finest organic techno on deep sound channel

yugen’s third entry, laurine, arrives courtesy of los angeles-based producer and these things take time label-head b. hayes. at just 22 years old, hayes has packed remarkable perspective into this immersive deep-house four-tracker. it’s the work of a true participant. as if hayes work as a dj, producer, and label owner wasn’t enough, he has also put in time as a diy party promoter (he threw the beloved like i, love u parties that used to go down in the chinatown area of chicago) and a production assistant at chicago dance institution smart bar. the sum of all these parts is hayes impeccable ability to balance functionality with sonic taste.

may 20th 2013 will see koreless release his debut solo ep yugen on young turks. following on from previous releases 4d/mti and lost in tokyo, and his collaboration with sampha for short stories, welsh born producer koreless has well and truly defined his own sound. existing somewhere between soulful electronica and eno-like ambience, the emotion filled soundscapes of y?gen give the listener a glimpse into the vast concepts imagined by koreless and presented through his music, artwork and performance.
