YNZN is one of the South Asian community's leading lights with his recent releases which deliver club salvoes with a daring minimalism and directness that belies textural depths and canny use of space. A DJ and producer from Kathmandu, YNZN constantly ducks layers in and out to play with tension and release carving out room to show off his rhythmic dexterity and razor-sharp sound designs. He often threads together global currents of bass music, broken techno and percussive sounds into his sets.
YNZN’s recent and most daring outing yet “Body Rock” cements his status not only as a flagbearer for the Nepalese scene but as one of the most thrilling producers anywhere right now – focusing his mutant club productions into even more minimalist and direct frameworks.
