In January 2018, Masayoshi released the Hardcore EP, featuring three tracks that received strong support from A-Trak, the head of the label. His one-hour mix was broadcast on Diplo and Friends on BBC Radio 1. In February of the same year, his remix of “Labbits Cage” by Juyen Sebulba was released via Yellow Claw’s label, Barang Family.
