Comment: this issue by Yan includes a couple of tracks. The first of them, the title track, is a catchy, a little bit infantile (in a good sense, of course) bumper embellished with shimmery synthetic layers and glitch- y noises. Furthermore, the metrics of the pace will be changing throughout this long-running track. DJ GO COME ON! is thought to be presented at the dance floors characterized by electro-driven vibes and chopped vowel samples. Indeed, it can be considered a genuine exemplar of Hi-NRG! In a word, the result is suggestive and amusing.

Comment: indeed, this handful of tracks used to reflect upon soccer inspired obviously by the World Championship hosted in Brazil in summer of this year. More profoundly, the artist follows a formula blending well-known soccer motives and anthems and crowd noise with harsh, intensely slamming rhythms (mostly jungle-related beats). However, at times the intenseness is variegated with more relaxing, hovering intuitions atop. The best title is Gary Neville`s Orgasm Song (it is a fucked-up shit). And David Moyes gets whipped in another composition. In a word, the beat meets soccer player`s brain

I Have A Box Bunnies (Fwonk)

This 6-track set of a debut album consists of a subtle net of indietronica/poptronica, caustic electronic pop, fusion, downtempo and post-rock as well, having its roots apparently set in the synthetic approach of obscure bands in the 70`s, of kosmische musik, more detailly, drifting between rock-esque sensitivity and ambient music, respectively. So it is placed between soothing and dynamic, between static and trippy, having mainly based upon extended guitar chords, unarticulated but epic vocal segments, cluster-laid rhythm sections (sometimes march-angled) and airy or shimmering synth wisps coiling up into the upper dimensions at times. In a kind of weird way, it can be considered either austere or lush at the same time. In a nutshell, if you are used to be a sympathizer of GY!BE, Air, Monokle, or God Is An Astronaut, this album is up here to be directed for you.
