Yppah

Another offering from the Ninja Tune offices today as we bring you D.Song, the pre-release track from Eighty One of Long Beach resident Yppah, aka Joe Corrales Jr.

With a history playing guitar and bass in high school rock bands before turning to mashups and being part of turntablist group The Truth, this is Yppah’s third studio album and features a number of collaborations with Seattle artist Anomie Belle, whom Corrales met while on tour with Bonobo. As for the track itself, it draws on Yppah’s previous shoegaze/ambient output while still delivering a danceable beat and the combination of Belle’s haunting vocals with an emotionally charged bassline gives the song that rare and valuable attribute in dance music: a direct line to the heart as well as the feet.

Eighty One is due out on February 4th in Japan and April 2nd worldwide.
