Tokyo-based producer Yosuke Tokunaga (@yosuketokunaga) makes his debut on Prepaid Records. Already known through his releases on UK-based label Strange Rules as well as US-based Madriguera, he can be considered a hidden pearl in abstract beat music. Tokunaga uses a minimalistic compositional mentality in his works. Simple structures and consistent rules are defining his style as well as his sound aesthetics. "7 Patterns" follows the same path of sketch-type and filtered tracks.

ABOUT SOUND:
Timeless:
In my opinion sound should have soul and at the same time be fit for eternity. Timelessness in sound is my philosophy

Minimalism:
Is there anything missing? No No No No for me nothing is missing.... Less is more... With less you should fill the room optimally in sound design....

What Pirat records do not like:
don't like sirens including siren pauses and I don't like stories that are too predictable. I don't like normal claps.... dont like too much compression and too little dynamic space.

I don't have any limits about the style of music.
I focus on quality in sound in the end result
