!!!: Yadnus EP

A digital-only collection of remixes – source material lifted from latest LP Myth Takes (review) – this five-tracker is headed up by a straight-faced direct transfer of ‘Yadnus’, albeit in radio edit form. Undeniably a highlight from the bi-coastal collective’s best album yet, the four-minute cut is a filthily throbbing masterpiece of low-trousered funk, that ‘f’ word employed for the best possible reasons here. This can not be compared to the newly redecorated interior of a high-flying middle-class twunt-fuck businessman’s crash-pad on the Isle of Dogs. “Fuh-u-nky, yah.” Die.

With one of those widdly guitars wobbling away in the background – guitars only come in two models these days, y’know: those that widdle-wobble and those that riff-crunch-slay‘Yadnus’ is a compact hit of dancefloor feverishness, intense in its effectiveness. By contrast, the remixes here – of the title track and also ‘Heart of Hearts’ and ‘Must Be The Moon’ – are of varying quality: Emperor Machine’s dub version of the latter doesn’t add a thing to the original track and, subsequently, tumbles into the why-bother bracket, but Berlin-based DJ Kaos’ bleep-heavy shuffle of ‘Heart Of Hearts’ is pleasingly bonkers: ‘70s soulfulness meets Tron-tinged 8-bit digital hand-clap beats.

Essential? Nah, of course not. But if your cursor finds its way to the ‘Yandus’ EP, you’ll find it complements the feverous pace of Myth Takes quite excellently.

i love this, so so much.


Love Yadnus so much

It's just so GLAM. Sounds like T-Rex or something. They opened with it the other night and it sounded the sheezy


Atlas, anyone?


yes.

thought it was atlas for the first few bars.
when did garry glitter cease being a peadophile and start being cool?

the kaos remix is pretty decent though.
