Hyper Move: Hiroki Yamamura

Juke music moves pretty quickly, but Osaka’s Hiroki Yamamura, as of late, has really been pushing things forward. The producer’s recent batch of songs — uploaded to his SoundCloud — are especially hyperactive, highlighted by the woozy “Ultra Blast.” That one, above, at first sputters about all over the place, but soon every sliced-up vocal and beat aligns just right to go lightspeed, and gets accented with sweet string details. String swells show up again on the speedy “Feeling You,” too.

Also, while we are on the topic, his Weather Forecast EP released last year on Booty Tune is good too. Get it here.
