Emerging out of Tokyo, young talent Oyubi has been making some serious waves worldwide with his constant stream of self-released Bandcamp uploads.

These range from footwork and juke right through to dubstep and grime, and have received recent support from the likes of Kush Jones, Objekt and Ben UFO. His most recent EP 'Earnin It', saw him collaborate with fellow Japanese producer, Fetus, and was released via Tokyo's Trekkie Trax - a label with which Oyubi was already acquainted, after featuring on a remix compilation of Roska's 'Pree Me' early last year.

Across the vast range of genres that these releases encompass, each track shares the meticulously-engineered sound design that situates Oyubi's music in an era not-yet-past. At times, this futurism is captured in a tripped-out Japanese nursery rhyme ('ALEX (いつまでふたり)' ), and at others in an alien-bongo, laser-blipped footwork track ('C Tom').

Oyubi continues in the rich lineage of Japanese Juke which has elsewhere seen contributions from Hyperdub affiliate Foodman and DJ Fulltono. Strap into his 'Shine A Light On' mix which features releases from the likes of AceMoMa, Coco Bryce, Djrum and Proc Fiskal.

Oyubi: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Diving deep into left-field depths of techno. Resurfacing with 4x4, hypnotic grooves & delicious breaks.

Lil' wiggly synth snakes and bright kick drums.

Music that gives you sweaty palms.
Music that would make a baby sleep and an adult dance.
