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 - Masters At Work, Tom Verlaine, Don Letts, James Chance, DJ Krush, Pharaoh Sanders, U-ROY, and Bongo Herman, just to name a legendary few.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove Injection Records now release on 7\" Yasushi Ide's “A Place In the Sun (Kaoru Inoue Remix)” 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 Yoko Ota 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 spacial arrangement flourishes to inject some brawn amidst the beauty.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Love Injection Records","offers":[{"title":"7\"","offer_id":50395192951115,"sku":"2128984","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/88983737-b188-9353-878a-c8f6a7204733_bd815b60_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726457072"},{"product_id":"dr-steven-stanley-meets-yasushi-ide-cosmic-disco-dub","title":"Dr Steven Stanley Meets Yasushi Ide - Cosmic Disco Dub","description":"\u003cp\u003eYasushi Ide, the revered figure in Japanese street music, has recently unveiled his latest musical opus titled \u003ci\u003eCosmic Suite 2\u003c\/i\u003e, a rebel music masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of musical genres.
