Cowboy Family News

COWBOY FAMILY kicks off their new edit series, MEAT HOPE., with its first installment: a long-circulated club weapon finally making its way to vinyl. Already spun across countless dancefloors, this much-requested cut now sees the light of day as an official release.

Crafted under aliases by members of the COWBOY FAMILY crew, these edits reflect a playful, subversive spirit—familiar, yet twisted just enough to make them irresistible on the floor.

Stuff a banana in the muffler of a Beverly Hills cop car and head out to grab this vinyl—once it’s on your decks, you’ll be “easily” lighting up dancefloors everywhere.

Vinyl only.

COWBOY FAMILY, led by Wada Yosuke, is a DJ collective active in Tokyo’s burgeoning underground scene. Launching an imprint in 2024, COWBOY FAMILY RECORDS, the label opened proceedings with Cowboy Family Business – a limited issue V/A pressing featuring Mr. Ho, Takashi Himeoka and Rio Kawamoto.

In quick succession, the label proudly introduces its second offering: Internet O.G.s, by Rio Kawamoto. Sporting nostalgic, computer-inspired track titles, the EP references the sounds that characterised Rio’s youth in the early 2000s; old-school electro, electroclash, and raw-textured house music.

The release also includes a remix from Seoul-based DJ and producer Mogwaa, furthering COWBOY FAMILY’s ties with the broader Asian electronic music scene
