“It felt like entering a vibrant new world,” says Benjamin Belaga, founder of Yoyaku, remembering when he first moved to Paris from Strasbourg in 2015. “Around that time Paris was experiencing a renaissance of vinyl culture and clubbing. There were new labels, new promoters, and a rapidly evolving scene hungry for fresh sounds.” That’s when Yoyaku was born, becoming a fundamental part of the scene with its distinct sound and a collective of artists that built a following worldwide.
