The Overlooked Tracks Podcast: Recent Episodes

Kenny Chiba

A podcast thriving on songs needing to be rediscovered and put on heavy rotation - Giving justice to musical gems, playing great songs tells great stories.

Sometimes, the quiet does not end. It transforms.

In Episode 104, we slowed everything down. We took a breath, stepped away from the noise and allowed the music to bring us back toward ourselves.

But somewhere beyond that stillness, the sky began to change.

A low rumble appeared in the distance. The clouds gathered. Amplifiers warmed up. Guitar

strings started to vibrate—and the magical music bus pulled back onto the road.

This is Episode 105 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast, and for this episode we are following the Signals Beneath the Noise.

These are independent artists creating progressive, alternative, psychedelic and cinematic rock—musicians still building their roads, finding their listeners and pushing their music beyond familiar borders.

We begin gently, but do not get too comfortable.

There is rolling thunder ahead.

You are listening to the Overlooked Tracks Podcast—music you’ve been overlooking.

Don’t just listen. ADORE.

For the last few episodes we've traveled across cities, countries, languages, cultures, and sounds. We've crossed oceans.

We've ridden the Magical Music Bus through neon streets, underground clubs, jazz cafés, rooftop parties, and late-night train stations. But this time around...The bus is parked.

No passports required. No customs. No destination. Just a moment to remember who we are when the world gets quiet. This episode is known as "The Space Between Songs."

It's dedicated to anyone who's been moving too fast.

Anyone carrying a little too much.

Anyone trying to remember the person they were before the notifications, before the deadlines, before the endless scrolling. Tonight we're slowing down.

Taking a breath. And spending some time with artists who deserve far more attention than they're getting. No superstar playlists. No Top 100 countdowns. No algorithms telling us what we should hear. Just great music. Music created by artists whose work quietly changes lives one listener at a time.

The road begins quietly. No loud announcements. No flashing lights. Just the soft hum of an engine… and the sense that something new is unfolding.

This time around, the Magical Music Bus rolls into 4 countries — not with noise, but with rhythm. Places where melodies feel ancient, magical and futuristic at once. Outside the window, colors move like brushstrokes across these lands. Cars and Motorcycles hum around many cities, and conversations drift through the air. Somewhere in the distance, a soulful voice rises and refuses to be ignored.

We’re not chasing charts this season. We’re chasing the dreams hidden inside melodies, the desires carried in basslines, the quiet parts of ourselves that only music seems to understand. Let these tracks meet you where you are — and maybe help you discover who you’re becoming.

From neo-soul whispers to indie R&B reflections and pop confessions that linger long after the last note, this journey moves through voices meant to travel beyond borders. So take a seat. Let the world soften.

Find your window. You’re riding with the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. Season Seven — On the Road Again.

The journey is already in motion.

This episode was written somewhere between cobblestone streets and quiet realizations.
Between missed turns, long walks, train windows, and moments where time slowed down just enough to let the truth catch up.

Italy didn’t ask me to change.
It asked me to pay attention.

Episode 100 lives in that awareness.

This is Episode 100.
No flex. No fireworks.
Just heart, breath, and truth.

This one isn’t about talking over tracks.
It’s about letting the music carry the weight—
like a soul finally exhaling.

This episode is a love letter.
To myself.
To you.
To anyone learning how to stay standing when life tries to fold them.

The heart of Italy is beating in 4/4 time — and it’s louder than ever.

In Episode 99 of Overlooked Tracks, host Kenny Chiba takes you on a sonic adventure through Italy’s underground house and electronic scene, where passion meets precision and the dancefloor becomes pure art. From deep, hypnotic grooves to soulful club anthems, this mix is a journey through rhythm, emotion, and the unmistakable Italian flair that makes every beat feel alive.

Featuring some incredible artists including Marco Faraone, Fabio Florido, RISE, Daddy’s Groove, Deborah De Luca, and more — Electric Amore builds from silky 90 BPM moods to 120 BPM of pure nightlife energy. It’s a moment of deep love for the craft — a celebration of DJs who spin stories instead of just songs.

Turn up the volume, close your eyes, and let these Italian frequencies move you from the first drop to the final fade.

Episode 100 is on the horizon — a historic milestone for the Overlooked Tracks Podcast — but this time around, it’s all about the revolution of rhythm, the spark of soul, and the power of Electric Amore.

🎧 Don’t overlook the urban in you.

🎶 Episode 97: “Fusion at the Edge: Turkey’s Sonic Mosaic”
Where continents hum, and music is the bridge.

🌀 Ride the Bosphorus with me.
I’m Kenny Chiba — your cosmic bus driver and sonic guide — and in this episode we plunge deep into Turkey’s soundscape. Here, East and West don’t just touch — they collide, converse, shake hands, and remix. The Bosphorus isn’t just geography — it’s pulse, it’s groove, it’s the tubular vein where melodies flow between worlds.
On this journey, tradition coexists with jazz fusion, rock chops echo in ancient alleys, and rap/hip-hop voices carry modern rebellion on old winds.

✨ In Episode 97 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast
We let Anatolian psych, jazz fusion, and boundary-breaking hybrids rise — from Anatolian soil, through crowded bazaars, out into the cinematic sky.

What’s good, fam?

You’re now tuned in to Episode 96 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. And guess what? We're still riding aboard the Magical Music Bus — your one-way ticket to the most vibrant, vital, and overlooked sounds from around the globe.

Last stop? We were deep in Chile, where protest anthems and Andean soul lit the sky with revolution and rhythm.

But this time? We’ve crossed oceans and landed in the bold, beating heart of West Africa — Nigeria.

This ain’t just another pit stop — it’s a cultural collision, a sonic uprising, and a global vibe transmission from Lagos to the world.

I’m your host Kenny Chiba — your music selector, narrator, and guide through the grooves less traveled. And this time around, we’re tuning into a musical landscape that refuses to be defined. This is more than Afrobeats. It’s alté, afro-fusion, spiritual jazz, rebel soul, and DIY cool.

Buckle up. The Magical Music Bus has no brakes. Let’s go!!

There’s a sound rising from the foot of the Andes… not one sound, actually—but many.

In the shadows of Chile’s history, in the glow of its digital future, a vibrant chorus is coming alive. It doesn’t play by genre rules. It doesn’t chase algorithm gold. It breathes in protest, poetry, and passion. And for this episode, The Overlooked Tracks Podcast is tuning straight into it.

This is Episode 95, and we’re riding the magical music bus right into the heart of Chile—where independent artists are flipping tradition on its head and remixing cultural roots into something fierce, strange, and deeply human.

Each track on this episode is a postcard. Each lyric a landmark. Each beat a brushstroke of Chile’s ever-shifting, soul-filled soundscape.

Because music? It’s not just what we hear—it’s where we go.

They say the blues is a ghost genre—faded into vinyl grooves and backroom dive bars. They say it’s been overtaken, out-streamed, and out-hyped by shinier sounds and algorithm-friendly beats.

But let me tell you something, fam... the blues didn’t fade. It just lit a cigarette, leaned against the amp, and watched the world catch up.

This is Episode 94 of Overlooked Tracks, and this time around, we’re not just spinning records—we’re testifying. We’re tuning in to a genre that’s not just alive... but kicking with fresh boots and electric grit.

The DNA of the blues is everywhere—threaded through rock, soaked into soul, sampled in hip-hop, and sizzling inside Americana like being served some southern fried kitchen on a hot sunny day.

Festivals are booking blues acts again. Venues are filling up. And young cats are out there bending notes with fresh pain and wild hope.

For this episode, we’re gonna take a ride—from Maxwell Street grit in Chicago to global groove. We're shining the spotlight on artists who are pushing the genre forward without forgetting where it came from.

Because the blues? The blues is not some museum relic. It’s a living, growling, adaptable spirit. It changes suits, but never loses its edge.

Now turn that volume up. It’s time to feel the weight and the wonder... of the blues!

🎙️ Episode 93 – Keybeaux: Hustle, Heart & Harmony

What’s good, everyone? You’re tuning into the 93rd episode of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast, where the rhythm speaks louder than algorithms and real stories echo past the charts.
I’m your host, Kenny Chiba — your MC on this never-ending search for soul-stirring sound and sonic truth.

For this episode, I had the honor of connecting directly with a creative powerhouse who’s been making major moves behind the mic and behind the boards — Michael Burton, better known as Keybeaux. Through a one-on-one phone conversation, we got real about his journey: from humble beginnings to becoming a self-made artist, entrepreneur, and sound architect. The energy was electric, the insight was deep, and the inspiration? Off the charts.

Rapper. Songwriter. Producer. Engineer. Visionary. Keybeaux doesn’t just make music — he builds movements. And in this convo, he shared his grind, his growth, and the gems that remind us why betting on yourself is the real blueprint.

So press play and settle in. Because this episode isn’t just about listening — it’s about learning from a leader who's building his legacy in real time.

🎷 Midnight’s Favorite Color: Jazz - From Smoky Dive Bars to Outer Space Symphonies—Where the Groove Stays Eternal 🎷

A sonic postcard from the corners of jazz you never knew you needed.

Yo, what’s good everyone? You just tuned in to the Overlooked Tracks—where the sounds you didn’t know you needed become the beats you’ll never forget. I’m Kenny Chiba, your guide through the grooves less traveled.
And today, we’re gliding into jazz—where smoky skylines meet poetic freedom.

Welcome back, rhythm seekers and crate diggers—this is the Overlooked Tracks, Episode 91, and I’m your host, Kenny Chiba, and this time around we’re riding a global groove that swings smooth and rhymes sharp. We’re dipping the mic in brass and vinyl, flowing with the spirit of Jazz Rap and Hip Hop that knows no borders.

From smoky street corners in Prague to rooftop jam sessions in California, U.S.A. this episode is a sonic passport into the soul of jazz-infused hip hop—a genre where the kick drum swings and the saxophone testifies. We’re talking MPC board meets Miles Davis, boom bap with a blue note twist, and lyricism that sips espresso with Coltrane.

This is the spiritual follow-up to Episode 90, but now the basslines walk, the samples breathe, and the flow is as cool as Thelonious Monk in mid-solo.
So sit back, lean in—We Got the Jazz. We Got the Jazz.

Let’s press play on something timeless.

What’s good, everyone? You just touched down where the pavement talks and the bassline breathes — welcome to the neighborhood of rhythm and rebellion.

This is Overlooked Tracks, and you’ve just stepped into Episode 90 — a milestone moment, a lyrical landmark, a cipher in time dedicated to the kings and queens of cadence, rhythm, and raw production.

This time around we ride the pulse of hip hop, rap, and producer maestros — those behind-the-boards alchemists and mic-slaying storytellers who turn pain, pride, and poetry into pure gold.

Welcome to Episode 89 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast—hosted by me, Kenny Chiba. 🎸🔥

This time, we’re turning the dial all the way up and diving into the thunderous world of rock music—from the underground legends of the past to the genre-benders shaping its future. This episode is for the headbangers, the riff chasers, and anyone who knows that a good guitar solo can speak louder than words.

We’re talking indie rock with bite, heavy metal that hits like a freight train, and the intricate brilliance of Japanese math rock that’ll leave going bananas. But we’re not just about what’s new—we’re also paying homage to overlooked rock from history that still hits just as hard today. These are the tracks that time tried to forget, but couldn’t silence.

Whether it’s a fuzz-drenched riff from a ‘70s deep cut or a genre-pushing banger from a present-day band on the rise, this episode is proof that rock—real, gut-punching, soul-shaking rock—is timeless.

So lace up your boots, plug in your air guitar, and get ready to feel the feedback. This is Episode 89 of Overlooked Tracks, where the past and present collide in glorious volume. My name is Kenny Chiba and again this is the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. 🤘🎶💥

After an incredible experience in Singapore with IAMTHEONEMANGANG on the Live in the Lab podcast for episode #85, I almost forgot I had another journey lined up—this time to the captivating Kingdom of Spain. It was my first visit back since the early days of the COVID pandemic, and I was eager to immerse myself once again in Spain’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and mouthwatering cuisine. While the Magical Music Bus stayed in Singapore under good care, I traveled from Southeast Asia to the heart of Europe, ready to uncover more hidden musical treasures.

Alright, folks, buckle up because we’re taking a special trip to Singapore on this episode of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast!

What's up, everyone? This is Kenny Chiba, and welcome to episode #83 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. Today, I’ve got some Alternative and Indie Pop lined up for you. Normally, I'd be heading off to a new destination around the world to bring you music from different regions, but life had other plans—I ended up catching COVID and was down for about a week and a half. It all started while I was in Tokyo, where I found an amazing record shop in the Harajuku district. If you want to check out what I picked up, just head over to my Instagram, @overlookedtracks.

I was super pumped about the vinyl I scored, but once I got home—COUGH, COUGH—I started feeling awful and spent the next few days in bed, like a sick dog. Still not 100%, but I'm well enough to bring you some killer tracks today, ones you might have overlooked, and to shine a light on some incredible artists out there making waves in the music universe.

The past few months have been wonderfully lazy, with the summer heat making it hard to get much done. Life gets so busy during this season, both personally and professionally. But one thing that has kept me going is music. Music is such an inspiring force, especially when things get tough and hard to navigate. For me, your host of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast, Kenny Chiba, life without music would be, well, quite dull.

Just like in episode #81, we’re keeping it simple and pure with sounds you might have heard before or perhaps new artists showcasing their talents. Either way, the music will be fresh, and as you let these vibes wash over you, feel free to reach out to the artists and ask for more. It’s straightforward and to the point.

In this episode, we're stripping things down and focusing on what truly matters: the music. There's something powerful about simplicity, about cutting through the noise and distractions to get to the heart of what we're here for—the sound, the rhythm, the melody that moves us. By keeping it simple, we're allowing the music to speak for itself, to take center stage without any unnecessary frills or complications. This approach not only highlights the raw beauty of the tracks we’re sharing but also reminds us of why we fell in love with music in the first place. It's about connecting with the essence of sound, the emotions it evokes, and the stories it tells.

On a personal level, keeping it simple is also a way to find peace within ourselves. Life can be chaotic, filled with demands, stress, and endless to-do lists. By simplifying our focus—whether it's in music or in life—we can create a space where we can breathe, reflect, and reconnect with what brings us joy. It’s about letting go of the unnecessary and embracing what truly matters, finding harmony in the basics. By doing so, we not only enhance our appreciation for the music but also cultivate a sense of calm and contentment within ourselves.

"The G-Funk Era" emerged in the early 1990s on the West Coast, particularly in California, and made a significant mark in hip-hop history. This period introduced the unique subgenre of G-Funk, blending elements from funk, R&B, and gangsta rap. Its influence extended beyond music and had a lasting impact on both the hip-hop genre and popular culture.

G-Funk's signature sound is defined by its use of funky instrumentation, including groovy basslines, lush synthesizers, and talk box effects, all reminiscent of 1970s funk music. This blend creates a smooth and laid-back quality that sets G-Funk apart from other hip-hop styles.

Dr. Dre played a central role in shaping the G-Funk Era, with his 1992 album "The Chronic" being a cornerstone of the subgenre's definition. Other artists like Snoop Dogg and Warren G also made significant contributions, producing iconic tracks celebrated for their catchy hooks and the seamless fusion of funk-inspired instrumentals with rap lyrics.

The G-Funk Era's influence endures, with contemporary hip-hop and rap artists drawing inspiration from its unique sound, style, and thematic content.

To the dedicated listeners of the Overlooked Tracks podcast, I want to share that this summer has posed significant challenges for me personally. Shortly after the release of episode #53, I encountered illness, pain, and heartache, creating a rather unfavorable experience. During this time, I gained clarity about the individuals I could truly rely on; those who stood by me during this temporary setback and those who merely made empty assurances. This eye-opening period reinforced the notion that life is a continuous learning journey. Despite the years that have shaped my existence up to this point, each experience imparts new lessons, highlighting the essence of perpetual learning and growth.

Upon learning of the recent passing of the renowned Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto, I felt an undeniable urge to make a pilgrimage to Brazil, a place that holds a profound significance in my musical journey. Astrud's enchanting melodies introduced me to the mesmerizing world of Brazilian Jazz and jazz in general, leaving an indelible mark on my soul.

Her ethereal sounds served as a guiding light during a time when I was lost and seeking solace. Music became my sanctuary, slowly and surely helping me heal, and Astrud Gilberto played an integral role in that transformative process. Her artistry not only gifted me with beautiful compositions but also aided me in understanding myself as an individual.

While I may not have explored every song she released, the ones I did hear were enough to instill a sense of healing within me, complemented by the support of a loving family and true friends. And so, without delay, I embark on a musical journey through the heart of Brazil, dedicated to honoring the profound impact Astrud has had on my life through her magnificent music.

As I traverse the melodies and rhythms of this enchanting country, I pay homage to the late Astrud Gilberto, whose legacy will forever be etched in the hearts of music lovers around the world. Her gift to us, this exquisite music, will continue to inspire generations to come, and I am forever grateful to have been touched by her artistry.

The Magical Music Bus is making a pit stop in the country of Thailand, where you can find beaches, historic palaces and some really spicy food. Speaking of spicy food, we got some spicy music for your soul being displayed by 4 artists residing in Thailand and this time around now, I, Kenny Chiba, podcaster for the Overlooked Tracks Podcast will be going radio silent for the most of the 52nd episode. In other words, Music to your Ears!!

Argentina is known for its outstanding and oh so beautiful landscapes, the welcoming atmosphere of the people of Argentina, their foods and wine (especially their meats and wine and you can get fat and drunk very quickly because is it oh so good, and you just can’t stop. Argentina is also known for its gorgeous dance of tango and most importantly, without the fine music being played in this country, there is no tango. It’s sort of a package deal.

Being on the road again is a damn good feeling to visit different lands, wondering carefree (especially from the threat of COVID-19) and exploring new and unique music. This time, the Overlooked Tracks Podcast is on the Magical Music Bus and now is discovering the country of Indonesia, a land of "Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one". Many cultures, languages and food (if you’re a foodie like me) can be seen, heard and eaten in this great country in South East Asia. Take a trip to experience it for yourself and along the way, bring your headphones and of course your ears to discover the many vibes Indonesia can bring to your musical soul.

I was having a conversation with someone and the subject was Japanese animation or simply “anime” and I was learning more about anime from the conversation than I could ever thought of. I’m a casual fan of the art form and interested in learning more about the fascination and popularity of anime. Damn, I have a lot to learn because there is SO MUCH to see. I did however discover the connection between Japanese anime and music – how appropriate because of course this is the Overlooked Tracks podcast - a music podcast.

Come to find out there’s music to be listened and a music genre folks need to pay attention to, especially if they’re big fans of anime and even if you’re not a big fan, the Anison music genre may be a good start for you to learn more about the music and anime. Maybe you can call it “Killing two birds with one stone”.

Please Note: Bump Music was from the following album and music artist: Album: Eternal Youth / Artist: Rude. Please go to the following link to find more music from this artist:

From the words of Herbie Hancock - the jazz maestro himself, being in the moment is the best way to stay in the now, keep your feet set on the present time and just being in peace with yourself and your surroundings. Just like the words I uttered, the music genre of Jazz can keep your mood stable, because you yourself may understand that life can take you on a trip to confusion and a couple of episodes of “AS THE WORLD TURNS” (if you understand about the so-called phenomenon of the American Soap Opera) comes into play. This is where Jazz comes in, not with the continuous analyzing of things, but the opposite, the tapping into the mind and finding your simple and your harmony within your spirit.

In order to assist you on that search of tranquility, these four tracks of Jazz will certainly guide you to greatness. Similar to the last episode on mental stability, we will focus on the spirit.

Have you ever had a moment when so many things and events and situations happen all at the same time and you feel overwhelmed to the point where you just freeze and hide in a corner or somewhere so no one can see you? Well, I don’t know about you but life can really get in the way for you to make progress and continue on with your journey to a good life both in the spiritual sense and the physical form. This episode of the Overlooked Tracks podcast will focus on the mental. Mental stability, mental greatness and mental peace just to name a few. My name is Kenny Chiba and again this is the Overlooked Tracks podcast and we will start episode #47 with a band and a smooth soul singer telling a story of keeping it simple, keeping it special and keeping it pure because life can be rough and it may put you on your ass, but each of us have the power to get back up, dust ourselves off and fight for what you truly believe and love.

Springtime, Springtime, Springtime!! Hopefully it’s warming up for you at your location and you begin to feel the joy of Spring in many parts of the globe!! From Springtime parties to Cherry blossom flowers (like many of them appear right here in Japan) to getting ready for baseball (that’s if you’re a fan of the sport), to spring cleaning the crib to make it shine, shine, shine. Get ready to move around and awake from being hibernated during the winter because the Overlooked Tracks podcast has some great music for your soul and we will hit you with some solid soul music flavored joints from some heavy hitters in the soul music genre.

Happy 2023 and happy Season #4 for the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. First things first, thank you very much for listening to this podcast, where we find music artists that are worth your time, your attention and your support in order to support this valuable art form called music and music is what the Overlooked Tracks Podcast will provide. Our aim is to provide the listener as much attention to artists we find at a worldwide view. Along the way, we hope you support this valuable podcast by telling others how this podcast can benefit the lover of music. We will be changing it up in comparing from the previous 3 seasons and we want to focus on the music artists being featured on the Overlooked Tracks Podcast for you to get familiar and eventually you becoming a fan of the artist.

What’s up everyone! Really hope you enjoyed episode #40 and the heavy hitters displaying their great art called music and also for you to support those artists along with each and every artist showcasing their contributions to the world. The Overlooked Tracks Podcast has discovered or rediscovered 8 genuine music artists that will close out the year 2022. It has been an interesting, intensive and sometimes impossible to believe in moments we’ve viewed, heard or experienced through the year 2022, but the most important about the travel through the year is that you made it out alive, hopefully in better health physically and mentally and wealthy in knowledge, experience, more money in your bank account and in the picking of great music. As far as great music, we confidently believe the Overlooked Tracks Podcast was a contributor in you finding, enjoying and support the artists you have in your music library.

I said on episode #39 that I need to determine if another trip on the magical music bus is required. That has been decided and I am staying my butt at the Genre Media Group Studios (our parent company) because it’s cold outside and gas is expensive for the moment because the world economy is getting back into the swings of things, but unfortunately many things have been rising in pricing.

Then came the perfect music genre to celebrate the 40th episode of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast and this time we’re celebrating the BOOM-BAP sounds of TRIP-HOP. Trying to find a good way to describe this music genre because most websites I found all stated the same thing: Trip-Hop is dead!! Just like other music genres from previous episodes, music is not dead unless the world decides not to hear it anymore!! Well, I found six music artists that says otherwise - Trip Hop is alive and thriving and a reemerged form of the music is here to demonstrate its power. Thanks to the masters of Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky and DJ Krush (just to name a few), displaying the maestros of sounds, lyric and beats of Trip Hop.

What’s up everyone! Really hope you enjoyed the Moment we had on Episode #38. Again, we’re heading to the end of the year and the podcast desires to keep it upbeat as much as possible with great music for your musical pleasure. This time, we’re going to experiment on some experimental music from six artists that will make you seize the moment and take interest on experimental music. Whether it’s meditation, spinning the mind with new ideas, or actually want to try out something new, these 6 tracks can get you going on the right path.

We’re about to go in the opposite direction from the last episode of steady, rhythmic and bluesy to the HYPE, SERIOUSLY INTENSE and about to go HEAD-BANGER OFF SOME EDM or Electronic Dance Music and a sample or two of Techno (which is an element of EDM nowadays). My name is Kenny Chiba and this is an Overlooked Tracks Moment. Haven’t done one of these episodes in a while because it is SO MUCH MUSIC to cover all around the world, but it’s definitely needed to touch on some serious EDM.

We're gonna tell you right now, this collection of music for this 37th episode of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast is a most difficult episode, and I am know for sure there are some of the greats in Blues Music that will be left out of this list of blues music for the podcast.

After juggling for weeks on what to do with the selection, it was decided the best way to display this fine music genre is to give you a dab of what Blues Music is today – the foundation of great sound and give you again a portion on what Blues Music is heading. If these picks are indication of the future of Blues Music, the music genre is in good hands.

Once again, this selection is not a list of the greatest of all time, which is SO impossible to do and such a waste of time, but we’re just going to display a small sample of sound we believe you should get some interest in and see where the rabbit hole can take you.

Welcome again to the Overlooked Tracks podcast and welcome to a form of sharing music for all to experience something special. We’re not trying to be the flashy music podcast many may “temporary” enjoy, our goal is to simply provide an experience you can use for the long term, to cherish quality music for years to come.

The Overlooked Tracks podcast is back home after exploring the great lands of Central Asia and the Middle East discovering such awesome music for you to listen, share and enjoy. Now along with that experience of understanding the greatness of that part of the globe, let us have focus on the outstanding vibes, melody, lyrics, and everything else of what women in music brings to the world. Making a strong case from our past focus of women music artists in episode #12, this episode and the next will take you on a journey of music the better half of the human race, the intelligent, the more talented and of course the more beauty these and many more music artists bring to the airwaves and the internet. In other words, women in this art form called music simply brings grace we all need in our lives.

The magical music bus is on its last trip to the areas of the Middle East and Central Asia and what was found was gold and it was an inspiring trip because of the experience gained from the three episodes broadcasted throughout the globe dedicated to the music being displayed by these artists. Also learned so much history on the importance of music in this part of the world and what type of importance it has this current time.

Though it took some digging into the music crates in order to find the music tracks, but again like I stated in the last episode, I am glad I did and that makes it easy for you to simply listen and adore.

I must tell you that this has been a rough ride in the magical music bus through Central Asia and the Middle East this time around. From the constant digging in the music crates of record shops (both online and the physical stores), that was an adventure in itself. I am telling you ladies and gentlemen, when I tell you there are tons of music in the world, THERE ARE LITERALLY tons of music to discover. From this experience, I, Kenny Chiba am certainly happy to dig and dig and dig some more and communicate with some great musicians desiring to share their craft with the world. Hence, the reason of the Overlooked Tracks podcast – To display and help enhance your music library with music you’ve simply been overlooking.

Hello everyone and welcome to the 32nd episode of the Overlooked Tracks podcast and we are back on the magical music bus focusing on areas like central And southeast Asia and the Middle East and I would honestly say this trip has been quite bumpy. Reason is because though there is so much music in this part of the world, it was hard to buy the music in order to share the music being found. So I had to change it up a little to play music that was made or inspired from the music in Other parts of Asia and the Middle East.

Folk Music, like passing family traditions from generation to generation is genuine, pure, brings tranquility to the heart and soul and brings meaning to the human spirit. Songs being handed down among people of community to share and of course to enjoy. The world seems as though it is in chaos, but all in all it is each and every one of us possesses the power to change ourselves in order to change the things around us.

Welcome again to the Overlooked Tracks podcast and welcome to another form of groove, smooth and moving music. Welcome to tracks of the Rhythm and Blues Music Genre and these picks for the 30th episode of the Overlooked Tracks podcast are so smooth, and you will need to play this episode again just to see how tight these artists really are, and then go and purchase their music art and play them over and over.

We bring you a podcast to explore deeper into the world of music, a place where you can simply enjoy without outside influences to enjoy good music and the only influence you should have is from us – Overlooked Tracks, a source where you find music you might be overlooking.

We’re continuing this groove theory of music starting from the 28th episode of Funk, the 29th from some flaming Hip Hop and now the 30th with true rhythm, true soul, and true inspiring sound.

First up – Happy 2022!! It is happy to start the year on a positive note: A new year, looking forward to growth of the mind and spirit to explore the world of more music, and to share the discoveries with you, the listener to this podcast and this podcast is called the Overlooked Tracks Podcast!!

A very small sample of a very energetic, very historic, very fun to listen, and very World-wide music genre of Rap & Hip Hop. Again, a hard mission to explore and pick and choose and this episode only touches the surface and hopefully, just hopefully you can have an enjoyable experience on exploring this kind of music without passing judgement, just like all of the rest of the music genres being played on this podcast.

Music is here on earth to enjoy and join people, not to separate and degrade. Start the new year off with an open mind and soul and see where it can take you. You’ll be surprised. Just one of missions of the Overlooked Tracks podcast – One music, One Genre, One Love.

As we’re winding down the year of 2021 and describing this year as another turbulent one for many. Hopefully episode #27 woke you up and gain some power with the rock artists again displayed great sounds on the Rock music Genre. This time, the Overlooked Tracks Podcast will help you dance the year away with the great vibes of Funk Music and if you’re listening to this podcast, you have permission to dance, to feel free and to say one thing: You are still on this earth to enjoy the great music the Overlooked Tracks Podcast displays.

This time, we have found six music artists we think you should take an interest and in turn get you more interested in how deep the funk music rabbit-hole can go.

My name is Kenny Chiba and this is the OVERLOOKED TRACKS PODCAST – Your guide to discover great music that is simply being overlooked. Your ears will not play tricks on you because your ears will thank you for listening to this podcast. The past, present, and future music played on this podcast will stimulate the mind and soul and for you, the listener to belief there so much to realize in the music universe.

We’re are back from being on the road and it’s time to finish the year 2021 strong. One way to finish strong is to pay your attention to these music maestros of the rock music genre here on the 27th episode of the Overlooked Tracks podcast. This podcast is your guide helping you enjoy these Rock Gems being discovered or rediscovered and to support their art these musicians gifted to the world. Their aim is steady with a perfect beat, chord, and lyric and again these rock tracks you’re about to hear will again give you that boost you need to finish the year with strength, courage and focus. Many people think that the Rock Genre is a dead. Well, once you complete this 27th episode of the Overlooked Tracks podcast, you will definitely realize the Rock Genre is not dead, but has reformed into an innovative and catchy sound while staying with the edgy and sharp cuts of the guitar, drums and lyrics of rock.

Welcome to Part 2 of the African Journey of the Overlooked Tracks Episode, in other words – Episode #26. We have a hot set of tracks to display the finely tuned, uniquely made, smooth to the groove of the music artists from the continent of Africa. This is an exciting time to give you boundless music you may have overlooked, and it’s time for you to recognize the greatness music can bring in your life, and I’m not talking cookie cutter music where it’s here today and gone tomorrow. I must tell you that it’s really worth your time to do some ear hustling and get very familiar on these tracks from these and other music artists on this podcast.

My name is Kenny Chiba and this is the OVERLOOKED TRACKS PODCAST – Your guide to discover great music that is simply being overlooked. Your ears will not play tricks on you because your ears will thank you for listening to this podcast. The past, present, and future music played on this podcast will stimulate the mind and soul and for you, the listener to belief there so much to realize in the music universe.

The Overlooked Tracks podcast is back on the road and this time we are exploring the land where the beat, rhythm and style of music began, The continent of Africa. I need to get this out of the way now and apologize for the long absence because there were so many tracks to choose resulting in one the hardest podcast episode we’ve done at this point. It was overwhelming on choosing songs for the podcast because there’s tons of music that’s connected with each country in Africa and it kicked my ass a bit on choosing them.

It is summer time, or in several parts of the world, summer is coming to an end, but other parts of the globe summertime is about to begin. Either way - it's hot, people can’t go anywhere because of the coronavirus and about that one, like I always say: WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER, so if we want to enjoy things that life has to offer, each of us need to do our fair share to REALLY bypass this crazy mess we are in. Yep, this experience we are experiencing is crazy as hell, but just like the last episode while we are taking deep breaths and washing our worries away at the Chill Laundry Lounge, let’s take a listen to some summertime jazz music with 5 specially picked music artists to hopefully calm this storm called a world pandemic.

What’s up everyone and welcome to the Chill Laundry Lounge where you can wash your worries away and listen to some chill music and just simply lounge. Decided to do the podcast in the neighborhood Laundry Mat and get some clothes washed and again to wash my worries away so I can chill, focus on my mental state or meet new people or old friends. The Chill laundry Lounge can be a good place to listen to the machines wash clothes and in a way a form of meditation. This time, we invite you to listen to the sounds of you and me and we and us.

Now that the Overlooked Tracks podcast is taking a break from traveling and give the magical musical bus a good tune-up, it’s time to give a music genre some exposure and try to move away from a label that country music has possessed for a long time and try to simply move away from that not so good label and reputation of the past. When exploring this genre and connected with some music artists on social media, it is for sure that country music has got a bad rap. Opening up the mind up a bit and taking steps to learn about country music can help you learn one thing: THERE SOME DAMN GOOD MUSIC OUT THERE!! It took a bit, but now we will present to you 5 music artists that are seriously worth a listen and for you, the listener to support these and many more country music artists as much as possible. No, I won’t get on a horse and ride into the sunset – I’m sitting on my big butt for this episode and give you gems, courtesy of the Overlooked Tracks podcast.

It is time to get back on the magical music and explores more jewels in music with part 2 of the Asian Excursion – also called Episode #21 of the Overlooked Tracks podcast. My name is Kenny Chiba and I had to reorganize the arrangement of this podcast because to tell it truthfully, it was overwhelming to get all types of music from the Asian Continent between episodes 20 and 21. I had to pump the brakes and come to realize that I will continue to do my best to provide you the very best at music that’s being overlooked, but I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP on finding musical gems, so go to www.overlookedtracks.com/contact to give feedback and suggestions on music, go to Twitter and looked “OVERLOOKEDTRAX” to Direct Message me and guide me to a direction where great music is being buried and needs to be dug up and give life to the rest of us. Music is the source of expression, the source of both mental and physical power and most of all to sooth the soul of the beauty and the beast. In other words, Music should be simply shared throughout our lives to live the best lives we can.

As we are on the Overlooked Tracks Music Bus traveling to several destinations of The Philippines, Singapore, India and the Russian Federation and my goodness this has been a ride to journey on because there is music all over the place, an adventure to both listen to traditional and modern type of music. Yes, it has been difficult to pick, which is what makes the trip even more pleasurable to take – to seek, explore and discover sounds from the Music Universe, which indeed is a very BIG place and again simply to live the best life with music as much as possible with the many MANY SOUNDS, RHYTHMS AND BEATS.

We are back on the road to our next destination and these set of tracks for episode #19 can be described by one word – MOTIVATION. Tracks 1 and 2 are for the motivation of love, togetherness, and staying focused on each other during moments in life. Track 3 is simply telling you to keeping it real and stop standing still when you got to live and it’s all a big game but the difference is how you play the field!! In others words – GET OFF YOUR ASS AND LIVE YOU AND LIVE THE BEST OF YOU!!

It’s a pleasure to be with you again for another edition of the Overlooked Tracks podcast. It’s time to display some artists from the country of Korea. Many people around the globe think the only type of music coming out of Korea is K-Pop music, which is fine and much success to the singers and singer groups, but if you look a little deeper, you can find some diamonds from singers contributing to the music universe and you need to listen what these artists have to offer and they offer plenty.

For this chapter of the Overlooked Tracks podcast, we packed up again on the Overlooked Tracks Music Bus and fly (yes the bus can fly – Never seen a flying bus before?) to the country of Korea to find some gold (besides K-POP music, which everyone in the world knows something about the sensation of K-POP). Naw Man, Overlooked Tracks is in the search of hidden gold from other Korea artists providing sounds for the soul and not just for the fame and revenue. But first, wanted to display some artists you need to listen to and recognize of the music art these artists bring to the music universe. Two of them I wanted to play for a while now and now is the opportunity, and one is a returning artist from the first season and she is rocking it with a new release. Let’s get started before I started one of my habits again – Talking too much from the excitement with these Overlooked Tracks artists!!

KONINCHIWA MINA-SAN or Welcome everyone to season #2 of the Overlooked Tracks podcast where your music search has ended here with flavor tracks from around the world and beyond from artists you may have overloooked!! This podcast will display musical artists that compose and produce such great sounds and make you say WHAT HAVE I BEEN OVERLOOKING!? As we finished the first season of Overlooked Tracks, we start this path of music searching in the country of Japan – Hopefully the next host of the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Due to Corona-Virus that stopped time pretty much everything in 2020, let’s send a couple of prayers to the Olympic Gods to hold the games this 2021 year. When that happens, the place will go ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!!

The Overlooked Tracks Podcast is back home in Japan and it’s getting cold!! Winter has come and the only thing that’s warm are tracks found and they’re SERIOUSLY HOT TO LISTEN TO AND HAVE THEM AS PART OF YOUR MUSIC COLLECTION. We’re taking a break from the traveling and rightfully so, because it’s time to display the true power of the Japanese music artist – from silky smooth beauty to taking time to chill and don on the headphones to realizing that the year 2020 – Life is Like a Movie. Stand by for some organic sounds from some organic artists.

What’s up everyone and welcome once again to part 2 of the Australian Expedition of the Overlooked Tracks podcast, where we find sounds you may have overlooked in the music universe. As we dig through the record crates and play some sounds from some special artists of the Australian continent, let us remind each other to enjoy the moments we have even though this has been one year to remember for the history books, one thing we can enjoy is listening to music in order for you to get through your day and hopefully you will get through on a high note. Share sounds and joys and whatever else that makes you feel free and pleased with someone like a loved one or someone that needs a little loving. Remember, we all need each other!! Your podcast host Kenny Chiba will take you on a magical journey through the musical journey with artists making great music. As we get closer to the end of the first season of Overlooked Tracks, hopefully this episode will supply you with a ton of sounds, lyrics and melodies and hopefully can you start your expedition to discover more of what Australia can provide for you. GREAT MUSIC!! You can find links to all of the musical artist’s material and purchase them through our website: https://www.overlookedtracks.com/episode/14 for your musical pleasure. Each link will take you to where you can purchase each track and add them to your music collection. Overlooked Tracks is on a mission to provide quality music for your eardrums and for you, the listener to spread the word on each and every artist being displayed on Overlooked Tracks.

The Overlooked Tracks Podcast has made it to the great Continent of Australia where the music scene is seriously on point with its genuine feeling of musicians providing top rated tracks from many genres, pure enjoyment of their creations of music and just having some good ole fashioned fun to help you enjoy the day. Several places in Australia displays music and song that’s inseparable in Indigenous cultures and part of unbroken traditions dating back thousands of years. In the twentieth and 21st centuries, carrying the traditions of Indigenous musicians played a vibrant role in defining Australia’s modern music identity, in building bridges with the broader Australian community, and in actively contributing to our cultural expression internationally. Contemporary indigenous music embraces all genres from folk and roots to blues, rock, pop, hip hop and classical forms. Just another example of learning from a culture’s past and accept, embracing and enjoying a culture’s future. Just another tool for you to enjoy what’s available in life, and music itself should be a big part of your life, which this podcast called The Overlooked Tracks Podcast, desires so much to be a part of your journey to find and enjoy great music from various places around the world.

As we are on the Overlooked Tracks Music Bus traveling to next destination of Australia, and wanted to take a break from the ride and share discoveries made you really need to listen to and tell your friends and listen some more and tell your friends again about the gems you hear on the Overlooked Tracks podcast. My name is Kenny Chiba and I am here to tell to SEIZE THE DAY with the music you will hear and feeling you’ll receive from the smooth, relaxed, and funky sounds on this line-up we have for you on this episode of the podcast.

Thanks for coming back to chapter 2 of the European music tour of Overlooked Tracks. While traveling on the musical bus through this great continent called Europe, I gave myself a headache due to the constant researching of amazing beats, melodies, rhythms, and sounds. Then I come to realize I already had bangin music in my music collection that represents the essence of the European version of the music universe. Featuring artists for Chapter Two of the European Union of Sound: Dave from the United Kingdom, COCO Bryce from the Netherlands and AntiGama from Warsaw, Germany, Profile Spin is Clara Hill from Berlin, Germany, Jazzanova also from Berlin, Remi from Australia featuring Jordan Rakei, Special Appearance of Misty Oldland from the U.K.

Welcome once again to another edition of the Overlooked Tracks podcast, where we find sounds you may have overlooked in the music universe. We are currently in Europe where Gems of music were discovered and from being here in Europe, a few things made me recognize on why Europe is the place to dig into the record crates and TAKE NOTICE: 1. The history of Europe and the beautiful sounds that each of the countries of what the world calls Europe. 2. How much of an influence the United States and Asian music scene has when being in Europe. 3. Most importantly, the people that bring the sounds your heart and soul will concentrate when hearing what comes out to the atmosphere of Europe – EVERYTHING FROM HISTORIC CLASSICAL SOUNDS TO THE THICK BEATS OF HIP HOP TO ROCK. Welcome once again to another edition of the Overlooked Tracks podcast, where we found sounds you may have overlooked in the music universe. #pop #edm #electronic #ambient #chillwave #hip hop #rap #disco #funk #HouseMusic #Sammelsurium #Drum & Bass #Rock #Rock alternative #Trap

Welcome once again to the Overlooked Tracks Podcast, where we find sounds you may have overlooked in the music universe. Overlooked Tracks found some material along the way of going to the next destination, the European Union where there’s tons upon tons of priceless music to choose from. During the journey, wanted to take it easy and share a collection of silky-smooth sounds from powerful artists in order to get my soul right and continue on with the journey to Europe. Overlooked Tracks found some material along the way to Europe: @ivanavenue #nowplaying @ValerieGhent @AlfaMist @zero7official (Twitter)

Featured Artists for the podcast: @mulaband_, @holabelafonte, @lilaikeja, and @oituyo. Also going back in time for some heavy hitters singing a great duet!! Found gold in the Caribbean and Latin American region and this is only Part 1. Part 2 of the Caribbean and Latin American podcast tour with these featured artists: @Thalmafreitas, @elzarmusica, @soyjuanamolina, @bareto, @RealBlackUhuru, @HavanaDePrimera (Twitter).

We are in the Caribbean and Latin American region of the globe and found gems from music artists you may have overlooked. No, this trip is not a magical mystery tour and waiting to take me away because there is no mystery that great music does exist here in this part of the globe – you need to have a guide like Overlooked Tracks to point you in that direction!! Featured Artists for the podcast: @mulaband_, @holabelafonte, @lilaikeja, and @oituyo. Also going back in time for some heavy hitters singing a great duet!! Found gold in the Caribbean and Latin American region and this is only Part 1.

During this break from traveling through the music universe, I discovered two artists a while ago and come to realize I overlooked these two artists and promised myself I will do whatever I can and play these songs to help contribute on the music art they create. Like I stated on the last episode, so many artists to choose from and you can get easily confused on who to listen to. Not trying to play the GOOGLE ROLE, but Overlooked Tracks will do all we can to promote music artists making fine-tuned songs and sharing them to the globe. Featured Artists for the podcast: @lolaladae and @XAlfonsoOficial (Twitter). Resting my feet before I hit the music universe again!!

For this chapter of the Overlooked Tracks podcast, we packed the gear, strapped up the boots and headed to North America and when you’re talking about music, it’s the name of the game in this part of the globe. Tons and tons of great songs to choose from and with an equal amount of artists in North America, oh my goodness it’s been a task to capture genuine rhythms for this episode. Featured Artists for the podcast: @DocMaD(Facebook)@MaggieKoerner,@JoomanjiMusic,@LuizSantosMusic(Twitter)and a dedication to Bill Withers.

Another Overlooked Track Moment and this time while packing up for another trip to the music universe, needed to find a heavy hitter with an awesome beat and a motivating song and artist to keep focused and looked no further a perfect city of the Blues - CHICAGO: The CITY OF THE BIG SHOULDERS and thought of the perfect blues artist that fits that description - MELODY ANGEL.

On this episode of the Overlooked Tracks, we captured tracks from premiere artists from the country of Japan. The Land of the Rising Sun produced many of the world’s organic songs, music artists, and producers. Plus they will be hosting the next Olympic Games, which I’m sure the country will give the globe a true flavor of their culture!!

Here's a peek at what region of the world the Overlooked Tracks crew will focus on the next full episode. For this moment, we're focusing on the musical genre Enka, a Japanese form of music that some music enthusiasts consider the genre as Blues Music!! For the next episode, our line-up will play music from Japanese artists with smooth music giving their blend of great rhythm and sounds. Until the next episode.........Adore!!

On this debut episode of Overlooked Tracks, we're focusing on some great music that needs to be heard and spread throughout the music universe! We found tracks from Seba Kaapstad, Uriah Musique, AFTA-1, Aeson, and Hats Off It's Adequate and each are definitely worth listening!! Find out more about these artists on other social media platforms while you're enjoying these sounds of music!! Head to the website afterwards: https://www.overlookedtracks.com for more music news and info you may have overlooked. Adore!!

Sincerely,

Kenny Chiba
