Releases November 21, 2025
Prepare for the latest offering from Tokyo’s own Yuu Udagawa! Her highly anticipated Urban Physicality EP is set to arrive on November 21, 2025, released through the respected Razor-N-Tape label. Udagawa, an artist based in the energetic center of Tokyo, has crafted a truly unique musical synthesis, expertly merging the richness of analog warmth with a sharp digital sensitivity. Her creations consistently achieve a beautiful balance between moments of deep reflection and a compelling, rhythmic pulse.
The Urban Physicality EP represents a compelling journey through electronic structures, jazz undertones, and leftfield rhythms, highlighting Udagawa’s continuous artistic development. This project features tracks brimming with immersive textures and deep rhythmic layers, clearly demonstrating her multifaceted approach to production.
The experience kicks off with “In Your Eyes (12” Mix),” a track that immediately envelops listeners in rich, analog-infused atmospheres, capturing both intimacy and forward movement. Following that is “Recollection (12” Mix),” a nearly seven-minute piece that establishes a spacious, immersive groove, underscoring Udagawa’s mastery in blending electronic and jazz influences.
The title track, “Urban Physicality,” is presented in two compelling forms. The original 12” Mix offers the core vision, while Takuya Matsumoto contributes a delicate Piano Mix that emphasizes emotional depth and refined execution. Matsumoto also delivers a separate, distinct remix of “Urban Physicality,” providing a fresh textural perspective that complements the EP’s overall feel.
What distinguishes Yuu Udagawa’s work is its state of perpetual motion—it’s never static, always unfolding. Her skill in bridging the analog and digital realms allows her music to forge a direct emotional connection with the listener while pushing boundaries in contemporary electronic music. As a Tokyo-based creator, she filters the city’s vibrant cultural energy into a uniquely global viewpoint.
For anyone drawn to leftfield electronic music, or for listeners who value compositions that seamlessly balance a compelling groove with evocative ambience, the Urban Physicality EP is a vital experience. Whether you’re engaging in focused listening or spinning it for a club setting, this EP offers a listening experience that is both invigorating and warming. Look out for this release across digital platforms and on select vinyl. With this project, Yuu Udagawa solidifies her position as a distinct and important voice on Razor-N-Tape and within the worldwide contemporary electronic scene.
