XX 28 by Yuada & Joost

Yuada and Joost team up for XX 28, creating a release that balances hypnotic elements with rich sonic detail.

Built around evolving grooves, atmospheric tension, and subtle rhythmic interplay, the EP unfolds with a natural sense of movement, where each element contributes to a constantly shifting flow of energy.

Art has always been playing a central role in Yuada's life: she started playing piano when she was 3 and approached painting from a tender age, experiences that left an everlasting imprint on her creative identity and that brought her to move off to New York in 2011 to attend the "The Art Students League of NY." During her New York days, she began producing her first electronic music tracks, and in 2014, she was offered to start writing music for a gaming company. By the time she had completed her Art studies, music had become an increasingly strong interest for Yuada, and in 2019, she moved to Amsterdam to focus on her musical aesthetics and started djing regularly in the European club scene.

Joost van der Meer is a Dutch techno producer whose work is defined by emotional depth, sonic integrity, and a clear resistance to formulaic production. Operating from Amsterdam, he has released music under multiple aliases, including Dulac, Heanig, and Immortale, each reflecting a different facet of his artistic identity. His sound moves fluidly between techno, electro, and IDM. Rather than chasing trends, Joost focuses on creating tracks that feel timeless.

Drawing from modular experimentation, analog textures, and precise sound design, the pair craft tracks that feel both raw and refined. Pulsing percussion, hypnotic synth sequences, and carefully layered atmospheres create a deep, driving sound that remains engaging from start to finish, balancing dancefloor impact with intricate production detail.

Designed for peak-time moments while retaining depth and character, "XX 28" captures a forward-thinking approach to techno, where groove, texture, and progression work seamlessly together. The result is a powerful and immersive release that further expands the harder sonic landscape of Molecular Recordings.
