Impazzire

2nd Guesses

...and we are still reflecting on this incredibly beautiful performance and have a big smile on our faces. The first time with five of us. Two new faces in the band. So many wonderful moments in preparation and on stage. For many, the Fusion Festival is one of the most exciting festivals in Europe and of course it was an honor for us to play the closing concert on the Neuland stage. Our calmness and our depth were soaked up by the audience. Gratitude was returned to us and we received many nice messages afterwards. We are very grateful for this opportunity and would like to thank Fusion for the invitation...and of course the great stage team for the great sound.

The encore is from D.$ahin: "Bittersweet Overkill"

Burn is the second YS album and written as a direct follow-up album to Brutal Flowers. If their first album was an exercise in the incremental, a construction of poise and patience, Burn, should be taken way the fuck at it’s word: it quite literally finds catharsis in twisted reverse. Birthed out the malignant kick found in deconstruction and chaos. Evil twin, psychotic younger sibling, call it what the hell you like. It might take you a moment to get the lay of the land in this darkly mutated world. Like a bug eye’d native first confronted with a zippo, the hit is radical and instant: a new way for the world to go up in smoke.

Splice the Seattle slacker scene with the spliffhead soundsystem culture of the '90s Bristol trip-hop scene, then cross-breed that with the DIY optimism and glee in creation found in the cut-and-paste worlds of skate, graffiti and hiphop, now run that through the skitzo basement mind of John.T. Gast and you’re close to the kind of scorched earth and spiked suburbia that birthed Burn.

Dunno quite what YS have been ingesting of late, but this massively twisted LP touches on a host of gloriously fucked totemic underground sources while not sounding much like any of them. It has the ballsy swagger and hard flipping of the script as Massive Attack’s seminal Blue Lines. Indeed, the eponymous album tracks sound similar - the opener ‘Burn’ is like a hard-nosed, jammed-out redux of ‘Blue Lines’. Getting into a kind of slow-spinning overdubbed maximal euphoria ending with mumbled downer vocals, struggling to conceal their tongues in their cheeks, there’s an air of paranoia and proto-conspiracy theory. It’ll leave you scratching your head, feeling like you’ve stepped into a New World Order governed by a cacophony of dropouts, dope fiends, and apocalyptic stoners. A cracked-out world somewhere between Richard Linklater’s movie Slacker (1990) and Marc Singer’s Dark Days (2001).

The rest of the album parts like a tongue on a wine glass: Smith and Mighty, Bandulu, ambient Luke Slater records, Wah Wah Wino, Nurse with Wound, Land of the Loops, Placid Angels, Adrian Sherwood, Urban Tribe and DJ Shadow can all be heard in momentary splatters - but Burn like other works by YS, is its own ritual beast. ‘Moth’, a track that has been circulating the underground DJ circuit for many moons, is a raw, chopped, and screwed slice of stoner erotica that reeks of obsession and unrequited desire. Elsewhere, on tracks like ‘Switch’, ‘Trying’, and ‘Drift’, the throughline from Brutal Flowers can be heard. Underneath the driving heavy gravity, the trademark emotional intimacies of YS linger: eternal recurrence, ghosts of static and shortwave, worn memories of the playful and painful sort. The brief moments when flashes of orchestral ambience emerge from beneath the swagger are so pure, personal, and unguarded that, for a moment, they leave you completely alone. In the album’s closer ‘End’, you can hear the fleeting promise and DIY possibilities of an analogue world and embers of ash that flutter in its wake: where it seemed, for a brief moment, that collective of DJs, engineers, rappers, graffiti artists and skate crews were emerging from the streets, giving the middle fingers to the system, before just as quickly disappearing back to the doldrums of obscurity. ‘End’ is a bittersweet ode to early soundsystem culture, MCs and pirate radio - an out of step time where for a moment the underdogs and weirdos seemed to be kicking on the door of something bigger.

A veritable teenage doof suite dosed with desire, claustrophobia, and deviance. Burn is a good old howl at the moon: lonely, raw, and out for blood; basement style exegesis at its best. A thump to the gut, a stud through your blood. A dubbed-to-death classic straight out of the annals of nowhere. A perfect postcard from oblivion. A bleak, bold, and personally ferocious vision of tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

PREMIERE | YS - Moth [PERF000]

A fractured prayer from the outskirts of the universe. Stardust trapped in a maze of power and illusion, screaming against false gods and broken systems. This track is not a song but a manifesto—raw verses born from cosmic dust, dripping with defiance, fire, and shadow. Even if we are nothing more than a dot in the cosmos, here we burn, unfreezing the silence, Written by Miguel Rueda

A dot on the edge of the universe

“Mushroom jazz meets 90s hip hop and neo soul in a mix where the transitions don’t just blend songs—they create new ones.”

RRRRRunnn (TRVLT BTTG)

Composed and performed by Inti from Upper Manhattan, with music by Bit del Oráculo, this track blends noir trip-hop textures with upright bass, drums, trombones, and trumpets. It’s a dark yet hypnotic journey where climate change, deforestation, and the rise of artificial intelligence become the lyrical heartbeat. The groove is both haunting and irresistible—inviting you to move while questioning where humanity is headed. A soundtrack for uncertain futures, mixing urgency, mystery, and rhythm.

Drifting Away

Verse 1
Another night, another sky to chase,
Echoes of the past I can’t erase.
Flickers of tomorrow in my mind,
Every broken piece still aligned.

Pre-Chorus
The silence speaks, I hear it call,
Through every rise, through every fall.
The light remains when hope is gone,
A whisper says, just dream on.

Chorus
Dream on — when the night feels long,
When the fire fades, keep holding on.
Dream on — the world turns slow,
The stars still shine where the wild winds blow.
Dream on — you’re never alone,
In every heartbeat, you’ll find home.

Verse 2
 Silhouettes fade beneath the morning hue,
Every scar just shows what we’ve been through.
If the storm keeps tearing at your faith,
Close your eyes, find your escape.

Pre-Chorus
Every ending leads somewhere new,
Every tear reflects the truth.
Even when the pain feels strong,
A voice inside says, dream on.

Chorus
Dream on — when the night feels long,
When the fire fades, keep holding on.
Dream on — let your spirit glow,
The heart remembers what the soul still knows.



Bridge
Nothing’s lost, it’s all becoming,
Keep your pulse against the drumming.
In the silence of the dawn,
You’ll find the strength to dream on.

Outro
Dream on… dream on…
Until the dark is gone.

Russo is a genre-defying artist from South Western Sydney, blending pop, soulful alternative sounds, and cinematic influences into music that's emotionally raw, hauntingly beautiful, and uniquely her own. Drawing from an eclectic mix of music styles and inspired by powerful vocalists such as Edith Piaf and Jorja Smith, and dramatic film scores like Batman and Malena, Russo creates sonic worlds that are powerful, rebellious and emotionally charged. 

A lifelong performer, Russo began singing in choirs and cabaret shows from a young age, often interpreting Edith Piaf classics with stunning emotional depth. She later graced the stage at Big Day Out Festival, and has since collaborated with acclaimed Australian producers such as Neal Sutherland (Bertie Blackman) Harts (Prince) and house producers associated with Axtone (Swedish House Mafia)

Her upcoming single '"Impazzire" (releasing August 12), marks a pivotal moment in her artistry. Sung in both English and Italian, it's the first time Russo brings her heritage language into her music. 
The song explores the emotional chaos of demanding truth while being gaslit- it balances vulnerability and power, a haunting, glamourous, and feminine cry for clarity, carried by sweeping string sections inspired by the cinematic beauty of Malena.
