~ Yusuke Yamamoto [Japan] ~

When we brainstormed about underground raw and deep house at plastic/vibes, the Kyoto-based hero Yusuke Yamamoto a.k.a Freischwimmer is one of the top names that instantaneously crossed our minds. His unrivalled style ranges anywhere between wistful and melodic bars to punchy and clean tunes. Making good use of 20 years of sharp experience in the field, the genuinely creative Japanese stalwart still manages to reinvent himself with an overpowering and toothsome EP released on Planet Gwer a year ago. Listening to his sounds is like chilling in a landscape brimming with Japanese cherry blossoms. Concurrently with his producer and dj occupations, he is also running the Canary Records label, which compiles with brio some of the most talented artists out there such as Rick Wade or Mike Sharon. 

In this 9th session, he ingeniously brings to the table thoughtful house cuts mingled with snappy nu-disco touch from Apparel Wax, DJ Steaw or Marc Brauner. Believe it or not, however hard you’ll try not to dance on this one, you surely couldn’t help.

Yusuke Yamamoto’s latest crush: Various Artists - Tenacious Session [Muzik & Friendz Records]

Our team’s recommendations: Take A Walk [Planet Gwer], Somebody Tonight [Canary Recordings], Roc Soft Raw (Mike Sharon Remix) [Rough Recordings]
