A command across genres has distinguished
Yasushi Ide
's work as a DJ and producer since emerging from the multiscene spawning big bang that was Tokyo's highly influential club milieu of the 1980s. His productions draw variously from hip-hop, dub, house, punk, jazz dance, exotica and electronic music -- and at their most expressive, synthesize sensibilities within a single track. The respect Ide's earned is well evident in the impressive roll call of collaborators he's accrued over the years --

, just to name a legendary few. Now available for worldwide distribution from Love Injection Records in both digital and 7" 45 vinyl formats, the Yasushi Ide "A Place In the Sun (
Kaoru Inoue
Remix)" is paired with the equally gorgeous "A Place In the Sun (Dub)." On the former, Inoue's treatment largely strips away the track's beats, anchoring it to a subtle percussion pulse that emphasizes the composition's irresistible melodic qualities. The latter finds

at the controls restoring and pushing reverb-soaked drums to the forefront of the mix, accentuating Ide's affection for the sound system aesthetic while exercising just the right amount of spatial arrangement flourishes to inject some brawn amidst the beauty. These serendipitously rediscovered renditions of a back catalog deep cut are just the latest examples of Yasushi Ide's artistic reach. In addition to recording such acclaimed albums as 2020's
Cosmic Suite
and its 2022 sequel (for which Love Injection has remixed a track), his work has spanned music supervision of some 200+ compilations for major labels, artist management, his Grand Gallery shop/gallery proprietorship, and books showcasing the depth of his archival sensibilities, including vintage t-shirt and ephemera curation. Perhaps most inspiring, however, is that Ide is still winning new appreciators and collaborators in unexpected ways four decades into a revered career that continues to evolve and expand.
