MDC.322 Yu Yang

Shanghai tastemaker Yu Yang pulls us into her twilight zone, navigating deep hypnotic house, synthy techno and tracky minimal groovers for the after hours inclined. @yuyang11 Q. As a music lover that has lived across multiple corners of the globe, bouncing between London, Shanghai and Bali and having spent time living in NYC, what sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed? A. All the life experiences in different places exposed me to different sounds & communities and helped me discover the core element of sound that I am attracted to - synth, groove and flow; and myself as a person of what experiences I am looking for on the dancefloor, which is feeling emotions and being introspective on the dancefloor. Sometimes it’s fun, sometimes it’s overwhelming, sometimes it’s even unpleasant, but it’s all part of the journey. This set goes a bit deep and trippy so I think it could be listened to at after parties, taking a walk or going for a run in the evening, or any time when you feel like being on a music journey. Q. Are there any records in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these songs that resonate with you so much? So many but if I have to choose: Bullet Proof by Hd Substance Synth-driven. Smooth groove. Rolling waves that go deep. Wata Igarashi & Polygonia - Cross Passage The most techno track on the whole set. Love a rolling bassline pushing deeper and deeper. Keplrr – 4DRK Been playing a lot of Keplrr lately. This one drifts on the calmer side, while others dive deeper, more emotional. A constant balance of techno and breaks, weaving feelings into every layer. Q. You’re spending more and more time playing in the UK and Europe these days, where do you feel your uniquely global sound has been well received of late? A. Japan and the United Kingdom both really champion this sound—through festivals like Rural and Houghton, and artists such as Powder, DJ Nobu, Wata Igarashi, Craig Richards, Jane Fitz and many more. Feeling inspired—and lucky—to move between Asia and the UK within this scene.
