly talented and passionate artists!

If you like the show, tell your friends, tell your colleagues, get everyone involved! Subscribe to Kana in your favourite document reader or just subscribe to the Podcast in iTunes, its that easy to stay connected with the Kana sounds and happenings!

We are commencing a new mix series entitled “City Lights”, Leo Hede started things off in a very special a couple of weeks ago which you can find here, and will find on Kana and iTunes in the coming weeks.

But, for our first Kana Cast we would like to re-introduce you to the deep, hypnotic stylings of Justin Margovan.  We asked Justin to prepare something very special for our listeners to capture the depth and drive of his musical passion, this is what he has to share with you, I think you’ll agree it is something very worthy indeed.

“I wanted to do something different than a complete full on dance floor mix. Areas of it still have that vibe but it was aimed so that people can listen to it on their mp3 players, at home when they are warming up for a night out, or even when they get back after a club. There’s dark parts and light parts with some subtle, and not so subtle, energy changes. I hope you all enjoy the journey.”

A little about Justin:

As an artist playing and making music, it’s easy to boast your achievements and credentials. Justin would rather let you listen and decide for yourself. A dedicated student to his craft, this guy is constantly evolving his skills and never fails to put on a show.
He’s been Djin since early 90s and just getting round to releasing some tracks.

Here’s a studio mix for you all to enjoy and it explores the darker side of his passion.
Thanks for listening,
Kana
