different way (prod. by nerfjayy)

Yutaka Fontaine is a dance music production duo from the majestic island of ‘Oahu, Hawai’i.  The pair had each carved out their own careers in the music/entertainment business, working on and off with each other throughout the past decade.

Like many others in the industry, Yutaka Fontaine found their world turned upside down in the midst of the pandemic, but during that period of silence, their sound was born.  

In late 2022, YF started showcasing their work through weekly remixes on SoundCloud, and when their remix of Teriyaki Boys’ Tokyo Drift, Ninjas in Tokyo, got some traction, they made the commitment to dive full-time into the music.  

Currently, YF is staying committed to their weekly releases, however, now it’s with an entirely original music catalog.  The sound ranges anywhere from indie pop, nu disco, tech house, progressive house, to break beats.  

So why the masks?  It’s always been about the music…  Themes of trying to deal with feeling self-conscious and insecure in an increasingly intrusive media based society resound through the records as Yutaka Fontaine invites you to share their sonic intimacy through the soundwaves.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Earth, a tiny blue planet on the outskirts of the Milky Way, lies silent, its cities in ruins, its people long gone. As a time traveller and musician, I am drawn to this world, to the echoes of a civilisation that reached for the stars but fell short, consumed by an ambition they could neither control nor fully understand.
Through my music, I seek to capture the essence of this lost era, particularly the turbulent times around 2070, when humanity's fate hung in the balance. Each song is a journey through time, a sonic exploration of the apocalyptic moments when everything changed, guided by the haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes that paint a vivid picture of a world on the brink of collapse.
As I wander through the abandoned streets and desolate landscapes, I find inspiration in the remnants of human culture - the unfinished symphonies in empty concert halls, the silence that hangs heavy in recording studios where hit songs were once crafted. The music becomes a conduit for the stories that linger in these spaces, tales of dreams pursued and hopes shattered.
In the rhythms of nature reclaiming the cities, I hear a powerful message - that all things must pass, that even the grandest of human achievements are impermanent. This truth resonates through my compositions, serving as a reminder of our own fragility and the need for humility in the face of the universe's vast mysteries.
Each track  is a warning, a cautionary tale wrapped in sound and emotion. They speak of the paths we may tread if we are not vigilant, the dreams that may crumble if we are not wise. Through music, I forge a connection that transcends time and space, inviting listeners to explore the echoes of a vanished world and heed the lessons hidden within.
Join me on this sonic odyssey through the remnants of Earth's final days, a journey that will leave you questioning our place in the cosmos and the legacy we leave behind. Let the music be your guide as we navigate the ruins of a civilisation that dared to dream big but ultimately succumbed to its own hubris - a fate we must strive to avoid as we venture forth into the unknown.
