Reclaim Your City 680 | Yamour

Swinging by with her debut RYC transmission this week is Giegling affiliate and Blitz resident jockey Yamour, a DJ who blends the finest of classic Chicago house joints with Detroit style churners to decisively compelling effect. Showing a particularly deft hand for building soulful sonic narratives with a truly hypnotic edge to them, Yamour digs far and deep into heritage grooves and newly released heaters to form her own floor-focussed musical alphabet, bridging hypnagogic house, eclectic machine funk and muscular techno dubs throughout complex, intricately woven tableaux. Never quite where you’d expect to find her at, cutting her own singular path away from formulaic criterions and run-of-the-mill genre-boundness. A joy to hear from start to finish, Yamour’s versatility blazes with every bar and every beat, writing its own idiosyncratic chapter in the big book of electronic music with unparalleled swagger and chemistry. Hectic.
