Yonaka is a catalog of six-hour sets, inspired by destinations across the world and synchronized with the sunset wherever you are. You buy a set; at dusk, it begins. Four hours in, you're at the peak. Six hours in, the city is quiet again.
Electronic music was born to hold a night. Somewhere along the way, the thirty-minute set became the format — a podcast shape, not a dusk-to-dawn shape. Yonaka is built around a six-hour arc: one hour of dusk, five hours of night. One body of work, one artist, one place.
The sunset is not decoration. It is the cue. When the sun drops where you are, the Lisbon set begins. On a rooftop in Berlin, on a train through Kyoto, alone in a kitchen in Mexico City — the arc stays intact. The experience is tied to the sun, to nature, to the night.
Everything else — the visuals, the interface, the typography — is in service of one idea: somewhere, right now, it is midnight. We take you there.
Each set is an artist's vision of a place — from the Maldives to New York to Johannesburg. The experience starts an hour before your sunset. Wherever you are, live the same night.
Dusk (1h) · Night (2h) · Peak (2h) · Descent (1h). One artist writes all six hours as a single composition.
Miss the start? Tap in at 02:14 and you're at 02:14. The set runs as a clock, not a file. Everyone is in the same place at the same time.
A new rotation on the first of every month. Ten artists, ten cities, ten nights to inhabit. Champions and emerging talent side by side.
Venues, brands or teams who want Yonaka several times a month? A tailored arrangement can be designed with you. On request.
Six hours. One artist. No cuts, no compression. The time to build, to hold the tension, to let the night breathe — and to let the artist unfold.
Yonaka books ten artists a month, no hierarchy. If you compose long form and want six uninterrupted hours of sunset to work with, send us what you'd do with them.
The streaming era flattened music into the same shape: three minutes, three hours of playlist, three platforms at once. An artist's craft — the slow build, the tension carefully held, the one mistake they covered for — disappears in that format. Yonaka is the bold bet that format creates value: the same artist, the same sounds, but given the time they were built for, the experience becomes an immersion worth stepping into.
We're not trying to be a radio. We're not trying to be Spotify. We're a room with a sunset in it.
Ten sets are live this month. Each triggers at your local sunset — wherever you are.
