born in the hammersmith west london. youthstar was into music from a very young age, relocated to france at just 16, and quickly discovered the drum & bass scene in bordeaux. he performed a load of shows around france with his partner at that time, elisa do brasil from 2004 to 2008. then he linked up with the infamous dirtyphonics and toured with them across the world for 3 years. as a true entertainer, youthstar quickly came up in the scene and was nominated 4 years in a row (2012 – 2015) as “best new comer mc” & “best mc” at the “drum & bass arena awards” in london.
he has worked with renowned drum & bass and bass music artists from around the globe including andy c, netsky, nero, borgore, metrik, shimon and the list goes on!

shikantaza is a term used in the buddhist school soto zen and it literally means “nothing but (shikan) precisely (da) sitting (za).” it describes the adopted attitude during zazen meditation.
five years after their album racing with the sun, chinese man is back with a new opus, shikantaza. composed between marseilles, bombay and their secret refuge in the french countryside, the 16 tracks of this new album bring you back to the roots of the chinese man identity. with this new album, chinese man creates a link between its musical origins and its new aspirations.
shikantaza is an invitation to let go, to capture the moment… it is a personal path to enlightenment.

it was inevitable: since their first collaboration in 2012 for the making of the track ta bom, the mc and the trio were constantly having their paths crossed, either in studio or on stages. it was then, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the label in the beautiful reunion island, and around a glass of rum and a cigar that the decision was made: the journey will be release in october 2015 and the trip is about to start, for its production, the three chinese disciples will draw from the darkest record bins: banjo method, 30’s music, flutes from the andes the goal rather is simple: step out from the usual territory used by the sample addicts and get as far away as possible from the hip-hop to then come back with new perspectives. five of the titles were produced by chinese mab and one by leyan and tomapam.
comes on translucent, orange coloured double vinyl, housed in gatefold sleeve with download code included.
