Features rare 70’s Japanese jazz-funk and latin-jazz tracks, scarcely known and never before issued outside of Japan.

DIGGERS DOZEN presents it’s first compilation on BBE Music selected by Japan’s DJ MURO – King Of Diggin’. This exciting new release offers 12 stunning Japanese jazz-funk and latin-jazz gems which fuse Japanese traditional musical instruments and traditional melodies.

It’s original vinyl releases that these tracks featured on have become scarce and super rare for the Japanese collectors market and now these magnificent tracks are available outside of Japan for the first time on this killer compilation.
