YĪN YĪN + Soma Crew
YĪN YĪN is a jam-packed romp of South East Asian psych pop, funk, disco grooves and electronic music. The project was conceived by Kees Berkers and Yves Lennertz, two familiar faces in the Maastricht underground scene. Debut LP ‘The Rabbit That Hunts Tigers’ represents the full breadth of the quartet’s respective record collections, unleashed with maximum joy and spirit. And just so you know, these guys are never too shy to give the odd nod to a bona fide pop classic.
