YNFND MP3 & Music Downloads at Juno Download

Review: Since November 2004, YNFND have pursued 'drunken-music fanatic freedoms' under this name: an abbreviation of You Need Friends Not Diskos. They hold concerts, parties and other forms of cultural research in and around Rostock in Northern Germany. On offer here is the best of both worlds, well.. several: electronic dance and world/jazz and punk. Get down for a debut full length straight outta 'Kundistan'. Eastern exoticism, shimmering digital electronics and classical instrumentation all collide wonderfully on this full length. It was honed via their many live performances across Germany's finest venues, including Kater Blau and Klunkerkranich in Berlin, Hamburg's Golem and festivals including Greenland Festival and 3000Grad. A hypnotic yet captivating listen from start to finish.

Review: It was late 2016 when M.RUX's In The Hold EP was released on YNFND. The cult label from Rostock now returns with six handcrafted remixes. The result is a record as diverse as it is seemingly endless in its intricacy. The integrity of the original field recordings and samples remain intact, while each of these downtempo tracks bares the signature sound of each remixer. The label boss has assembled an enviable troupe of friends and lovers from all corners of the globe. There are appearances by Brazil's Pigmaliao, San Francisco based Nonagon and the pan-Atlantic duo History of Colour: featuring El Buho and Barrio Lindo. There's also Ninze's off-kilter afterhour excursion, Irishman in Berlin Peter Power's warped acid wobble and the creeping/crawling arrangement by RLHBSLCN.

Review: Berlin's M Rux is known for an artistic whimsy that sees him stray from tough beats to down-tempo Balearic psychedelia and even leftfield soundscapes. Here on In The Hold, he fuses elements of all these style to great effect. There are six cuts, highlights of which include the quirky blues-meets-tech-pop of "Over The Hill", the fragile minimal beats and ancient blues vocals of "Someone Else" and the low-slung late night atmospherics of "Whats The Matter Now". Top quality stuff!
