Yuji Kondo is a Japanese producer and a longtime friend of the Void+1 administration, known for his complex, experimental approach to sound and a blend of industrial, noise, and dark ambient elements that he effortlessly materializes into dancefloor-shattering constructs.
Whether as Yuji Kondo, Ducerey Ada Nexino, or in duo as Steven Porter, Nuts Star (with the mighty Katsunori Sawa), each of his productions radiates with avant-garde, disorienting, and nonconformist energy that is sadly seldom felt in the scene, so it is no surprise that he grabbed the attention of behemoths like Aphex Twin and Clark.
"One of the best electronic music producers on the planet" is a bold statement, but one that is absolutely safe to make in this occasion.
We are proud to present to you the first of his many works to come on Void+1: "Mecha Prowess", a 2-track EP that will prompt you to wonder: Is it industrial-leaning? Hypnotic? Reductionist? Complex? It is all and none of the above, as it defies conventional structures and is uniquely “Yuji Kondo," while marking his best work yet in the domain of techno.

If you're SO insanely happy about every single new follower here like i am......i think it should give me and my self-worth (a lot) to think about, I absolutely know. For this reason: my biggest THANK YOU to every single follower. You and all this here really mean a lot to me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that music can neither heal nor prevent the decades-long existing global sick capitalism, consumption, politics, lobbyism, corruption, systems, society/s that are sick of it, nor the imminent climate collapse resulting from all these causes. But what it can heal and fill up wonderfully I know: hearts and souls - even empty, cracked, damaged and discarded ones. And that completely free of charge. Unbelievable nowadays...what is also clear: we will never be enough people to be able to break the capitalist climate-damaging sick system globally in time, now it has been really too late for too many years gone by. I live against this system as far as my framework as a system-dependent taxpayer allows me to do so. Music is an enormously important part of it. We should tune in together to the inevitable real climate collapse. With happy hearts & souls filled to the brim with music, contentment & love. Only then will the demise of our livelihoods be bearable for us all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
War, natural disasters, politics, violence, protests, riots, injustices, attacks, terror and much more. Back then, compared to today, it was all relatively completely unfiltered, clean and completely free of any media and political fake news manipulation and twisted propaganda. All the  pseudo massiv CAPITALISTIC problems, much more its numerous symptoms of illness such as "burn outs", "social media", "depression", "shortage of skilled labour", "housing shortage", with manipulation, fake news, advertising, capitalistic, political influence soaked "media", or topics such as "urban gardening", "gentrification", immigration, all that "self-love, self-worth, what is happiness, the search for the self" madness, "gender", LGBT, "metoos". ... didn't exist back then or were healthy, normal, simple, clean. And yes, people's worries and fears back then were the same as now, just as real, normal, simple BUT FREE from any capitalist distortion, self-promotion, exaggerated and inflated hyperbubbles. Without the very large, constantly spreading epidemic of capitalism, there would probably be less than 40%? of all these problems on our planet, and a global negative climate collapse would never have been an issue. Religion does not affect our climate alone, but in numerous religious political disputes harms people beside climate, nature and all living creatures the most.
