- Y?n Y?n - 

Dutch quartet Y?N Y?N release their fourth album, Yatta!, extending their unique mix of disco, funk, psychedelia and Southeast Asian music, and revealing a band whose groove just keeps getting deeper.

Y?N Y?N will release their long awaited fourth album, ‘Yatta!’ in January 2026. 

After touring globally with highlights such as Paradiso, Lowlands, North Sea Jazz Festival, Fuji Rock, Clockenflap and venues in all European key cities, Asian countries and topping off with an America tour, it inspired to the band to write a new album with influences from all over the
globe. 

One major influence on Yatta! is the sound of Italo Disco – the spacey, psychedelic brand of disco music that arose in Italy in the late 1970s and blossomed in the 1980s.

“It has something of a mystique,’ states the band, “because all the producers were using new recording techniques and effects and stuff like that, but there are not many pictures or videos of how they were creating things in the studio. You have to use your own fantasy and create
your own story about how that music is created.” For sure, you can hear that sense of tantalising mystery on the new tracks with its endless groove and trippy backwards guitar effects.

From the beginning, Y?N Y?N have been devoted to exploring obscure global sounds with an emphasis on getting the dance floor moving – an impulse that reaches its peak on Yatta!

If there’s a general direction of travel in Y?N Y?N’s expeditions, it’s somewhere between Italy towards the east, with Asian influences coming through loud and clear. Some tunes feel like a 1960s Japanese soul-funk spy movie theme with a sample of a koto buried in the mix.

“Other songs could be the throbbing disco soundtrack to a Thai spaghetti western. And there’s clues in the titles too."

Yatta! Is the sound of four musicians finding their own, exploratory, globe-trotting groove, and having the time of their lives exploring it. Lucky for you, you’re invited too.
