Yannek Maunz – Ufo on the Dancefloor – A Tribe Called Kotori

Clocking in on Kotori with a helluvan infectious number, Yannek Maunz turns in a duo of exquisitely fresh chuggers, ready for the busy spring and summer ahead. Pulling out some seriously funky moves and soulful moments of respiration, ‘Unknown Flying Objects’ works its way in the gap between laid-back house carefreeness and inward-gazing contemplation. All in on the bouncy house jack, bubbly electronics and heavily syncopated rhythms, ‘An UFO On The Dancefloor’ oozes pure debonair chemistry and seaside boogie with friends.
A joint effort with fellow vocalist and longtime collaborator Johanson, ‘You Anymore’ blends the ethereal beauty and catchiness of electro-acoustic dream pop with the rolling immersiveness of deep house. Made to etch deep into your mind as they breathe across, the song’s brittle yet memorable harmonics along with Johanson’s suave vocals have us walk that fine line between melancholy-drenched folk, abstract-leaning piano house-ism, and dance music’s ever resilient, invigorating starch.
