About

There are DJs who master a sound, and then there is ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U — a selector whose sets seem to operate without genre boundaries altogether. Originally from Osaka and now based in Tokyo, Yukimatsu has built a cult following through an extraordinary ability to connect seemingly incompatible sounds into sets that are unpredictable, intense and remarkably seamless. Techno, experimental electronics, trance, bass, pop, ambient, hip-hop and beyond can collide within the same hour, held together by a technical command of the decks that has earned him a reputation as "your favourite DJ's favourite DJ." His beginnings in Japan's underground scene led to an invitation to play DJ Nobu's FUTURE TERROR, before taking him to institutions and festivals including Berghain and Berlin Atonal. His 2020 mix album Midnight is Comin', released on Singapore label Midnight Shift, further established his approach to experimental club music. In recent years, that cult reputation has reached a much wider audience. His 2022 HÖR Berlin set amassed millions of views, while his explosive 2025 Boiler Room Tokyo set became a viral introduction to Yukimatsu's singular approach to DJing. In 2026, his global run continued with appearances at Coachella, Montreux Jazz Festival and Sziget Festival.
