Yung Acid - Aura 137 (2018)

Resident Advisor about 'Aura': "Rough, rowdy and euphoric electro from Aura 137, the Russian duo's new EP for the Paris label TV Showw."

Russian duo Yung Acid are specialised in what they describe as a combination of dirty electro, dry techno and pushy grime. Besides running their own label, Get Busy!, and organising parties between their hometowns of Kazan and Moscow, they've featured on a number of cassette compilations, including U S S R (Ur Social Status Resistance), a compilation of Russian and Ukrainian experimental dance music curated by Opal Tapes. Drvg Cvltvre debuted them on his New York Haunted label in 2016, followed by mind-blowing Thug Mansions EP released at the beginning of 2018.

Yung Acid are back now on TV Showw with an eclectic EP titled "Aura 137". They go through raw and beautiful styles with a lot of ease. "Aura" and "Jap" are the poetic tracks. They should make you feel very nostalgic about something you don't even know. There's a ghetto side in "Late" with its Gangsta Boo (Three 6 Mafia) explosive vocals and in "Supa" in a more laid-back way. Electro experiments "137" and "Soug" are a great example of Yung Acid's ability to accomplish a lot with little. In addition, acid banger "Serpentine (Dirty Master)" closes the EP. It's nasty, very nasty...
