Anyone have the full playlist? This is so underrated!

~ Shinichiro Yokota [Japan] ~

Here it comes the cream of the crop of house music: the unsung and unfortunately still underrated Japanese house hero Shinichiro Yokota a.k.a. the sports cars lover. He has been indisputably and symbiotically dominating the Japanese house scene for the past decades along with his long-time partner in crime Soichi Terada. This match made in heaven came true through multiple releases on Soichi's label Far East Recording. Shinichiro's ahead-of-his-time style of house music draws his strengths from light-hearted, soulful and accurate jams as exemplifies by his masterpiece track "Do It Again". In 2015, house staple Hunee reissued 13 open-hearted tracks (from Far East Recording) on famous label Rush Hour, which gave  the two sidekicks the attention they have long deserved. These fresh-sounding melodies perfectly depicts the way they do house in Tokyo: deep, cheerful and unblemished. One year later, he made its mark in Boiler Room history, delivering a noteworthy live appearance. Finally, the release in 2019 of his album "Ultimate Yokota 1991-2019" marked a huge step - his "30 years chronicle" as he calls it - as it includes a careful and timeless selection of early 90s tracks that haven't been released on vinyl ever before.

For this 2-year anniversary mix, he's blessing us with a wall-to-wall hour compilation of classics including his legendary tracks such as Do It Again, Got To Be Real or Night Drive. Trust us, this is a flawless and sophisticated summer trip gathering joy, purity and skillfulness.
