MYSTERIES / JOONYA
12 Inch
08.06.17
mysteries. adventures in paradise. in a world where we got it all clear and cut. it pays to see between the lines this track first caught our attention in the series of yen parties we did last year across europe, and every time this tune got the id treatment. he followed it up quickly with the soul burning joonya. both tracks are beasts in the club, and we hope you feel them too.
ten thousand yen is very proud to announce a new signing - rimbaudian, with this stunner of an ep. we first met him at our party in nitsa, barcelona last summer. we loved his meda fury debut and asked if he’d send some tunes our way. by the time we got home, there was a new folder waiting with about 40 tracks from rimbaudian and a certain dj seinfeld. just about every single one was great, a feat we can assure you never happens. this is easily some of our favourite music right now, and we’re stoked to share it with you!

12 Inch
27.09.11
ten thousand yen is proud to present our new signing: presk. he weighs in with the sublime 4 track love again e.p. as the first ever 12 inch on tty. we first came across presk in eindhoven last year playing support for doc daneeka. he played a set of straight original material and tore the place down. since then we have heckled and begged until he finally signed his life away to us, and now that we own his soul we plan on sharing it with you. this e.p. comes correct for 2011 - with some of the most relevant dance music around right now, in our humble opinion. sharp edged rhythmic dance music with a distinctly techno lean - we really love the tunes and are super excited about this release, hope you are feeling them too.
comes with code for free digital download of this release.
