Junkdog continues to carve out a reputation for discovering new talent with the impending release of Yoon’s ‘Boundaries EP’, featuring 3 original songs and a remix of the EP’s title track from Jody Wisternoff.
The Romanian duo, comprising Victor and Ionut, are one of the country’s hotly tipped live electronic music acts, with a large home-grown following and international fans including Sasha.
The pair decided to form a band, after Victor, already a locally renowned producer, saw Ionut performing – we kid you not – in a Boyz II Men accapella tribute band in the streets of Bucharest (Ionut had studied clarinet and played in a chamber orchestra before discovering DJing and music production). They subsequently bonded over shared influences ranging from Underworld to Bonobo and The Knife.
Yoon’s connection with Junkdog began after they sent an unsolicited demo to the label, who loved what they heard, asked them to remix one of their releases, and work on more music. The ‘Boundaries EP’ is their first release for the imprint.
A highlight of their live sets this year, ‘Boundaries’ is their blissed out, slow-chugger with a dreamy end-of-the-night piano line. ‘Strobe’ sees Ionut channel Ian Brown over Yoon’s signature tripped out, dubby beats, while ‘Destination’’s nod to UK baggy takes the Manchester influence one step further, making it their most anthemic track to date. The package is completed by a remix of ‘Boundaries’ from Jody Wisternoff.
