Yamaneko is a frequent guest to NTS, appearing on various shows between 23 November 2015 and most recently on 11 September 2019. Yamaneko has been played on NTS over 110 times, featured on 100 episodes and was first played on 5 November 2014.

Yamaneko's world, things are rarely as they seem. Although Pixel Wave Embrace is the London-based producer's first release, he had quietly built up a reputation over the previous 12 months, with his tracks frequently appearing in sets by Mumdance, Logos and DJ Milktray.

Despite grime being a major influence on Yamaneko, there are no samples from grime records; instead, he twists samples from the places that you'd least expect into the sort of flat snares that you'd associate with classic records from unsung grime acts such as Imp Batch. Another key part of what makes Yamaneko tick is his love of new age and meditational cassettes.
