Baroque

Yokota, was an eclectic, highly prolific electronic musician and composer from Japan who died in 2015 at 54. “There is always fear, rage, and ugliness existing behind beauty. I have been trying to express ki-do-ai-raku (the four emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness) through music. I would like to express even one’s hidden emotion with reality. It’s my eternal goal.” Baroque is a clear example of this, thought the deep listeing of the album you can experiment all of that feelings in just one record and feel how his music influenced the next generation of producers during the two next decades till today.

The Tokyo-based artist devoted his time and creative energy to achieving this goal, and the result is a vast discography that begins with banging early acid house tracks in the 1990s, moves across the next two decades to include deep house and Detroit-influenced techno, a stunning run of ambient electronic albums and, in his last decade, a glorious confluence that wove his various skills into a series of borderless electronic records.
