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

023 Olivas

Spanish born and now Melbourne based duo 'Olivas' is the sum of equally wonderful parts Lucia and Teresa (Modulor). Hosts of weekly radio show 'Deep Digging' on KissFM, which is a fitting name put into meaning through their eclectic and heavily electronic influenced sets, filled with rarities. This live recording at Waxflower sees a pensive journey through deep, downtempo electro, house, and dreamy acid soundscapes. Melodies from the present and past. 

¡Disfrutar!

Sound Metaphors 8 year anniversary : Yuzo Iwata (closing set)

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.

Main Leaf ft. Aleïa - Believe (Original Mix)

for the backroom and basement dwellers among us, summer offers a rare side quest to less darkened surrounds. fase uno of these dances are ye olde aluminium room 2s that navigate the a-roads and home our journeys. 

I got this mix just in time for one of those trips two weeks back. dubbed out, cosmic, with zero concern to conform, it’s 3hrs ov mix totally at ease with letting go. music like this could only come from one of the realest, jaye ward. being introduced to jaye’s sounds from early on has been of one of life’s better coincidences. 

reaching back to those early days, jaye always reminds u that [somehow] this thing is still alive.

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.

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!

Next to step under the gun is the Bakkheia crew! Messrs Jorg Kuning, Schuttle, Bitzer Maloney and Hercules M hail from Manchester and have been carving out their own niche in the city’s scene over the past few years. In addition to the label, which has released a string of killer records showcasing their brand of slick wonky dance music, they’ve also hosted a bunch of raucous parties at Manchester’s best club, The White Hotel. Their podcast is a 4 way megamix that traverses from space chug to acid steamrollers, and there’s some forthcoming Bakkheia goodies inside too. Get stuck in.
