Japanese-born, New York–based artist/producer Yellowtail (Hiro Awanohara) has maintained a consistent flow of quality releases, with tracks and remixes appearing on labels such as Brownswood, Defected and Sonar Kollektiv.
He returns to the fore with two nuggets of soulful delight on a new limited edition 7-inch vinyl on Dancing Turtle. ‘Changes’ is a deep, soulful, flowing cut featuring the infectiously warm vocals of Russell Morgan – the singer who made a big impression through his previous collaboration with Head and Neck Sessions. He has raised the bar yet further for this.
Flipping to the B-side, Yellowtail lays on a lush remix of the Amycanbe track ’24 Hours’ (Yellowtail featuring Bedford Stuyvesant Orchestra Re-Edit). Originally released on Dancing Turtle, the track went on to be featured on the compilation album Cafe Mambo Ibiza 09, compiled and mixed by the legendary DJ José Padilla and released by Defected Records to celebrate 15 years of Café Mambo in Ibiza.
