The tenth instalment of the Reference Mark Mix Series. Past, present and future friends of the label are given the chance to reference the sounds that define them.

Reference Mark Recordings founder Alfred uses this early yet important milestone in the mix series to showcase what the Reference Mark “sound” is all about: ‘Every track is significant to me in some way or another – whether that be a track made by myself or a close friend, a track that brings back fond memories of a night, or one that triggers a strong emotion. The opening couple of tracks reflect my optimism and general positive outlook on life, with uplifting melodies and chords. The next phase includes an array of iconic vocals that are a nod to my teenage years. Now then, I couldn’t have a mix on my own series without my own music now could I? The final phase sees a significant increase in tempo climaxing with a beautifully inconclusive final crescendo. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of listening to it as I had making it.’

Hailing from Taipei, Taiwan, a city with a thriving nightlife that goes until the wee hours of the morning, Yuka grew up with the rise of the electronic music scene in Asia. Yuka cut her teeth as a producer and DJ in London in Camden Town.

While living in London, Yuka effortlessly bridged the underground to the mainstream in a male-dominated industry. She has opened for electronic artists like Cosmic Gate, The Crystal Method, Audien, Valentino Khan, Poolside, and Eric Prydz, and also live bands such as ALO, The California Honeydrops, and Rebirth Brass Band all while playing in premiere venues and nightclubs all over London, East Asia, and North America. Yuka sings and plays the Chinese flute, and DJ’s regularly with live musicians who play the Guzheng (古箏), violin, bass guitar, trumpet, and didgeridoo.

Yuka’s career highlights include: playing on the Insomniac Camp OG stage at EDC Las Vegas, playing at Ministry of Sound (London), and playing at Oil (Shenzhen).
 
In 2019, she founded the artist exchange program Nu Tekno and has been hosting events regularly since 2020.  Nu Tekno currently has monthly residencies at the Endup, Lion’s Den and Mars Bar in San Francisco.
