Review :

After his stellar 'Stride EP' release (FACES 1210) last year and his latest offering 'Late Night Blue Sound EP' (on the UK's City Fly's Records/ featuring Andrés remix), Japanese deep house king- Kez YM is back on FACES Records!

Bringing delicious beatdown flavors to the cooking pot that blends Kazuki Yamaguchi into a serving of signature recipe Kez YM. 
With ongoing support from influential peers such as Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Rick Wade & Cassy, this is one delicious treat that will leave the fans salivating for more. 

His reputation extends beyond his delicious creations, as one of the standout Japanese House Djs currently holding it down in his hometown and Europe.

Mixing ingredients from Detroit, Chicago House, Funk, Disco & Afro and endlessly rocking dance floors and hearts from Panorama Bar in Berlin to Eleven in Tokyo.

The 'Root Bound' EP journeys beyond his past offerings, fresh ingredients and mouth watering grooves, with a sprinkle of that typical Kez YM signature sound!

FACES Records is an independent record label founded in 2002 by Dj & Producer Pablo Valentino (Creative Swing Alliance, Kid sW!Ng' & Hipster Wonkaz).
They release “quality” and not “quantity” records by such artists as Motor City Drum Ensemble, The Revenge, Simbad, Mono/Poly, RedNose Distrikt, Kez YM, Rondenion, Inkswel, Kira Neris, grooveman Spot, just to name a few…

In the true adventurous spirit of his Kenbun radio show, Faces Records & MCDE imprint, Pablo Valentino is all about good music period. May it be jazz/hip hop, boogie/disco, house/broken beats...but always trying to explode and explore the boundaries between all creating patterns past, present and future.

FACES Records also own its subdivision MCDE Recordings run by both Danilo Plessow (Motor City Drum Ensemble) & Pablo Valentino (Faces Records).

MCDE is focussing on house and techno sounds - sophisticated, emotional tracks which stand on their own and also have a certain longevity. The goal is to bring some emotions back to the dancefloor, cause whats a party without a feeling?

Kerri Chandler once summed it up brillantly :
A basement, a red light & a feeling.
Thats what MCDE is about!
