"Claustrophobic, disorienting, uncomfortable - ‘Only Time Will Tell’ consists of 3 of my latest attempts to push functional club tools as far into the realms of dissonance and abstraction as possible whilst retaining their inherent purpose as body-moving dancefloor tracks.

I’m drawn to sounds that are insistent, deliberate, futuristic and unorthodox. YUKU have always shared a similar vision, so it was little surprise when the label picked the very first 3 tracks I sent over in a large vault of demos - the exact 3 that I quietly hoped that they would take, in the exact order I felt would be most effective.

‘Inertia Of The Real’ has been the closing track for many of my sets over the past few months - unhinged electrical zaps appear out of nowhere and rain down over a sparse grime rhythm to catch the crowd off-guard and cause as much chaos as possible.

‘Plated Brass Recursion Mechanism’ continues the theme of frantic digital laser assault, but this time with a locked breakbeat groove and unyielding low-end snarl - more conventional beat patterns for electro and techno lovers, but weird and unpredcitable nonetheless.

Lastly, ‘Fool’s Errand’ dials back the intensity just a touch, with eerie pads and disembodied vocal chops cutting through machine-gun hihats and start-stop call and response in the low end.

My attitude to production has always been a rejection of the nostalgic rehashing of sounds from the 90s and 00s that has come to dominate the dance music landscape in the current decade. If there isn’t at least one sound in a track that’s surprising or new to my ears, I’m not interested. As a statement of intent, I hope that ‘Only Time Will Tell’ will bring something exciting to the listener in that respect. Endless love to YUKU and everyone who gives the release a spin - getting the chance to share my music on such a perfect label is really such an honour."

An up and coming producer/DJ in the Australian bass music scene, WYN has been playing hard-hitting and genre diverse sets at major venues almost every weekend since the launch of her project in mid-2016. Her short career so far has already seen her play shows alongside some of the biggest names in underground bass music worldwide, securing slots on Australian festivals such as Listen Out, Origin Fields and Breakfest. 

Inspired by the likes of Clams Casino, FKA Twigs, and Sevdaliza from the hip hop and alt-music realms, as well as bass music artists such as Ivy Lab, Alix Perez and Mr Carmack, WYN's production style spans across a wide range of genres, with a focus on drum & bass, halftime and alternative hip hop. With several heavier drum and bass releases under her belt, such as ‘A Meeting’ and ‘DOT’, as well as other soul-infused tracks that feature her own vocals, WYN is establishing herself as a unique name in Australian club music. WYN’s tracks have been played on BBC Radio One, and she recently featured on Triple J’s Mix Up DJ series, which she followed with a series of single releases such as ‘Ganges’ - part of a compilation album from the Perth Halftime collective known as ‘New Forms’, a record label and events crew that she runs with friends.
