Japan’s Yuko Iwata Delivers Debut Album on Butter Sessions

Australian label Butter Sessions has released the debut album from Japanese producer Yuzo Iwata.

Other than single-track contributions, remixes, and singles as Fabio Lazaro and Almost East since 2015, Iwata has kept a reasonably low output. He’s most strongly affiliated with Junki Inoue’s SAISEI label, where he’s been editing pioneering early Japanese techno from the likes of Suzukiski for re-release. 

Now, after releasing “Acid House” on Butter Sessions’ Come Together 12” back in 2020, he’s back with his first full-length.

The 10 tracks galvanise his growing studio reputation, exploring an eclectic array of tempos and genres from ambient textures and field recordings to broken dancehall rhythms, dub, and techno.
