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)

What changes can we expect. How will you stem the coagulated tide of stagnation? Where in your atrophied spirit will you find the grit? It's not looking good. The rot spreads. The habits run too deep. The flesh sags, the mind flags. You're not much of anything. But change is possible. It starts with egoseed's 'closer', out on Gone baby; you listening to it and sharing and reposting and engaging on every platform. Purchasing it. Coveting it. Purchasing it again. You can still turn this thing around. Change is possible.

egoseed - Closer [MK PREMIERE]

Me against me [Fistfight] (1trickpony)

This time the moodboard is the front, sharing = world building.

LIGHT, light…RIGHT?

A rare plant that flowers only once in seven years and then dies has blossomed
The chrysalis may appear in our dreams to alert us
Change is taking place within us on a very subtle level
Wind blew and turned dust and debris into rocks
I’ve been having strange dreams

Athens-based storyteller, sound artist, and producer Apu Nanu draws inspiration from post-internet aesthetics, microtonality, neoclassical themes, and video game nostalgia, blending these influences with playful MIDI manipulation and collage-like sound design. Trained in both Western and Eastern music traditions, they are a multi-instrumentalist interested in exploring new approaches to digital composition.

In 2024, they released their debut EP The Untold Saga via Polish label BFF Music -a cinematic soundtrack to an imagined gamespace. Their collaborations include work with artists such as Galen Tipton, Julek Ploski and Oliver Torr, while their music has been choreographed by Zoi Tatopoulos and featured by brands like Valentino. Their work extends to compositions for performances and art installations presented at venues like the Benaki Museum and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. 

Following their debut, they began performing across Europe, with appearances in cities such as London, Berlin, Milan, Prague, Brussels and more.
