YUJI KONDO

Yuji Kondo is a music producer and musician, also known as one half of the electronic music duo Nuts Star / Steven Porter. Kondo also occasionally draws music with his altering sound palette under the alias Ducerey Ada Nexino, which differs from the name Yuji Kondo. As co-founder of 10 Label imprint, Kondo served as director with his label mate Katsunori Sawa until the label closure in 2024.

Kondo makes compositions using computer programs and restructures various kinds of sounds on countless occasions in unconventional ways. His sound is a blend of electronic sounds and acoustic instruments, and the minimal and the complexities coexist there. He skillfully shifts the collapse-sounds to the music. London based online magazine Juno Plus described him as "Japanese production behemoth".

His music works have been released from a lot of countries around the world. As solo projects, Kondo has released "Faces Past LP" (10 Label, 2017), "Radiate The Ocean From My Back EP" (Perc Trax, 2014), "Cycles, Children & Islands EP" (Genesa Records, 2014), "Kill Centre EP" (Sludge-Tapes, 2012) and many other works. He has also performed remixes for a large number of artists including Jimmy Edgar, Carlos Perón, Sawf, Svreca, DJ Skirt, Scalameriya and many more. His remix works on DJ Skirt's "Tumulto", Sawf's "Menete" and Hound Scales' "A Clique Of Tough Women" are most representative of his intense composition; a wall of broken-beat noise topped off by cut up vocals samples and a fluid, ever-changing arrangement.
