Yushka has revealed the setlist for his upcoming broadcast on Scientific Sound Asia Radio. This station is renowned as the premier destination for underground music, DJ offerings, and event advertising in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Vietnam, and across Southeast Asia.
Originally from Nottingham, UK, Yushka has honed his skills as a DJ by showcasing his talent at no-cost events, raves, festivals, and club nights across the UK, Ireland, and, more recently, Vietnam, since the mid-2000s. He was instrumental in the formation of Nottingham's What The Funk? DJ group and was the driving force behind Nottingham's Shits and Giggles and Hot-Point Sound Systems.
In his teenage years, he had a deep interest in exploring the complexities of music and took pleasure in making mix tapes. Due to limited finances for DJ gear, he made use of simple software and a CD recorder to produce mixes that he shared with classmates. This proactive approach led to him being acknowledged by his peers as a skilled DJ.
Skipping ahead to 2004, at the age of 22, he got the chance to display his skills on professional DJ gear. By 2006, he was a regular performer at different hip bars and nightclubs in Nottingham within the underground scene, collaborating with co-host and founder Animinimal (Deck-starter/Catalyst). As the shows evolved, it became evident that they had to improve the insufficient PA systems in the venues by bringing their own sound system for Sh!ts and G!ggles.
Having gained rapid popularity, the Hotpoint Sound System of Nottingham was founded after extensive music listening sessions with the now renowned Matty C (Hanoi Hi-Fi). This led to the organization of diverse underground free events and collaborations with Promoters across the East Midlands, such as Substance D&B, Pure Filth, TSA303, Monkey Nuts, and Psycle, which showcased the distinctive multi-genre nights and parties that Hotpoint and S&G became known for.
Having showcased his talent at different venues in Vietnam like Sidewalk Hanoi - Bar / Kitchen / Events (Hanoi) and Broma: Not a Bar, Arcan, Bann Bar (HCMC), he has opened for well-known Drum and Bass artists EZ Rollers and Kenny Ken. His performances feature a mix of music genres including Chilled Laid Back Beats, Breaks, Hip Hop, Electro, Tech, and D&B, all with a touch of Funk and Soul.
As a resident DJ at Sunday Funk Sessions at Arcan in Ho Chi Minh City, he will be making more appearances in 2019 after joining Scientific Sound Asia DJ Agency. This episode premiered on Friday, October 4th. Listen to the Mixcloud player below.
