Moved by the melting pot Driven by futurism, eclecticism and those exciting playgrounds between the genres, the eras and the flavours; Yorobi’s been deep the laboratory since 99, forever studying the dark art of expression through beats and bass. Magnetised to the movement through her own mixed heritage roots, her musical vision is one of unity, fusion and no boundaries. Whether it’s released on heavily respected labels like Exit and Parallax; whether it’s performed at nights such as Rupture London and clubs like OT301 Amsterdam (or any inclusive free rave in between); where it’s broadcast on radio stations like innovative new radio platform Echobox or the legendary Jungletrain where she made a name for herself in the mid-2000s; Yorobi’s selections and productions consistently create space for tempos, emotions and genres to blur and mutate with tension and release. Slowly refining her sound and spirit since she first cut her teeth in the underground clubs and pirate stations of Groningen, Yorobi’s long-game relationship with the culture has grown in tandem with her artistic life beyond the beats. A multi-disciplinary artist and well-versed art historian and tour guide, Yorobi (real name Josje Bijl) has spent her entire adult life cultivating, exploring, celebrating and documenting centuries of creativity and the cultural contexts that frame and fuel it. Now fully focused on articulating this wealth of experience through her music, productions are a critical piece in the puzzle. Years of studio incubation have led to an ongoing flow of productions that began in 2019 and refuses to stop to this day. From collaborations with the likes of Tim Reaper and Sun People to solo productions released on labels such as Repertoire and Pollination, Yorobi releases reflect everything that’s come before and what she wants to see in years to come. Her studies continue to this day… (written by Dave Jenkins) https://www.mixcloud.com/yorobi/polyclinique-redux-april-18-2021-w-yorobi-gremlinz/ For more mixes & show archives visit my mixcloud.
