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.

Track 3) Tiefseetaucher - OneOneOne

Straight-forward, rolling techno at its most mesmerising and hypnotic.

A sly creeper. Clocking in at an imposing nine minutes, with an arpeggiated clusterfuck of bleepy techno pads, squishy flavours and shuffling hi-hats.

Back on his very own No More Mailouts, after stepping outside for well-received excursions to both Pineapple Records and 1985, Sir Hiss continues to reshape his beloved Grime through fresh cross-pollination with timeless elements from other genres.

A Side 'Geist' folds in elements of robo-funk atop a classic example of (dubiously named) Sinogrime, while on 'Mothership 100.3', hints of Acid and Electro merge with the hybrid Dark Garage / Proto-Grime styles that bubbled to the surface around 2001-2003, and that still inspire to this day.
