Mixes

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.

Yuzo Iwata [Que Sakamoto 思考と発想(Thoughts And Ideas)Vol.11] [16.01.2023]

Have you ever experienced a feeling as if time slows down during the cold winter days? When each moment seems drawn out and the bitter chill in the air slows your movements and routine. This feeling is captured in this musical mixtape, with stretched out downtempo tracks that give you an icy chill. However, the longer you listen and embrace the cold, the deeper its warmth will affect you. It builds gradually, like your courage would on a cold winter day, encouraging you to go outside once the sun and its icy reflection hit you. Finally, as the mix comes to an end and the sun sets, stars still twinkle with distant magic, always promising the return of light tomorrow.

The love for music that Sander Emil possesses manifests itself in many different areas. For years, he has been pushing soulful sounds by organizing Blauwdruk and helping to set up the local radio station, which has grown into the force that is Open Source Radio today. More recently, he has been co-producing electro & house and even a disco edit that have caught our attention lately. 

But most of all, his love for music shines through when he plays his finds for anyone who wants to dance. As a DJ, Sander passionately searches for unknown gems that move, captivate, and intrigue. With a keen ear for rhythm, deep, and euphoric tracks, Sander can take you on a real trip. And that's exactly what he did with this mix, except this time in an extremely slowed-down fashion.

Sticky Tapes is a seasonal mixtape series. Four times a year we ask our favourite selectors to compile a mixtape in the ambiance of the seasons.

DREAMING 033 : Yuzo Iwata - MOLDIVE @NOON 13 Jan 2024

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. He has also played at various venues across the city including Säule at Berghain, Globus at Tresor, Ohm, Club Ost, Renate, About Blank, Club Der Visionaere, Hoppetosse, among others. His DJ selections span a wide range of genres, incorporating funky basslines, and providing a minimal physicality and blissful touch while delivering dynamic music experiences. His music invites listeners to dance while evoking various landscapes and emotions, leading them on a warm and immersive musical journey.

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!

Yuzo Iwata returns to Dreaming Mix. His fourth appearance was recorded live at the MOLDIVE party held in January 2025. Based on complex and diverse percussive beats, psychedelic elements and acid stabs intertwine, gradually rising in altitude and taking off into space. Enjoy the trip.
