1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

Well, I think I started collecting records back in 2003 shortly after I've started producing.  I was totally into Downbeat music at that time, labels like Ninja Tune and Tru Thoughts with artists like Quantic, Bonobo, Blockhead and TM Juke were right up my alley and I bought all their records. Around the same time I started producing. First I also did Downbeat music, but I quickly was getting into the Funk/Soul thing and released several records over the next decade. 2016 I somehow had enough of this sound and started working on Downbeat music again, because originally I wanted to release that kind of music when I was getting into music producing. In 2018 my first Keno album 'Around The Corner' was released, two years later the collaboration album 'Transatlantyk' I did with Tristan de Liège from Los Angeles was released. Later this year I will release a collection of remixes and one offs in the 'Out Past The Current' album and for 2022 I plan to release my third Keno studio album. After being more than a decade part of the electronic Funk/Soul scene it feels like coming home producing Downbeat music again. The last 5-6 years I started listening more and more to Downbeat music again and luckily there are great new albums released pushing this genre to the next level.

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

It's a nice and handy format, simple and short.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?  

Well the mix contains some old and some modern cuts, some live Band songs and some produced more beat driven tracks. I've tried to vary a bit between live and produced music trying to put them together.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music?

My music is on most of all platforms available, I like Bandcamp a lot. I also have a radio-show called 'Motor Jazz' every second Friday on Soho Radio London, but on the radio show I also play heavy club tunes, not just Downbeat, Electronica  and Jazz. I deejay ocassionally at the Mojo Jazz Café in Hamburg and sometimes on Festivals and clubs.

5) Top 5 all time fave records

With “all-time favourite” it's such a thing, I prefer making a Top 5 of Downbeat albums I listen a lot to at the moment:  

1) Tor 'Oasis Sky'
2) Catching Flies 'Silver Linings'
3) Teis Ortved 'Parks At Night'
4) Leon Vynehall “Nothing Is Still'
5) Amon Tobin 'Fear In A Handful Of Dust'

01. Rayko & Elena HIkari - Too Much  [Master]

Born from the silent pulse of the cosmos, light filters through the veils of shadow and unfolds into invisible forms. Horizons dissolve into constellations, and breath becomes the force that bends the firmament. Radiance flows like tides through the silence, cradling the last embers of distant suns. In the radiance of a dawn without beginning, time forgets its path and infinity opens its eyes.

Tholisse

Yoru’s latest release is a 30-track journey built for endless replay. Each song captures a different shade of the night from rain-slick streets and glowing skylines to quiet sunrise drives through an empty city. Lo-fi textures, subtle grooves, and warm analog tones keep you locked in, making it perfect for late-night studying, driving, or zoning out. With short, addictive runtimes and seamless transitions, this album flows like one continuous dream, designed to loop without breaking the mood.
