THE YUME PROJECT CONTINUES...

So I kinow you've heard us speak about THE YUME PROJECT, and you are wondering exactly what it is, that will be revealed rather shortly, but it is important not to loose sight that everything we do is calcualted and for THE YUME PROJECT. We had the pleasure of having MELO-X shoot CHECK MY STYLE! and VENUS add her flavor to it (she is a dope Creatie Director, the props she brought were crazy!) which serves a very important piece to "the project."

CHECK MY STYLE! was about individuality vs conformity, and being able to make your own mold, while enjoying your favorite labels. We chose our favorites and decided to post them, if you took pics, and want us to email them to you, e-mail us at yumeuk@gmail.com

YUME X STARWAX

So as usual we always like to keep you abreast of some music that we find in our travels, and since our scope of music is world wide, we always bring you different music from different parts of the world. Once again we are back to highlighting someone from Japan. These cats are crazy a production crew called STARWAX, a U.S. swag all the way in Japan. Of course we know Hip Hop is universal, but these cats are taking it to another level. Check them out!

STARWAX - JACOB DIGITAL

I originally came to Japan in 2002 with the dream of producing Japanese hip-hop, but not speaking the language or knowing anybody it was kinda difficult to make connections. I just kept going to the clubs and trying to connect with rappers. After about 1 year of grinding, I was finally able to make the right connection at an Indie hip-hop label. There I started as one of their in-house producers for about 1 year, producing artists such as Corn Head, BRIER, etc. Around 2003 I met one of the head A&R's at Avex Entertainement, the biggest record label in Japan and he really liked my sound. Since then I've worked predominantly with Avex artists such as ARIA, LISA from m-flo, 24-7, Tohoshinki, and Koda Kumi. I also had the honor to work with Nitro Microphone Underground, one of Tokyo's most respected hip-hop groups., on their latest CD, "Special Force". Overall it's been a great experience to work with so many different talented people, and looking forward to more music in 2008!

STARWAX Music has been changing the sound of Japanese music ever since 2003. Originally from the US, but now living in Tokyo, STARWAX has gone from success to success producing multiple R&B/Hip-Hop artists in Japan such as Lisa from M-Flo, Nitro Microphone Underground, YA-KYIM, Twenty4-7, ARIA, and the list goes on. With other exciting projects coming up, be sure to stay tuned. respect!

YUME X FLY LADY DI X MARIO VAN PEEBLES X CHECK MY STYLE!

So in the diaspora of things that were taking place at CHECK MY STYLE! We over at YUME decided we should explain what the event CHECK MY STYLE! was about and why it was a success. Besides it being a dope ass party, it was meant to bridge personal FASHION style, with artistic expression, through MUSIC X ART in a social atmosphere. These are 3 of the 4 core values of YUME.

We decided to highlight FLY LADY DI because she epitomizes the YUME values, along with having a dope style, she has a great foundation for success. I mean sheesh she came to YUME with MARIO VAN PEEBLES, WHO DOES THAT! YUME represents the bridge between artisans and the community. If you peep the pics (besides them being really dope pics) you will see what we mean. We are not just a retail location, we're a movement! Be prepared IT'S COMING! Peep the pics
