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.

Sound Metaphors Mix Series 03 : Yuzo Iwata

During Kraft und Licht's ADE Sunday in 2022, showcasing the label Animals on Psychedelics, label owner Carl H performed a stunning vinyl-only closing set (right after Jane Fitz). Unfortunately the device recorded only roughly the first 2 hours of his set, but a great 2 hours it is indeed. Enjoy the listen! x

Our favorite Yuzo Iwata's third appearance on DREAMING MIX is the one recorded live at MOLDIVE held at club NOON, Osaka in January 2024. His era-spanning and boundary-breaking selection with psychedelic scent topped and heavy funkiness infused makes this set very complex and wild. Let's click the play button, and embark on a journey together. We assure of your late-night space-out experience.

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!

For Trushmix 239 we got Thurlow Joyce in the mix.
A producer and DJ based between Vancouver, and Berlin. His most recent record, Lemon Citrus, was released on NAFF last year and explores dub techno, trance, and other styles with additional music from Priori x Regularfantasy.

In the mix he presents varied styles of techno on the more early nineties progressive side, with some added elements of micro house, house, trance and ambient.
A one hour and twenty two  minutes of vibes.

Enjoy!
