EDM30 assessment

Hiroko Yamamura is listed by Insomniac in Techno. Hiroko Yamamura’s captured release history contains 25 dated entries, spanning October 21, 2016 to February 5, 2026. The newest is “Elevator Music: Hiroko Yamamura (DJ Mix),” a DJ mix. This establishes a documented sequence of published work; the earliest entry here is a catalog boundary, not a verified career debut. Shared artist-credit lines appear on 15 captured entries. Sian & Hiroko Yamamura is credited on 2 entries, including “Set You Free - Single” (2025). Hiroko Yamamura & DJ Hyperactive is credited on 2 entries, including “Hiroko Yamamura b2b DJ Hyperactive at ARC Music Festival, 2024 (DJ Mix)” (2024). Submerge & Hiroko Yamamura is credited on 2 entries, including “The Uncommon Enemy Remixes - EP” (2019). A shared collection credit can represent a collaboration, remix or another credited role; it is not proof that every credited artist co-produced every track.

The rights line on “Set You Free - Single” reads “℗ 2025 Octopus Recordings.” An earlier reference, “Moon Rocks - EP” (2016), lists “℗ 2016 Phuture Trax Records.” Rights credits identify the release’s published ownership or licensing context. They do not by themselves establish an exclusive label signing, management relationship or personal endorsement. Spotify displayed 15.1K monthly listeners on September 8, 2026. This is a platform audience snapshot, not a total fan count. The sample contains 2 entries dated within the 365 days ending September 24, 2026, compared with 6 in the preceding 365-day interval. Recent reference points include “Set You Free - Single” (November 28, 2025); “Elevator Music: Hiroko Yamamura (DJ Mix)” (February 5, 2026). Counts reflect this captured catalog, so they should not be read as a complete production total or a measured change in popularity.

Hiroko Yamamura’s captured release history contains 25 dated entries, spanning October 21, 2016 to February 5, 2026. The newest is “Elevator Music: Hiroko Yamamura (DJ Mix),” a DJ mix. This establishes a documented sequence of published work; the earliest entry here is a catalog boundary, not a verified career debut.

03 · Release history & structure
Documented record

The captured sequence covers 9 distinct release years. It includes 6 entries explicitly titled as singles, 5 EPs or other multi-track collections, 1 remix editions and 13 DJ mixes.

Analytical judgment

“Moon Rocks - EP” (2016) provides a longer-form reference point, followed later in this sample by “Champagne - EP” (2025). Read alongside the singles, this suggests a catalog built around both individual tracks and larger listening projects.

Sources & analytical limits

This dossier uses public catalog records, artist and promoter profiles, and cited reporting. It is independent music analysis. Catalog history is a bounded sample: its first entry is not necessarily a debut, and alternate editions are not unique compositions. Shared credits do not establish each person’s production role. Release frequency does not measure popularity. Biographical statements retain their source attribution; editorial interpretation is labeled.
