Tokyo Drift [Phonk Remix]

From Fort Lauderdale, Florida comes our next guest DJ and producer, @Yeshayahumsc. A transcendent blend of Melodic and Afro House grooves, this mix will pair very well with an evening terrace or beach club and sundowners.

For well over 10 years, YeshaYahu has mixed countless eclectic DJ mixes and has played at some of the finest clubs in South Florida including SAAM at the SLS in Miami and Do Not Sit On The Furniture in South Beach. 

He also hosts his own podcast on iStreem radio called “The Sabea Podcast” (@the-sabea-podcast-istreem).  He hosts many new and upcoming artists of multiple disciplines within the electronic music scene and interviews them on Instagram currently.  

Now focusing on Afro house and 3-step selections, he is coming into a new form and revitalizing his brand.

Q: LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR MIX FOR OUTDOOR TAPES. HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON THE TRACK SELECTION AND WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE PERFECT SETTING FOR THIS MIX?

The inspiration for this mix came from years of trial and error as I come to discover my sound. Both in my craft and in my personal life. It serves as a metaphor for my life. In 2019 I have come to love Afro House and its many different variations. It has allowed me to connect to my heritage in a very positive way and with others.

Selecting tracks for this mix comes from me living close to a beach town here in South Florida. So a lot of the tracks I selected, especially in the beginning, are inspired by walking on the beach at sunrise and then towards the end of the mix arriving to a sunset beach party. Beachtown life in miniature I would say. 

I carefully selected some of the vocal tracks because a lot of those words speak to where I’m at currently in life. Especially “Only You” by AVÖ at the end of the mix. It’s a perfect way to end the story I tell.  It is dedicated to those that I love in my life and to where I live as well. 

Also I wanted to introduce one of the newest variations in the Afro House genre known as “3-step.” it’s a variation of Afro Tech, Amapiano, and Afro House put into one track. So in the beginning of this mix you will hear that as well.

Q: IN YOUR YEARS OF DJING AND EVENTS, WHICH PLACES AND EXPERIENCES REALLY STAND OUT FOR YOU?

So over the years there are only have been a handful of places that I really liked going to and really there was only one place that really stood out to me where I played.

When Treehouse was open I had the opportunity to open up the main room in 2021. It was significant for me because that was the first major club that I actually opened the main room for and I was opening for an Anjunadeep artist named David Hohme. At that time he really inspired me to play the way that I do now. I would argue to say that my style is a hybrid of Melodic and Afro House, but he really gets the credit for inspiring me. 

Treehouse really provided what I would call a family setting because at that time many of my colleagues in the industry would go there to congregate to support one another and listen to our favorite artists together. 

One of the parties that really sticks out to me currently is Whispers. It’s a local Afro and Melodic House party hosted bi-monthly and is hosted in various locations around Miami. It’s pretty cool because there you can see some of the new and upcoming talent in the Afro House scene play and it’s such amazing vibe. It’s inspired by Tulum and partying there.

Q: WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO RECENTLY THAT YOU'D LOVE TO PLUG (AND DOESN'T FEATURE IN THE MIX)?

I currently love listening to ambient music and 3-Step. It’s actually a return to form for me in some way because I used to play a lot of ambient intros in my mixes way back in 2017 when I first started DJing. 

As I play more shows I want to really incorporate the 3-Step style of Afro House. I really really think people would like that variation and fresh take on the genre publicly.
