バーサタイルの一言では表せないほど多様な音楽性を持つ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U は、多くのD J、音楽玄人から世界最高峰のDJの1人として知られる。DJ Nobu率いるイベントFUTURE TERRORにも出演し、ベルリンで開かれる音楽の祭典アトナルで3年連続プレイを果たす彼の実力は、ユキマツのセットを聴けば容易にわかるだろう。

このスペシャルミックスアルバムは、ユキマツと彼が信頼を置くプロデューサーたちによって奏でられる一つの物語である。すべての音の形と色合いを駆使して、音の無限性が探索された12のトラックは、ユキマツによって構成され、プロデューサー一人一人のメッセージが見事に汲み取られた壮大なストーリー、Midnight is Comin’となった。

アルバムは orhythmo のサウンドエクスペリメント Nagel から始まり、Ryo Murakami のゆっくりと奏でられる弦の音色 Reminiscence、そして Sapphire Slows のリズミカルなスローヘイズ Hinotori に続くのは、DJ Nobuの指数関数的に脈打つ音色 Yakou Gai。 KEIHIN の DMT のようなバーチャル瞑想空間を感じさせる Exhale からのYPY の張り詰めた空気感漂う MS、そして City の穏やかな 9K へと進む。COMPUMA の Flowmotion (DUB) によってワームホールへ吸い込まれ、リバーブが降り注ぐ Coni の Ängelsbäcksstrand に誘導される。そしてGabber Modus Operandi の Kisah（インドネシア語で物語）によって覚醒され、SPINNUTSの超越した曲譜 Zweimal schlafen atmosphäreに繋がる。そして、アルバム最後は Albino Sound による宇宙サウンド Celestial Sphereで締めくくられる。

「偏見なくあらゆる音楽を駆使したミキシングスタイルは、純粋に音楽を愛するユキマツを象徴している。常に謙虚な姿勢で音楽に取り組む彼にかかれば、何をミックスしても興味深い音になる。」 – nolens.volens（バンコク、タイ）

Versatility does not even come close to describing how the humble Japanese ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U is considered to be one of the best DJs in the world by many of his peers. From his debut at DJ Nobu’s FUTURE TERROR event to performing 3 years consecutively at Berlin Atonal Festival, Yukimatsu’s sets have to be heard for you to understand.

In this special mix album, Yukimatsu gathers round his producer friends to build vessels of the story structure. Threading the pages together, interweaved by friendship and sine waves, he has crafted a masterful presentation from their individual messages. Pulling and stretching all sonic shapes and shades while exploring the farthest reaches of sound, the result is a frequency soup of twelve outstanding tracks that when sequenced together, become part of a greater, grander story: Midnight is Comin’.

From the sound art experimentations of orhythmo – Nagel and wide yawning strings in Ryo Murakami – Reminiscence to the rhythmic slo-mo haze of Sapphire Slows – Hinotori and the exponentially pulsing colours from DJ Nobu - Yakou Gai. The DMT-like spacious virtual meditation hall of KEIHIN – Exhale follows the uneasy footsteps of YPY – MS to the intermissioning chapter of City – 9K. Fall into the wormhole of COMPUMA –Flowmotion (IN DUB) and be transported to the reverb-drenched, intimate experience of Coni – Ängelsbäcksstrand, the primal invocations of Gabber Modus Operandi – Kisah (which also means story in Bahasa Indonesian) to the transcendent notes of SPINNUTS - Zweimal schlafen atmosphäre. The soaring universe of Albino Sound – Celestial Sphere wraps up the album with crystalline notes.

“Versatile is not even close to describing his music selection and mixing skills as he plays anything without prejudice and is purely music loving. He is extremely humble, can mix anything and make it sound interesting.” – nolens.volens (Bangkok, Thailand)

For our 50th anniversary of DAS RADIO, we present dear friend Lars Fixen. Stable part of the dancefloor for many years and now also inside the DJ booth. :)

'I’ve always loved quirky sounds, and with this mix, I wanted to go all in on the quirkiness but also attempt to bring out the sexy sides of the music. I’ve always dug more for sounds and vibes rather than genres, and I’ve tried to showcase that in the mix. Expect an hour of dreamy meets trippy meets a smokey dance floor and bopping heads.'

Please enjoy!

Please enjoy!

Rustam - Birdwood (Lostlojic Remix)

@nesaazadikhah returns on Kulture Galerie with a 4 track EP on Filippo MSM’s cassette tape sub-label Digital Artefacts.

With “My World” Nesa tells a personal story of influences and inspirations split in 4 parts / tracks. Each of the tracks is in fact named after who matters the most to the artist: her 2 dogs, her life partner and herself. Sonically the EP is a unique blend of music that Nesa loves and its hard to not fall in love with. The A side is very UK tinged Techno whilst the B side includes a slow chuggy Dark Disco track and a super trippy dub cut. Fall in love with Nesa's life.

Next up in our Digest series is our good mate Antoni aka Antek!

I first met Antoni last year when he invited me down to Planet Wax for one of his instalments of 'Antek Invites', a regular event he hosts at the shop showcasing the breadth and depth of his taste alongside friends and other DJs who he knows will match the vibe. 

A true gent with a genuine passion for music, Antek's been part of the Planet Wax crew for ~18 months with regular appearances and events at the shop, alongside other gigs around South London, as well as radio appearances on Subtle, Aaja, Kool FM, Balamii, and Netil to name a few. 

He even played the Steel City of Sheffield recently at the newly established Gut Level, a queer community DIY space in the heart of the city centre.

Hope you enjoy the variety of sounds he's put together for us in this mix :)

Premiere: Good Catch - Thought Balloon - from Rainbow Railway: VA Pt.II
https://regulardisco.bandcamp.com/album/rainbow-railway-va-pt-ii

Meet Regulardisco’s second compilation: bigger and juicier than ever. As always, we aim to showcase the bright side of the Ukrainian electronic scene — one that doesn’t often get the spotlight — while raising funds for the needs of Ukrainian defenders. This time, alongside Ukrainian artists based both in Ukraine and around the world, we’ve invited some international guests: Hola Olas (Belgium), Martin Zetta (Brazil), and Good Catch (United Kingdom). This compilation is truly a multi-genre piece, telling a story that flows smoothly from leftfield, rather abstract music to indie dance, with a detailed stop at Italo, space disco, and dark disco. From there, we journey through Chicago house and acid house, before ending with fast, dreamy progressive house seasoned with a breakbeat flavor.
