The Yussef Dayes Experience - MT. Fuji FM Hosted By Giles Peterson (12" Shibazakura Pink Marble Vinyl + Obi Strip)

This releasee is strictly limited to 250 copies and is subject to cutbacks.

Mount Fuji FM is a stunning new limited edition gatefold vinyl from visionary drummer and producer Yussef Dayes, capturing live performances of pre-released and new material featuring Minami Kizuki, as well as Yussef's regular collaborators Venna, Rocco Paladino and Elijah Fox. Interspersed between the music is exclusive commentary from Yussef himself and legendary broadcaster Gilles Peterson. The project offers a rare window into Yussef’s creative world; a meeting of cultures, rhythms, and spirit inspired by the landscapes of Japan.

The gatefold vinyl comes with an Obi strip pressed in marbled Shibazakura Pink, a vibrant shade inspired by the Japanese springtime flower known for its resemblance to “lawn cherry blossoms.” The artwork, created by celebrated artist Barka, complements the music’s organic beauty with intricate, hand-drawn textures and colour.

Inside, a beautifully crafted booklet includes:
Full transcriptions of the Yussef and Gilles Peterson interviews, in both Japanese and English Detailed illustrations and photographs from the live sessions Personal thank-yous from Yussef Dayes

A truly special collector’s piece, Mount Fuji FM encapsulates Yussef’s global sound and artistic vision.
