Resident Advisor on Yagya’s Rigning
Despite all of the good dub techno that is released each year, it remains a particularly difficult genre to sound distinct within. The template laid down by Basic Channel over a decade ago is still de rigueur: heavy submerged bass and wispy waves of high end hiss mark out both ends of a broad spatial spectrum open to exploration and population with echoing patterns and electronic life forms. Not surprisingly, most of the outstanding dub techno that has emerged has come from those who have broken this mould. Echospace, for instance, have married Basic Channel's paradigm with the new minimal aesthetic, whereas Bvdub moved the bass drum to the surface and filled the depths with rich emotional washes. Somewhere in between is Iceland's Yagya.
