2013 marks a decade of Y-3 and its pioneering sport-style aesthetic—a look that continues to meld the avant-garde genius of Yohji Yamamoto with the breakthrough innovation of adidas. adidas is pleased to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Y-3 with a compilation album in collaboration with Alex Prat aka Alex from Tokyo (Tokyo Black Star, World Famous NYC) and 14 innovative electronic music producers, with CD and vinyl sets specially packaged with artwork by PL Studio.

Y-3 presaged the contemporary obsession with designer athletic wear by being the first to blur the boundaries of style and sport. The music on this compilation achieves a similar balance, bringing together dance music icons as well as fresh faces from the world of underground house and disco.

The esteemed contributors include Frank Wiedemann, one half of acclaimed duo Âme and co-founder of Berlin-based label Innervisions. Eccentric and reclusive maven Maurice Fulton makes a rare appearance, along with legendarily diverse New York DJ Joaquin "Joe" Claussell of the famed Body & Soul parties as well as Chicago house pioneer Larry Heard. Rub-N-Tug are a boisterous New York duo, and here they slot next to Jules Etienne's collaboration with disco purist Daniel Wang, founder of Balihu Records
Other artists on the compilation include Blackjoy, responsible for Parisian sci-fi disco, prolific Japanese producer Kaoru Inoue aka Chari Chari, Irish house heavyweight Mano Le tough, and Jiro Amimoto, who has produced the music at previous Y-3 runway shows. Discodromo, who heads up one of Berlin's top gay alternative parties Cocktail D'Amore, collaborates here with Italian Massimiliano Pagliara, a longtime resident at Frankfurt's Robert Johnson nightclub. Alex from Tokyo pulls double-duty, contributing a track from his and Isao Kumano's Tokyo Black Star project as well as mixing the CD version of the release. Rounding out the mix is anonymous Scottish producer Lord of the Isles and Quiet Village, featuring Matt "Radio Slave" Edwards.

The Y-3 compilation will be released in mid-September via the Y-3 website (www.y-3.com/music), retail stores, and social media outlets. The compilation will be available on CD with the tracks both mixed continuously or unmixed, along with 500 special-edition vinyl box sets and free digital downloads.

Adidas Y3 10th Anniversary Compilation Mixed by Alex From Tokyo

Alex from Tokyo – Parisian by birth, grew up in Tokyo, now a resident of NYC. Global. You can hear it in the music he plays. He’s still got a residency in Japan that he flies back to every other month and has been key in linking the Japanese music scene out and also back in. He is also a music supervisor and a producer, working alongside Isao Kumano on the Tokyo Black Star project.

Our Dr Rob is doing an interview with him soon so I won’t go on about this too much hence to say that he has done the new upcoming “Originals” compilation for Claremont which is bound to be good. Here he has done us a mix of mellow summer sounds across the board. Enjoy!

Back in 2015, Mancunian DJ and Producer Hidden Spheres aka Tom Harris joined the Rhythm Section family for our twelfth release. Storming into 2022 and approaching 50 releases Tom has a long overdue return to the label with a synthesis of electronic house vibrations.

‘You Are Not Your Body’ is a stellar collection of five tracks, which touch on the sensations of euphoria and the blissed-out intersection between early prog and Detroit House. Channelling energies for meditation and self love, things kick off with ‘Improvisation’ an electro infused eight minute workout, whilst ‘Euan 92’ is a festival-defining ‘hands-in-the-air’ anthem tried and tested by Bradley Zero on the road throughout 2021.

Love Your Body is a delightful disco-esque chugger reinforcing joyful energies and an infectious bass line to keep you wiggling on the dance floor. Things come to a close with a spaced out balearic house remix by RS family favourite Ruf Dug.

Medlar - Interruptor [Delusions Of Grandeur] (96KBPS)

Mexico City resident La Guardia De La Luz is back on Hell Yeah with a new three-track EP, The Magnetic Field, a perfect follow-up from his Awakenings EP back in late 2021. 

This Balearic-not-Balearic artist has been crafting his seductive sounds for many years. From lush deep house to stoner dub via psychedelic beats, he can do it all with a majestic sense of storytelling. This time out he has his sights set firmly on the dance floor as he mixes up breakbeat, reggae and disco. 

'Kingston Technologies' has an irresistibly wiggling dub rhythm. Dusty breakbeats and digi-synths dance around one another as warm chords and jah-inspired vocals drift up top. It's a super fresh tune that sounds like nothing else out there. 

The epic ten-minute workout that is 'Planetary' builds on deep-cut house drums with funky bass playing and louche percussion. It's an early evening classic that will see any floor slowly fill up as people shake their booty to the loose rhythm and get lost in the soulful melodies that grow ever more cosmic. 

Finally, the title track is another nearly 10-minute masterpiece with silky star-gazing arps circling up through the mix over lazy breaks. It's an expansive track with a widescreen design that has you gazing off to the distance and lost in a loved-up deep disco reverie. 

These are three inventive tunes that take you to another world.

Adult Fiction marks release number two with a trio of tracks that once again demonstrate the sophisticated sounds that are set too grace the more discerning dance floors. Emerging from Belfast, this artist/label project stays true to the ethos of 90s timeless sounds, reverently updated. 
‘Clear View’ fluffs the pillows further lowering you deeper into calming rhythms and reverb-soaked chord progressions. A vocal sample comes and goes throughout the entirety, offering the chance to exhale deeply between segments.

Invisible Landscapes

Led by New York and Tokyo-based international french DJ Alex from Tokyo and Tokyo-based producer and engineer Isao Kumano, Tokyo Black Star are truly 21st century galactic funk artists. As their ship has advanced through the galaxy, meeting fellow travelers along the way, Tokyo Black Star have absorbed and translated influences from around the solar system and beyond.

They have released so far 5 EPs on the hi-profile Innervisions label in Berlin, 2 releases on the Italian taste makers' Slam Jam label Reincarnation, "Rainbow/Fantastique Voyage EP" on Dj Deep's deeply rooted house music records label, and various remixes wordwide including recently Kuniyuki "Birds" (mule musiq), nublu orchestra "Sketches of NY" (nublu), Bing Ji ling "Home" (Lovemonk), Master H and Greg Oreck "Coffee is ecstasy" (komplex de deep), Arno E Matthieu "Heritage" (clima records), Filipson+Lindblad "Reflections" (mood music), Wagon Cookin "Come into the light" (om records) and Mezza Luna vs Felix Cage new EP "Blizzard" (electronical reeds) in January 2011. Tokyo Black Star released in April 2009 their full length debut album "Black Ships" (Innervisions) on CD collaborating with the NYC based japanese painter Tomokazu Matsuyama. "Black Ships" can be described at once as a nonfiction travel diary, and at the same time as a supreme fiction of traveling through the world of imagination. Tokyo Black Star remixed in 2011 Carl Craig's Psyche masterpiece "Neurotic Behavior" for the 20th anniversary of the Planet E label. In May 2012 they released their latest "Together EP" on the japanese label Apt. International and their remix of the new Toby Tobias single "Choc Ice for 4" on the NYC label Let's Play House.

Tokyo Black star performs live too and has played live with machines for the release of the album in Japan and in Europe at Panorama Bar in Berlin and at the Robot 02 festival in Bologna, Italy.

Alex and Isao started in summer 2010 a new "revolutionary" audio brand called phonon (www.phonon-inc.com).
