Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026
Nina Yamada
Tokyo-to-London selector curating Japanese deep-listening records
Based in London, United Kingdom · From Kamakura, Japan · Plays most in London, Tokyo, Paris
For Hotaru:Analog:Ambient she is programming the room more than driving a dancefloor: Japanese ambient, minimal, and kankyō ongaku records, played for texture, space, and low-volume detail. The set is built for a focused listen, with the turntable/light concept pushing the atmosphere toward gallery-grade calm rather than club pressure.
More about Nina Yamada
Born in Kamakura and now based in London, Nina Yamada founded Jazzy Sport London in 2022 as the first international branch of the Japanese label and record store Jazzy Sport. She sits between the UK jazz-dance community around Footnotes and Japanese record culture, and the ADE booking leans into her role as a selector and curator rather than a straight DJ.
A story
She launched a monthly jam night with the UK jazz-dance community Footnotes in April 2025. In their own words
