yunè pinku

South London's yunè pinku is an artist whose tapestries of sound, blending club beats with poignant songwriting, perfectly soundtrack the season of new beginnings. With the echo of her EPs "Babylon IX" and "Bluff" in our ears, we navigate conversations around her journey, experiences with industry luminaries such as Charlie XCX and Joy Orbison, and the curious mix of excitement and uncertainty that marks the year ahead.Our discussion pirouettes around Yunè Pinku's culturally vibrant background, where Irish folk songs meet the pulsing heart of electronic music, all under the watchful eye of her supportive mother. We talk about her artistic evolution, from initial sound experiments to a lockdown-fueled dedication that saw her shaping silence into rhythm, and the sweet irony of crafting club tracks in the quiet of solitude. Yuné Pinku opens up about her creative process, from frustrating blocks to the euphoric breakthroughs, and the freedom that comes from tossing genre constraints aside and letting inspiration lead the way.Closing our session, Yune Pinku transports us to the global stages of music festivals, from the sun-baked fields of Australia to the electric buzz of American crowds. She reflects on the whirlwind nature of touring and the cultural awakenings therein, pondering the advice she might give her younger self.Killing Bee by yunè pinku, available herePresented and produced by Paul Hanford Paul Hanford on InstagramLost and Sound is proudly sponsored by Audio-TechnicaPaul’s debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.
