RA.849 ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U by Resident Advisor published on 2022-09-08T15:16:39Z Depending on who you ask, Yousuke Yukimatsu is the best DJ in the world. Or at least in Japan. The eccentric Osaka-born, Tokyo-based DJ has built up an arsenal of fans and disciples—most famously Tzusing—who revere his cross-genre approach and knack for out-of-this-world blends. Case in point: he recently released a mostly ambient mixtape that somehow felt more gripping and propulsive than many techno DJ sets. He also used that release, Midnight Is Comin, to highlight Japan's underrepresented experimental electronic music scene, another sign of his wide-ranging and unusual tastes. To go with his voracious hunger for all kinds of music, Yukimatsu can play alll different kinds of sets, from the meditative to the peak-time, all with the blending ingenuity and expert pacing we've come to expect. Just check his mind-blowing Boiler Room set from 2020. If that performance was nightclub madness and Midnight Is Comin was a slowly unfurling coil of downcast textures and moods, then Yukimatsu's RA Podcast is something in-between. Over two captivating hours, Yukimatsu brings in beats only to jettison them, returning several times to artists like Palmistry, Tzusing and Ryo Murakami. He anchors the mix with familiar tracks and voices before letting it drift out to sea again. It's also deeply personal, focusing on tracks from people he played with at his Zone Unknown parties in Osaka and Kobe, as well as his friends who participated in Midnight Is Comin. Some of these blends need to be heard to believed. But more important is the pacing: the mix moves at such a slow but intuitive speed that it's almost tantric, the work of someone who knows how to keep the party going at a simmer without giving into the temptation to go faster. (He even says that the mix was supposed to be longer.) With hooky tracks from Palmistry and Equiknoxx up against explosions of noise and heavy EQing, Yukimatsu's RA Podcast is like dipping your head above and below water, soaking in and appreciating the beauty of both realms at once. @yousukeyukimatsu Read more at https://ra.co/podcast/849 Genre Techno Comment by Dr.Cactus cant 2024-05-09T15:38:31Z Comment by OggurChick nastyyy 2024-04-21T22:47:35Z Comment by Lana Amoeva hah? 2024-03-23T07:34:17Z Comment by Asbjoern cra 2024-02-08T20:49:01Z Comment by Lionguard we are great 2024-01-27T15:56:55Z Comment by george mofo sublime. 2024-01-26T16:38:22Z Comment by KAKUBO fff 2023-07-16T17:27:01Z Comment by Ivan Levchenko this man is special. thank you 2023-05-24T14:54:32Z Comment by Ole Koch mogee 2023-03-13T20:01:56Z Comment by sarj 🍉🍉🍉🍉 amazing journey thank uuuuu 2023-02-06T16:44:11Z Comment by Ryu Seiso 😈 samurai of techno 2023-01-19T17:02:39Z Comment by deru glorious mix 2022-10-06T14:45:07Z Comment by eranymph 🔥 2022-10-04T04:31:41Z Comment by Gurufish 🙏🏻 2022-09-29T06:54:11Z Comment by Errioxa Hot! 2022-09-22T09:33:49Z Comment by (((t h e y))) << <. < b l i p blip b l i p > .> >> 2022-09-21T19:13:26Z Comment by starka !!! 2022-09-19T14:55:30Z Comment by Marcellus Esq.
