Kaoru Inoue also known as Chari Chari is a Japanese DJ and a music producer based in Tokyo. He has created many musical works and remixes and has performed at various nightclubs and outdoor rave parties in Japan and in many countries worldwide to pursue possibilities of dance music for over 3 decades. Kaoru Inoue’s new album ''Dedicated to the Island'' is based on a field recording at the UNESCO World Heritage Site ''Yakushima Island'' and was released previously as a CD supplement to a travel magazine called ''SAUNTER magazine''.The album is organic, tribal, and contains electronic and minimal ambient music.Biography: Kaoru Inoue is a DJ and a music producer based in Tokyo, who runs a label called 'Seeds And Ground'. From high school to early 20s, throughout the experience of being a guitarist in punk rock bands, in 1989 he first came across acid jazz and that led him to dive into DJ culture. Under the names of Kaoru Inoue and Chari Chari, he has created many musical works and remixes, and has performed at various indoor clubs and outdoor festivals to pursue possibilities of dance music through DJing. After many years of working as a DJ and producer in the Japanese dance music scene, in 2020, Kaoru Inoue finally has released a new album under 'Chari Chari' for the first time in 18 years, entitled 'We hear the last decades dreaming', a collection of organic-electronic compositions filled with an exotic design welling up in the middle of nowhere. Even after his 30-year career, his sound is still radical, yet universal and brightens up the scene.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
