¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U

Versatility does not even come close to describing why the humble Japanese DJ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U is considered to be one of the best in the world by many of his peers. Your favorite DJ’s favorite DJ, Yukimatsu is originally from Osaka – where he ran his Zone Unknown parties – but is now based in Tokyo. His legendary mastery of the CDJs provides mind-bending but seamless connections of every imaginable genre. From his debut at DJ Nobu’s FUTURE TERROR event to performing three consecutive years at Berlin Atonal Festival, Yukimatsu’s sets have to be heard to be believed.

A fixture in Asian Dope Boys’ durational installation/performances, Yukimatsu is a selector worthy of his own mix compilation, the Midnight Shift-released Midnight is Comin’. His 2022 Hör Berlin set racked up over two million views in less than 10 months (currently at 3.2 milling views at time of writing, and people are still watching it).
