20 year old half Japanese and half English Yuto Nagayama producer hailing from Japan. He started creating music at the age of 16. While he had no formal music production education, he knew that he wanted to create music for as many people as would listen. So he studied up on how DJ's make music, and found a program that suited his purposes. He downloaded a demo version of 'Fruity Loops' and started messing around with the knobs and modulators until he created something that sounded vaguely like real music. Ever since that time, creating music on computer has become his passion.

Yuto's not opposed to creating tunes in any genre - Trance, Rock, Classical, Funk, Thrash Metal, Breakbeat, Hip-Hop or R & B. He's always looking to broaden his horizons. Club music remains one of his main loves.

There have been a few artists in the Trance genre that really made an impression on him while he was in the first stages of music production. He started out by producing Psytrance music, so naturally emulated artists like Infected Mushroom, Skazi, Asterix, G.M.S., Yahel, Eskimo, Protoculture, Alien Project and many others. Yuto pretty much listened to a host of Psytrance music to get a general idea of what fans liked to listen to, and what caught peoples' attention. Eventually he developed a style of his own and took it from there. If he had to describe his style of Psytrance music, he'd say it was mostly hardcore party music, accentuated by a hard kick, a rough, thick bassline, some metal riffs and more then a few slightly eerie and twisted sounds that he couldn't really put into words. And yet at times it is melodic - flowing with musical synths, acoustic strings and a little symphony in the mix.

Another genre of Trance that fascinates him is Cyber Trance. Yuto started creating Cyber tracks a few years back. He knows a thing or two about the fans of this genre of music, and they certainly inspire him. At the same time, he wanted to make something that would appeal to a larger crowd of electronic music fans. So he listened to popular artists like Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Scooter, ATB, Mauro Picotto, Above and Beyond, Svenson and Gielen and others. Once again he set out to create his own original style; something that was fresh, and commercial enough to catch peoples’ attention, his Cyber Trance is slightly harder then the typical fare. The tunes remain very melodic and catchy.

What does the future hold? Yuto would like to branch out in more musical directions, including producing an album of breakbeat tracks, laced with a lot of vocals. He's also had a dream of making my own record label someday, and perhaps in the future, this dream can become a reality.
