At Moone Records, we love to collaborate with people that inspire us and motivate us to create, but what inspires and motivates them? With this series of playlists, we ask different friends and artists to hand-pick ten songs to ‘soundtrack’ various themes.

We are honored to have Koji Shibuya for our 5th part in the playlist series. For many years, Koji’s project Yumbo has been a sort of ‘secret handshake’ between our close friends. Their album ‘Onibi‘ is always within arm’s reach. In fact, we’re going to go listen to it again now.

Clive Hacker is not only continuously on the hunt for new music, but is always exploring beautiful ways to share it. He runs It’s Just Great, a subscription based music-centric publication out of Oakland, CA. Each issue is comprised of a handmade zine, a limited edition piece by a local artist (often realized and screen printed by Hacker’s girlfriend at All Gold) and a surprise vinyl record. His hard work to create community and heart to give a voice to people that you may have not heard has always been inspiring to us.
