YAO - " Honey - Tinged Time Turbine vol. 1"// (mix of unreleased YAO beats)* (METAUNT)

check out this nice new mix of all unreleased beats by our mans Yao a.k.a. Yaoser(s)

“I have tons of unreleased beats and sketches from over the years and wanted to release some of these things to the masses. I’ve been sitting on some of these works for a long while watching as they collect dust, inhabiting mostly just my own and a few others ear space. So now as my style, sound and approach invariably move on I’d like to share them with you in what is the first of likely more of these mixes to come in the future. Honey- Tinged Time Turbine vol. 1. Hope you enjoy!”

Kid Fresh / Yao / Enso Live @ Yumla , Hong Kong, 09.01.2010 (right-click for download)

Quoted from the entertaining Kid Fresh Blog:

This is what it sounds like when you squash two San Franciscans, one balkan-blooded German, two turntables and ridic amounts of booze together into a charming, tiny bar in the heart of Hong Kong equipped with a dangerously booming sound system on a packed Saturday night, and make them play whatever the fuck they want to play.

The amount of given fuck from our side about pleasing the crowd by playing hits was shockingly low, yet the level of positive feedback from the audience turned out quite grand! Much to y’all lucky bastards’ delight, we recorded all that shit. Here’s 30 randomly picked minutes from each one of our sets, squeezed into a 90 minute package for the sake of your earholes’ blissfulness. To be continued.
