Original Mix
KU Dub
James Talk Remix
Pitch and Hold's Rawmix
Luke Dzierzek Remix

OUT NOW on https://www.beatport.com/

King Unique are back with a killer new single �Yohkoh�. A melodic tech/prog/house (or whatever it's called these days) gurn-fest of epic proportions, �Yohkoh� is KU�s first single since their year off from the studio � a year that saw them tour their �Electric� mix album across the globe, and left Matthew Roberts marooned in a mud soaked Brazilian rainforest and Matt Thomas cornered by Tasmanian Devils on a beach at midnight � amongst many other (mis)adventures... Brimful of these groovy experiences the Matts returned to the studio and poured out �Yohkoh�, a tribute to life, love, happiness and the miracle of having a job where you get paid to go to Tokyo and drink yourself unconscious.

Acidic and euphoric in equal measure, Detroit flavoured riffs and a rumbling twisting bass slide along on the back of surging soaring strings and techno beats, all turned out in the trademark King Unique style. Having slipped a cheeky early copy to Danny Howells he emailed straight back to say, "Beautiful tune, one of the best you've done I think. Thank you!!" (Thank you too Danny, cheque�s in the post. Just please don�t spend it on a shirt...)

Backing up the KU original are a couple of heavyweight remixes - Pitch & Hold create a driving dark mix that�s all about a relentless snarling bass groove, underpinning epileptic riffs and clanging chimes. We like it � and so does Laurent Garnier while we�re name dropping. The second remix sees Luke Dzierzek fresh back from spending all his Citroen royalties at the Spearmint Rhino club and taking things into savage big-room territory with his trademark glitch assault. A collision of tech/breaks/house/electro/dubst...oh fuck it � it�s pure Dzierzek. And that�s why we like it.
