YAANO Furthers His Ingenious Momentum With Bass-Heavy, Genre-Blending Four-Track EP ‘READY? GO’ on NIGHTMODE

British producer YAANO makes a triumphant return to NIGHTMODE with his genre-defying ‘READY? GO’ EP, an electrifying four-track project slated for release on July 11. Known for seamlessly weaving diverse genres into his sound, YAANO’s latest EP boldly ventures through drum and bass, dubstep, UK garage, house, and electronica, further establishing his innovative presence in electronic music.

Standout track “WAY2” sees YAANO collaborating with Dutch innovator Jade Sierra, whose songwriter craftsmanship shines through on the track’s hyperpop-inflected vocals—taking the form of a dreamy female hook that captures the heartache of unbalanced romantic pain. Over cinematic melodies and choir harmonies, the track escalates into frenzied synth pulses and thunderous drumline breaks, creating a stirring yet dancefloor-ready anthem about lingering heartache long after the other has moved on.

The EP’s earlier singles have already set a blistering precedent with features on UKF, IHouseU, Frontview Magazine, and many more: “USED2,” featuring alt-electronic force MADI, takes breakup energy into uncharted terrain, slashing through warped house grooves with distorted synths and ghostly toplines. “Let Go,” a soul-baring cut with jazz-rooted vocalist Vanessa, balances cathartic tension and studio precision. From clattering claps to bass textures carved out of granite, YAANO sculpts emotional chaos into danceable structure.

Closing the project is “IN2,” a deceptive curveball that finds beauty in distortion. Built on a rugged four-on-the-floor bassline that growls beneath the surface, the track is softened by upbeat melodies and flickering vocal chops. The contrast is magnetic, giving the track a radiant lift even at its heaviest.

YAANO’s track record includes standout collaborations with scene staples IMANU, Kasra, Klinical, and Particle, while Jade Sierra, fresh from label success with NIGHTMODE via the Malixe collaboration “Haven,” brings a unique, emotionally charged vocal approach that has already caught attention from tastemakers Zeds Dead, Alison Wonderland, and ALOK.

‘READY? GO’ affirms YAANO’s place as a producer who thrives on range without compromising clarity. Across four tracks, he threads emotion and precision through a spectrum of electronic styles, always with purpose. Arriving courtesy of the burgeoning NIGHTMODE crew, the EP reflects the label’s continued focus on forward-thinking, genre-fluid talent and positions YAANO as a key voice in that movement.

“‘WAY2’ is about how we rarely carry the weight of a heartbreak evenly. Seeing someone else move on can make it more difficult to let go. I’m very grateful for YAANO to have me on this track and I’m also very excited to be back with NIGHTMODE.—Jade Sierra
