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.

Very excited to feature a really special new mix by an old friend from Milan, Gabriele (Sunny Crypt) collects records, occasionally enjoys playing weird music to dancing crowds and also spends some of his happiest days working in a record shop. 
Driven by a strong curiosity towards a wide range of musical genres coming from different eras and different cultural contexts, in a previous life he’s been a resident DJ at Milan’s Dude Club, a true institution for italian clubbing during the last decade. Open you hearts <3

Recording of Prins Emanuel's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"I had a super nice time. Playing for people out again was almost overwhelming but the surroundings and the crowd helped a lot. The whole atmosphere got darker and denser as the sun went down and made me finish in a really energized spirit!"

Long time dear friend Jonny Rock (@jonnyrock) from London up in the mix for the 33rd in our MFM Mix series. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Thanks for the mix and for taking time to answer these questions Jonny. Whatsup? 

JR: It is an absolute honor to do the mix and thanks for twisting my arm for the interview. Surfin’ the wild waves of the times at the moment… hanging tight on the board, but like water.. finding my way, with huge amounts of entertaining falls.

MFM: I once read you saying wanting to go “...fucking off from London, moving to LA or somewhere else”. Why would you want to trade London for another place?

JR: London is an addiction. been here since ’91 so hard to get it out of the system. working on a sunnier outlet to share the time which on its own puts a smile on my face but still enjoying London for its dirt and being versatile. LA is still and always in my heart for its sun and people.  

MFM: Looking at your discography your studio outcome is an almost equal balance of your own works and edits. Would you say other people's music is a major source of inspiration and motivation? Do you have a steady pace/rhythm of producing or...?

JR: Other peeps music I listen to is of course a huge inspiration or motivation. Even with ‘original‘ works I always have a trigger point. An inspiration from a record.. a dusty loop from somewhere. I play guitar but I am not an analog machine man (burn him burn him). I love samples, loops, rolandcloud on the go… but no particular pace tbh. sometimes a random focused period comes out fruitful. Sometimes it just doesn’t work so I leave it. It’s a sign that I need to have a break in my head. Edits come up as I find songs so the balance must be coincidental. 

MFM: You're the first guest on the mix series who actually requested to keep the comments off. Does it have to do with the 'music like water' principle these days?

JR: Well this idea also came out of the lost year. I was away from mixing for a while and podcast to-do pile had grown. And thought maybe one can try to rebalance listening to music and the way music is shared and searched. While the world is taken over by clicks and likes and online hangouts, thought maybe we push the talks and search back on real people interaction. From my side I asked kindly to the people I did the podcasts for, as an experiment…. let’s try it. Move away from ‘track id’s’ etc.     

MFM: You seem to be a romantic kinda guy with an old school approach when it comes to exploring and experiencing and valuing music. Does the '2021 way' offer only downsides from your point of view, or...?  

JR: I try to hang on to my own journey with belt and braces, so not to lose my values, and mind. A daily exercise sometimes to stop time and re-align to keep on staying true. Like all artforms there is controversy bubbling up in the speed of light everywhere with ‘kind’ help of the ‘social media’…  

MFM: Word on the street is that you've got a new thing coming up, a new label. Tell us all about it!!!

JR: Yessss its true … ‘Jonny Rock Orijinal’. A label for me by me featuring me. ‘Not an edit’ will probably write at the back of a t-shirt at some point. I felt it was the right time to have an outlet for the various explosions of my mind. Hopefully out in the wild by January. Hamam series is also branching out to a ‘Hamam Originals’ imprint too. 

MFM: Thanks too for the mix! Any specific theme or records or vibe you had in mind before or while recording it? 

JR: Not really to be honest. Tako is a huge influence and a great bud so when he asked, woke up instantly from my cosmic hibernation and wanted to do a dj mix with some of the grooves I found lately. I don’t think I played any of those records out yet so was also an excitement of playing them for the first time. I hope to get a few 👌's 🤟's 🔥's 💥's. Ah wait …comments are off so probably not.

Evie Weily, Sydney bound busy bee, is no stranger to the scene. As an avid music publicist and writer, her ear couldn’t be closer to the ground for what’s hot. Expect laidback synthy sounds to float you through day and night. 

Big love to Evie for the all killer no filler - don’t sleep

Heeeere weee gooo. A little blast from the past. Starting off with slow and sexy swings and quickly upping the tempo to move ya hamstrings. Raphaël Top Secret played an all too sweet set at Post Bar in February 2019 (when most people woulda laughed at the idea of a pandemic hitting in a year, hah). And it’s all on tape. Hit it.

Richii Tomoe is a seasoned music lover who’s no stranger to the rodeo when it comes to international club scenes. Starting out as a party promoter in Fukuoka, Richii has led a global\nomadic lifestyle spanning from Japan to Australia and most recently Berlin, allowing her to rack up a considerable portfolio of dancefloor miles in different scenes. Richii’s unique sense of club experience has inevitably guided her towards the DJ booth, debuting throughout various events this past summer, most notably the much spoken about “Speedy Boarding” raves (involuntarily hosted by Elon Musk on Tesla grounds) along with the Sound Metaphors Summer party at Oxi Garden. As a new member to the Sound Metaphors family, we’re honored to bring you one of her recorded mixes. We hope this helps illustrate the exquisite flavors of Richii’s latest DJ pursuits.

Anetha Boiler Room Amsterdam DJ Set

Known to many as Chicano Drew in the Record and Lowrider circuit, the Santa Maria native collects a variety of styles but has amassed a reputation for his trademark ‘Sad Soul’ sets in the local scene. In his words "If I’m not spinning records at shows and selling USB’s and CD’s, I’m cruising in my lowrider with friends and family all over the Central Coast”.

@faraonica_underground

Kicking off the European summer with a friendly mix from Florence-based Simona Faraone. Thoroughly entrenching herself within the Italian music scene since the late 80's, the Roman native is predominantly involved with local label Roots Underground. Faraone also began her own solo project, New Interplanetary Melodies in 2016, paying tribute to the unique and visionary approach of Sun Ra. So pour yourself some bubbles and sit loose to some hand-picked Jazz and blissed-out Funk.

@karl-marthon-1

In addition to his numerous amount of mixes, Karl Marthon sends a lengthy selection of low and mid-tempo Boogie, along side some firm 60's Soul. When he's not fishing, the Stockholm based collector also runs his own online record store by the name of K-Mart Records.

Consisting of Bryce’s Brother and Dique, the two DJs are known for exploring a rich tapestry of sounds from Dub to Post Punk, Street Soul and beyond with selections that are as sophisticated as a bottle of Dom Pérignon and as funky as congealed chicken grease.
