Here’s a seemingly endless DJ set that’ll help you ease into the weekend: a five-parter from Prins Thomas, captured at Sur Bar in Kagoshima, Japan. Anyone want to help us decode all the rare disco records and locked grooves within?

So we stumbled upon some rather interesting news via Jonas Reinhardt‘s Soundcloud page the other week—aside from having a Not Not Fun album (Music For the Tactile Dome) on the way this spring, the Kraut-y collective recently tracked a 12” and double LP with one of space-disco’s leading cadets, Prins Thomas.
