Yosaku is my man and an artist folks need to check out.
He's the most meticulous producer I know (sometimes making 400 chops in a song) and has a wide variety of styles ranging from straight Hip Hop and turntablism to broken beat, brazillian and nu jazz. He made noise with his first 12", a remix of Ray Baretto's "Pastime Paradise" (Fresco/Plug Label), getting props from Spiritual South, Gilles Peterson, Michael Rutten, Garth Trinidad and Big Bang. He has a lot more in store this year, including a James Brown project on GAMM and (hopefully) our remix of "The Bottle" will finally get an official release.
Check him out (sorry, no download-o)

hey what up day??
My name is Tim (DeeJay Kikkoman) and I'm a friend of Yosaku's. I met him when he was 14 and his cuts were incredible back then. I always knew he would contribute some amazing music to the world. I really hope he presses miradolina (people will go crazy for that on a good sound system)
Nice cuts on your day before and 12"s by the way...Real clean, how a deejay who's been cuttin for over 15 years should sound...Real fast when you need to be, but held back when you need to also, perfect timing.
If you're interested, I would like to mail you some mixtapes I made to see what you think...It's how us deejays communicate. Keep the good music and positive messages comin. Whenever I rock your records at a party or show, people really feel them. I love how the lines between sampling, drum machines, and live musicianship are blurring. Sorry for rattling on. Peace...
