mnml ssgs mx28: yuka


mx28 comes from yuka, a russian dj and producer associated with the excellent fullpanda records. after being blown away by the sounds of her labelmate, dasha rush, when i saw yuka was tied to fullpanda i thought she was definitely worth checking. i downloaded some of her mixes and was all set to give them a listen. then, for whatever reason, i got distracted and they got buried and i didn't give them the attention they deserved. until a few weeks ago. after playing at a fullpanda party in berlin, cio d'or said yuka had played a great set and suggested i check her out. a recommendation from cio goes a long way in my books. so i immediately put on the mixes i had from yuka. and then spent the rest of the afternoon rocking out to them. unsurprisingly cio was right. yuka can definitely spin. after that, the rest was ssg history. lucky for us yuka agreed to do a mix and what she came up with is exactly what i was hoping for - some quality deep, tripping techno. what i really like about this mix is yuka keeps a careful check on the BPMs, never getting too fast, but she still gives it some power with the whole set having a really nice drive to it. yuka has provided us with a carefully built mix of quality sounds.

as usual, tracklist to follow. next week mx29 will be from delta funktionen. until then, enjoy the sounds of yuka...

  11. Stunning mix, trippy, hypnotic and modern. Techno definitely, although not daddy's classic techno from yesterday. Fengler's. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those tracks were from obscure russian producers. One of the the most interesting mix since Marcel Fengler's. Now I understand why I still love techno after nearly 20 years listening to it.

  14. Deeply beautiful mix, and as close to the feel of prime-time Cio as I've heard outside of the lady herself. Nice one ssg'ers and Yuka.

  15. i don't know how you good folks keep raising the bar with each and every mix...this one is clearly my favorite (outside of dozzy) and is going to be quite hard to beat.
    thank you sincerely.

  21. Awesome mix! It's one of the best mixes here. Thanx mnml ssg and YUKA! By the way ssg crew, why don't you make your mixes available through iTunes? It's so convinient.

  22. @ zooye: we don't have the bandwith - the only way we could get it would be to introduce ads onto the blog, which we don't want to do. we are slowly looking into some options, though...

  23. Sweet Baby Jesus ... that was amazing. The control she exercises over the mix is fantastic - she keeps it purring along at just the right rate, letting the pressure build, but resisting the urge to let it blow. Awesome stuff. Thank you Yuka.

  25. Oh. My. Science. This is an absolutely STUNNING mix! I am in complete and utter awe at the moment. Wow. This mix just made my month SO much better! Thanks, as usual ssgs! And a big, Huge, MASSIVE thanks to Yuka!

  26. Damn. Full-body techno multiple orgasms. Thanks for introducing me to such talent.

  27. Serious quality stuff as expected from the ssgs. But better than expected. This is really a brilliant mix from someone we hope to be hearing more from in the near future. Excellent choice of tracks, a coherent feeling of deepness throughout the whole time and as stated before, a masterful treatment of the BPM thing. And the last track by From Karaoke to Stardom is just a delicious choice to finish it.

    By the way, be sure to check out that guy (if you haven’t already). Has done a decent tribute to the recent net28 sampler apart from delivering constant quality on Apnea and Rrygular.

    Thanks ssgs and lots of thanks to YUKA.
