Out today, a supreme banger from a fresh face on YUKU — Lazarus — who also has a beautiful body of work coming on the label later in the year.

"Created in an emotional state of rage this track channels the feeling of helplessness, disbelief and consternation. All done in one single night this was my way to process all those feelings in the way I know the best - with drum machines and synthesizers.“
—Lazarus

This one has been in all of our dj sets for the last 12 months, and it never fails to get the floor moving!

We're delighted to release a second album from amazing Turkish creator Granul!

'Groove Palette' is out as a Bandcamp exclusive for the next two weeks and is also available to download as part of the YUKU Bandcamp subscription.

"Counting from one to ten is one of the first things we learn when we try to speak a new language. It's also a universal language we use in our beats. Numbers are the inspiration source of this album, and its roots are in the inherent rhythmical existence of numbers in music. There is a numerical theme in all the tracks. Every number matches with different grooves and rhythms, and it all comes together around a single “groove pallet.""
— Granul

Bandcamp exclusive: https://granul.bandcamp.com/album/groove-palette

By supporting YUKU through our new Bandcamp subscription, you will be helping us continue our journey to platform fresh artists, exciting ideas, and exceptional releases!

The world around us has changed so much since we started the label a few years ago, and we could never have imagined that the pandemic, war, and inflation were on the immediate horizon in those early days. We understand very well the effects that some of these things are having on peoples' lives, as we are experiencing them ourselves.

For this reason, we've decided to make the label more accessible and provide you, our awesome listeners, a new way in which you can obtain all of the music we release at a reduced price as it's released, and at the same time, the regular contributions that you provide to the label will help us be even bolder in future with our exploration of genres and aesthetics.

All subscription income for each month will be allocated to the releases we put out for that month. We pay our artists regularly and fairly, and as the label curators, we have not taken any payments from YUKU to date. We have reinvested the label share back into the label, platform, and projects, and we plan to continue doing that for the time being. So your subscription income is going directly towards artists and the platform that's housing their works — you are the ones powering this art project!

Our $8 per month Bandcamp subscription will provide you:

— All future YUKU releases as they are released in digital format while you are subscribed
— YUKU SF (the "Short-Form" digital-only) releases from our back-catalog to date, plus a few additional releases (you can check the exact list of back-catalog releases you will receive further below)
— We will be releasing some of our vinyl-only white labels to Bandcamp subscribers over time
— 30% discount on vinyl and merch

Big love!

Out today on YUKU
La Dame — Furtives (feat. Goldie B & Cyril Atef)

"For my fourth EP (my first on YUKU), I was heavily inspired by "furtives" — polymorphous urban creatures that metabolize everything they touch, from Alain Damasio's science-fiction novel named "Les Furtifs". As a big reader, I love trying to create bridges between music and literature. My passions are music and languages. Through my music, I aim to create universes while questioning textures, traditional rhythms, and the boundaries of club music. Through languages, I tend to understand Alterity and perspectives of others on our world.

I'm trying my best for my productions being risky and surprising, touching on different styles, cultures, and languages, while connecting percussion, warm sounds, and exploration. My goal is always to reach polyglottism, joy and dialogue.

With "Vuvuzela", a track wrapped in a 'hard drum' beat celebrating the nightlife in the city, I highlighted rhythm. Through a work on different sounds like triangle, glass, birds whistle and a deep bass, I wanted to illustrate a night walk as if I could both fly and crawl quickly in the streets, walls, undergrounds. "Whatcha Gonna Do" is a grime-y collaboration with my friend and artist Goldie B, and it wanders in a secret, and oriental universe. Her voices reminds me of witch, questioning your soul and caring with mysterious brew - elements that I found as well in the sample of Arabic women voices in the instrumental. The last track, "On Wheel", is enriched with the participation of percussionist Cyril Atef — it's a call for dancing and club enthusiasm with a UK funky feeling : I worked with this fabulous drummer before, and every time it's a fantastic explosion of solar energy."
—La Dame
