Hey friends! This week for the 10th Yamcast and interview, we let in on what’s been going on with Amaury Meunier aka @momus - one of the two co-founders of Yamba in person!

A true music lover and serial entrepreneur, Momüs has developed and explored different genres of sound throughout his life. His unique way of viewing the world through the prism of contemporary music culture transcends his Parisian origins. He developed not only a unique talent for connecting and discovering mind-blowing electronic music but also excels in connecting with the crowd while playing.

Letting you in on what’s to come this summer, he sends you his good, Yamba vibes through a happy balearic house-y mix. Enjoy!

// What's the idea behind the mix? 

I wanted to record a mixtape that illustrates the variety of the Yamba day-time sound, so I basically prepared a bunch of timeless tracks that I would play there, old classics and new, and patched them together like I would do at Yamba around sunset time, except this time I used mostly vinyls which I rarely do on the beach! Vinyls are always capricious though… please forgive the cracks and skips here and there.

// How was the mix recorded?

I recorded it at our friends cultural space BOA, using an E&S mixer, 2 turntables and 1 CDJ,  I wanted the mix to sound as smooth as possible in the transitions and flow, not using any effects and letting the tracks do the talking. To acheave this an E&S with rotary mixer is the best instrument, and thanks @dan-ghenacia for lending me his! Actually this mixer used to be Philippe Zdar's (RIP)aka @cassiusofficial... The great French house flows in its analog circuit!

// What have you been up to recently?

We have been working hard on preparing our third season of course, we re-open on May 8th and we can’t wait to unveil Yamba 3.0, we have a lot of surprises for our guests this season…

I have also been spending a lot of time in the studio and produced 3 releases (EPs) on the newfound Yamba Waves music label, I’m very excited as it will be my first musical output, I played one of my tracks toward the end of the mix ;)

// Tell us a bit about Yamba Waves.

With Yamba offering such a strong musical identity and rich live programming, it felt only natural to start the Yamba music label to showcase our stellar artists family. The first outputs will be a series of 3 EPs representing the Yamba sound, from house to disco, funk, italo, and overall balearic sounds, originals produced by me and remixed by friends. For this special series we are also collaborating with incredible visual artists, and will press 300 vinyls for each EP, as well as an NFT to mint them on the ETH blockchain - first release date May 7th, stay tuned!

// How is Yamba season 3 looking?

It’s looking amazing! We entirely updated the back of the house to make sure the experience and service are flawless this season for our guests, we learnt a lot from our 2 previous seasons. We have an exciting program already scheduled in terms of music, mindfulness, and other surprising practitioners. The food menu has also entirely been updated, a full new experience for your taste buds :) 

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in the sand on May 8th!

Yamcast #10 /w Momüs

Super Fu might be a new name to many but they are are a trio of musicians with deep roots in the UK electronic scene, a collaboration between Richard Hall (Paper Street Soul), Paul Withey and Sarah Lazenby (Sweetooth). Having known each other for a number of years having featured on the same releases together under our different guises, a collaboration had been talked about, but it wasn’t until the extraordinary situation that occurred over the last year and a half that has really given them the time to really see what would happen. They set out to create music without boundaries using all 3 of their varied influences and a creative freedom. Their EP Cocoons from earlier in 2021 introduced the act to the world and was followed up by their wonderful eponymous album Super Fu both on Paper Recordings, a stunning collection of 10 tracks receiving support from a wide and varied cast of respected artists.

In a pinch, if forced to employ adjectives to describe the Mark E. Quark style, one would come up with words like “groovy, laid back and nasty” house music. But putting grammar aside, it’s reasonable to just say that Quark has internalized influences from DJ Harvey, Idjut Boys, Jeno, and Andrew Weatherall, mashed them up, and given life to a signature style and a creature which is totally unique. This creature is currently brought to life for public consumption  at Moonshake in San Diego.
