Yamaneko

There are two artist known as Yamaneko. (1) A London producer, who debuted with the album 'Pixel Wave Embrace' in 2014. (2) Also known as Sanae (さなえ), a Japanese singer who has uploaded several songs to the NicoNico Douga website. (1) In Yamaneko's world, things are rarely as they seem. Although Pixel Wave Embrace is the London-based producer's first release, he had quietly built up a reputation over the previous 12 months, with his tracks frequently appearing in sets by Mumdance, Logos and DJ Milktray. Despite grime being a major influence on Yamaneko, there are no samples from grime records; instead, he twists samples from the places that you'd least expect into the sort of flat snares that you'd associate with classic records from unsung grime acts such as Imp Batch. Another key part of what makes Yamaneko tick is his love of new age and meditational cassettes. (2) YamaNeko, later known as Sanae (さなえ) or YamaNeko Sanae (山猫さなえ), is a Japanese singer who uploads both original and cover songs to the NicoNico Douga website, most of which have been re-upload to YouTube by fans.
