DREAMING 007 : Flørist & Yuzo Iwata & Kaito

Yuzo Iwata aka Fabio, 50% Cubano, 50% Japanese, Karate blackbelt and DJ/producer, originally from the Iwata Juku Dojo in Japan and now based in Berlin, Yuzo shares with us his latest fascinations from dancefloor land. A rich and thoughtfully put together excursion throughout breakbeat, synthetic psychedelia, new beat and other stellar four-on-the-floor nuances. From working in some of Berlin's finest record stores (*wink*), Yuzo has clearly developed a relationship well beyond familiar with records in a wide range of genres - let this mix take you where you need to go.

Sound Metaphors Mix Series 03 : Yuzo Iwata

anyone can join the joy of joint, just choose a time and post ! #remotejoint

Passing it clockwise (15:57 - Fabio)

* INTERVIEW:  https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-yuzo-iwata/

Yuzo Iwata comes to the plate for another episode of ‘Mixed By’. Building from Ambient beginnings, Yuzo shows patience and skill in building his sound over the hour; swimming through his pool of genres past Dancehall, Acid and Trance along the way.

This same skillset is on play across his debut album, Kaizu, which recently dropped on Melbourne's Butter Sessions. Yuzo flexes his sound design muscles across the LP; Balearic textures, broken rhythms and a nod to Japanese video games and eighties fusion, his many influences are expressed with finesse across the full works. For me, Kaizu represents what it really must be like to live inside Yuzo’s head, and what a place it must be!

INTERVIEW.

MIXED BY/ Yuzo Iwata

Yuzo Iwata is back here on Trushmix, this time with and listening mix with a balearic touch. Shifting through different genres for a good blend of flax, listen, and something to get you moving.

A great after work mix, or something for the hot summer evenings! 
Enjoy!

Welcome Yuzo Iwata to the BSRMIX!

Our dear friend and creator of one of our favourite albums (biased?) of the year 'Kaizu' blesses us with a top-drawer mix that perfectly compresses his refined style into a one hour session. As a selector for multiple record stores including the infamous Sound Metaphors, the Berlin based 50% Cubano, 50% Japanese producer, DJ and karate blackbelt is an expert in the acidic, trippy and thoughtful strains of dance music. Scratch the surface with this mix and dig down deep!

We're stoked to drop the dope set by @fabio-konair, killing it with a vinyl-only DJ set recorded on a sunny summer day in the mystical maze of Berlin's rave scene.

THF Presents: neocortex echo w/ Yuzo Iwata // 01.11.24

As we welcome the beginning of 2025 and another year of music, we're excited to announce that we’ll be releasing a few recordings from our favorite parties of 2024.

Looking back at the past year, we were privileged to host an incredible crew of friends from all over the world.

Having roots in Japan and Cuba, Yuzo Iwata has been a prominent figure in the music scene. Since 2011, he has been organizing the “FLOPPY” party at Precious Hall in Sapporo. In 2016, he relocated to Berlin and in 2018, released his debut EP, “Kiteki,” on Pluie/Noir. In 2022, And he released his debut album, “Kaizu,” through Butter Sessions in Melbourne. His music paints on this album an imaginary story reminiscent of traveling the world’s islands by boat, offering an exotic and borderless array of sounds with various electronic rhythms, earning recognition by various music media.

In Berlin, Yuzo Iwata has worked at the record shop Sound Metaphors, curating a diverse record collection with a core of psychedelia.

One memory that often comes up in conversation is Yuzo’s set at Evening Breeze last July. His two-hour mix was a masterclass in deep groove, funk, and psychedelia. While it might not have been the obvious choice for a transit party, the payoff was immeasurable as we experienced an impressive display of experience, knowledge, and skill.

Join us as we revisit this core memory and look forward to an even more exciting year ahead!

DREAMING 048 : Yuzo Iwata - MOLDIVE @NOON 31 Jan 2025

In recent times we have seen a wave of hugely talented disc jockeys emerge from Japan...

Yuzo Iwata is from Sapporo and has been working prominently in the city as a promoter behind his party, FLOPPY. As a disc jockey he is superbly talented, taking an eclectic approach to his sets which often meander between style and genre. He also makes use of field recordings and plays experimentally from the perspective of telling a story through his own musical representation. 

Now based in Berlin, he spends his days working in second hand record shops and producing his own music which has so far been released on the likes of Pluie/Noir and Rotate. He has forthcoming music soon to be released on SJ Tequila's record label Shot of T which lurks around the corner. 

This mix was recorded live as part of an opening set at Precious Hall in Sapporo at his own FLOPPY party - it is recorded entirely on vinyl with the exception of one unreleased track and some overlaid field recordings. 

Lock in.

Berlin based original Sapporo man Yuzo Iwata is on Trushmix for number 157. A smooth blend of various feel good music, vintage, electronix, disco, percussive, some exercise routines, house music for your brain and some birds singing through most of the mix. A personal reference to acid trips during day, and in general a great vibe providing element in a mix!

A good mood mix all over, perfect for the spring and soon summer to come in this very strange time and situation we are in now!

Music form the top, to cheer you up, and give you that spring feeling!

Enjoy!
