Japanese Disco Edits 3

Japanese Disco Edits 3 is a pivotal entry in the discography of Portland-based producer YUNG BAE, serving as a definitive document of the Future Funk movement's peak. Released in 2017, the EP continues his exploration of 1980s Japanese City Pop, specifically sampling legendary artists like Tatsuro Yamashita. Unlike the more experimental or 'slushwave' corners of the vaporwave scene, this record prioritizes club-ready fidelity and high-energy arrangements. The production is characterized by thick, filtered basslines, shimmering synth overlays, and a signature 'pumping' mix achieved through aggressive sidechaining. Critically, the album is noted for its ability to re-contextualize obscure (to Western audiences) disco gems into contemporary dance floor anthems. It stands as a bridge between the internet-born vaporwave subculture and the broader global interest in City Pop, helping to solidify YUNG BAE's position as a leader in the genre.
