Kuniyuki Takahashi aka KUNIYUKI is a sound designer and producer based in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. KUNIYUKI’s music is a manifestation of culturally diverse and universal sounds not limited to any particular genre of music, and continues to expand its horizon creating a new style of music, and is highly praised by many internationally recognized producers and DJs. KUNIYUKI dedicated a song titled “Precious Hall” to his local and deep house Mecca in Sapporo and the song was released from the “Natural Resource"; the sub-label of the Spiritual Life Music ran by Joe Claussell. KUNIYUKI also contributed a remix on the classic song, “Cascade of Colour” for the Ananda Project (released from the Cutting Edge) featuring compilation works by artists like Dego aka 4Hero. A new single,"Earth Beats” was then released as KUNIYUKI from the Mule Musiq, and was appraised by artists such as François Kevorkia, Larry Heard, Ian Obrien and Joe Claussell, and supported by many in the industry. In 2006, a long waited album, “We are Together” was released featuring all of his past appraised and new works. As a live performer, KUNIYUKI continues to expand the depth of lively and raw vibrations of music, and this was evident during his album’s world tour including his participation at Joe Claussell’s Sacred Rhythm Gathering in NYC, where he shared an outstanding and very remarkable show- and this has become one of the most memorable Sacred Rhythm shows to this date. This new and second album to be released on November 24, 2007 from Ultra-Vybe is a collection of works conceived from inspiring meetings and connections with many International DJs and artists thru countless live performances. One of the works in this new album getting a very strong attention is the “Guiter Song", a spiritually deep, house tune featuring a beautiful vibrations of guitar. “the Session", a song conceived during a session with a “brightest-hope", Germany’s label, K7’s new generation-deep house artist, He

Groove Mag (GER): “Der ausgereifte Stil von Kuniyuki Takahashi bietet sich geradezu für Remixe an, kann hier doch eine ausformulierte Vorlage von verschiedenen Blickwinkeln aus neu interpretiert werden. In diesem Sinn bietet die Zusammenstellung von Remixen seines Longplayers All These Things unterschiedlichste Interpretationen der Stücke Takahashis, die nicht nur abwechslungsreich sind, sondern auch wirklich Neues im Vergleich zum Originalalbum aufzeigen. Die beeindruckendste Interpretation liefert dabei wieder mal Theo Parrish: Gewohnt dicht produziert erzeugt er mit einer sich einschleifenden Synthiefigur und extrem langen Spannungsbögen einen melancholischen Midtempo-Housetrack. In einem Remix von „The Session“ verwandelt Takahashi das Original in jazzigen Detroittechno. Dieser ist, genau wie der Chateau-Flight-Remix von „Earth Beats“, eindeutig auf die Tanzfläche ausgerichtet. So ist diese Remixsammlung insbesondere für Gitarren- oder Querflöten-Allergiker interessant, die beim ursprünglichen Album schon mal Ausschlag bekommen haben dürften. Die Veröffentlichungen von Takahashi bleiben im gegenwärtigen Musikkosmos weiterhin absolut einmalig. CDG”

IDJ mag: “Does Mule have bottomless pockets? Not content with signing big-hitters including Radioslave, Minilogue, Lawrence and DJ Koze, these remixes from the likes of Theo Parrish, Cobblestone Jazz, Chateau Flight, Henrik Scwharz would have most labels' account departments despairing. Happily, the artists involved almost all pull it out of the bag, indicating that Mule is way more than a big-name cash cow. Theo Parrish is in epic slo-mo mode, his fourteen-minute long remix inhabiting the hazy ground between lounge-y disco and psychedelic house, and Schwarz’s Hispanic strumming and flute flutters prove that incorporating world music influences needn’t be an exercise in terminal tedium. Meanwhile, Chateau Flight offer one of their more aggressive disco-electro reworks, and Cobblestone Jazz do their ‘live jazz and techno noises’ thing with typically impressive flair. Best of all is Manc lad Tony Lionni’s snazzy take on ‘Birds’, a nigh-on flawless example of how do to do modern deep house properly. Anyone with a penchant for deep, tech-ish, disco-ish, house-ish goodness of the highest order should investigate forthwith.”

Kiki: “absolutely beautyful! so many good versions, but the self remixed a mountain of one take the lead!”

Laurent Garnier: “this is maybe the most inspirational record that i have heard in few months Absolutely stunning”

Mathias Tanzman: “von dem original-album selbst war ich echt begeistert und war echt erfreut zu hören, dass es ein remix-album gibt. Die meisten Songs finde ich als originale aussagekräftiger und intensiver, auch wenn sie weniger für die tanzfläche geeignet sind. die besten songs der remix-platte sind: - birds (tony lioni remix) - all these things (kuniyuki remix)”

ptoile: “great remix of theo parrish.”

Sian: “great collection of spaced out moments”
