Hamacide is the alias of Yusuke Hama, a producer who crafts music that lives in the space between familiar and fantastical. Born in Atlanta to Japanese parents, his path has led him through New York and Shanghai before settling in Tokyo - each place leaving its mark on his sonic palette.
His productions often pair heavy beats with cinematic textures, frequently bringing in vocalists to create something that's both melodic and slightly off-center. It's music that can feel aggressive and beautiful at the same time.
Since his 2007 debut as LEYODE on <a href="spotify:artist:0ZsnKPvBsvvycnET2GZMrG" data-name="Prefuse 73">Prefuse 73</a>'s Eastern Developments label, Hamacide has released music on labels such as Oilworks (Fukuoka), Blacksmoker (Tokyo), and SVBKVLT (Shanghai). In 2015, he co-founded Twin Capital, a Tokyo/Kyoto-based label built on the belief that the most interesting sounds emerge when artists from different corners of the world collide and create together.
