Leading up to the premiere Paard x Inter-City concert show of Yīn Yīn on the 17th of June at Inter-City, band member DJ Keesi gives us a glimpse of what to expect from the group.
YĪN YĪN blend disco, funk, psychedelia and Southeast Asian grooves into a hypnotic, globe‑trotting sound that turns every show into a dance‑floor takeover. Their latest album Yatta! dives even deeper into Italo‑disco mystique, trippy guitars and endless grooves, proving why they’ve become festival favorites from Lowlands to Fuji Rock. Live, the Maastricht quartet fire off high‑energy party starters alongside dreamy, cinematic soundscapes.
Sticking to pentatonic scales, the band’s largely instrumental sound – created with a unique set of instruments including vintage synthesizers and a traditional Chinese string instrument, the guzheng – features big jumps between notes with melodies that are easy to love as they draw the listener into unfamiliar territories.
