The Japanese ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U is often referred to as your favorite DJ’s favorite DJ for a reason. His sets are of such a caliber that you have to see/hear them to believe them: with an absurd mastery of the decks, he seamlessly connects every imaginable genre. And more than once, he does it without using headphones. Yousuke Yukimatsu — an anagram of his real name, Kesuyo Tsumakiyu — originally hails from Osaka, where he organized his Zone Unknown parties, and is now based in Tokyo. From a debut at DJ Nobu’s FUTURE TERROR party to performances at avant-garde festivals (you may have caught him last year at Paradiso during TRANCE, part of the Sonic Acts Biennale 2024) and clubs like Berghain: calling him versatile is an understatement. His recent Boiler Room Tokyo set hit two million views within ten days thanks to its unmatched energy and tracklist. This Liberation Day, you can experience it for yourself in Paradiso’s Grote Zaal, with support from Identified Patient.
