About

From house and techno, to ambient and trance, to breakbeat and disco - there’s plenty to memorialise from Susumu Yokata's outstandingly diverse oeuvre. But for our money, one of the Japanese electronic music producer’s brightest moments came with his 1994 record entitled Acid Mt. Fuji. By manipulating field recordings and echoey electronic percussions, Yokota crafts an oscillating auditory document dedicated to Japan’s most sacred mountain. Rife with natural and preternatural sonic signposts, Acid Mt. Fuji conjures a surreal and psychoactive atmosphere, immersing you in a lush landscape of wet forests and rugged highlands. Drenched in ambient mists and driven by an acid techno pulse, Yokota invites you on a pilgrimage that’s both mechanical and mythical.
