Hiroki Yamamura And DJ NHK Guy Release Split: Mask / Close Ur Eyes

Yesterday Once More returns with a new split release from Hiroki Yamamura and DJ NHK Guy, each contributing an original cut and then remixing the other. For their own numbers, each create retro-tinted juke, Yamamura moving in a slightly more fragmented direction (and feeling very out of time in the process) on “Mask,” while DJ NHK Guy embraces something warmer with “Close Ur Eyes,” a slice-and-dice number that milks a particularly inviting vocal sample for all its worth. The reworks follow a similar trajectory, with “Mask” being turned into something a bit more rambunctious — a voice going “work that ass” adds to the party-starting atmosphere — while Yamamura flips “Eyes” into…wait, what, he takes it into lightspeed, and plays up the horns for one of the fastest sounding victory laps you’ll hear.
