Steppin Up

ME1 001 / Celestial Being - Steppin Up (Joe Koshin 150 edit)

Worst Behavior Recs is thrilled to share our next release, Rinne, the debut EP from Taiwan native, LA resident Yunna @yunnamusic. "Rinne", Japanese for reincarnation, is the inspired sonic culmination of Yunna's personal journey toward self acceptance, self love, motherhood, and the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. The five track release traverses Yunna’s sonic past, carrying the torch for the hardcore continuum while articulating a fresh sound that bridges the gap between her classical music background and her love of underground sounds like jungle, footwork and hiphop.

Discovering her unique artistic voice has been a long journey of losing and reclaiming herself many times over. As a third culture kid, she struggled for years to understand her identity and express all the dynamic parts of herself–classically-trained musician, raver, promoter, fashion designer, and more. From taking on an American name to fit into her new home in the Bay, to years of performing in environments in the US and Asia where she felt pigeonholed, she was deeply frustrated by consistently feeling she was not allowed to fully express herself. After a long career performing as “Wolfbaby”, she changed her name to Yunna as part of the reclamation of her Asian roots and re-birthing of herself as an artist.

During an isolated covid pregnancy, Yunna was forced to reckon with her identity as an artist, as an Asian in America, and a mother-to-be, and truly ask herself what her legacy to her child would be. Facing up to her old fears and insecurities to finish a work wholly representing her, she felt brand new, reborn. When she came across the Rinne Kokyogaku, or Reincarnated Orchestra, a concept album by Geinoh Yamashirogumi* about the eternal cycles of birth, death, and rebirth, Yunna found a concept in line with both her beliefs as a Buddhist and experience reinventing herself as an artist.

Rinne perfectly summarized her last 7 year cycle of life, just in time for new births–her first child and first EP.

Remixes to follow.

*The same album inspired the creators of Akira, leading them to have musical collective Geinoh Yamashirogumi create the Akira soundtrack.

Purplemonk (@theodoros-efstathiou-37) joins Dream Schemes for our 14th release, delivering 2 vibey jungle tracks to get the dancefloor moving.

A side - Missing U - is a groovy number, starting off on a chilled melodic note with catchy arps before descending into beefy reese and amen madness.

B side - Feel It - starts off a bit more reserved, building up nice break work and melodics before firing out into pure breaks and bass. As the track moves on it goes full circle to bring back the chilled vibes.

🌊 Blue Horizons – 90s Liquid Drum & Bass Vibes

Blue Horizons takes you back to the golden age of 90s liquid drum & bass, where rhythm meets emotion and atmosphere flows like water. 💿🔥 Smooth rolling basslines, airy pads, and crisp percussion glide effortlessly through each track, capturing that classic blend of energy and introspection.

Nostalgic yet timeless, Blue Horizons pays homage to the era of underground clubs, smoky dancefloors, and sunrise afterparties — a liquid journey that’s both soulful and electrifying. 🌅🎧

Black Circuit

Just a quick megamix of the original version and the Jungle Massive 4 version of Rude And Deadly's Mash Dem Down.  Done in just an hour or two. I was going to do something else with this tune, but wouldn't work.  Lazy edits , more than one bassline and phazing beats all around!
