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.

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 us.
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 PodcastWe let Anatolian psych, jazz fusion, and boundary-breaking hybrids rise — from Anatolian soil, through crowded bazaars, out into the cinematic sky.
