Mirwais returns with Y.A.S
Music News, Up-And-Coming Acts, Video
An already excitingly electro-packed 2009 just got another shot of excitingfulness with the news that French weirdo producer Mirwais is to return as part of a duo called Y.A.S.
Mirwais produced Madonna’s “Music” and also released the album Production, from which sprang the classic woozy disco science of “Naive Song” and, well, “Disco Science”.
Now he’s teamed up with a lady named Yasmine Hamdan to create:
THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL ELECTRO PROJECT THAT PLACES ARABIC LANGUAGE AT THE CENTER OF POP CULTURE!
That’s how their MySpace puts it, anyway (their shouty capitals/American spelling).
Before I get to the music, I’d just like to point out the rather amusing ad placement that was on their MySpace page:
I’m not saying fans of Arabic electro-house wouldn’t go to Butlins on their holibags, but if they do they might have to keep the bass down.
“Get It Right” is the first Y.A.S song to surface on their MySpace, and my goodness it’s amazing. There’s also a Felix Da Housecat remix, but at the moment I definitely prefer the original. I should go give them a listen, if I were you, after you’ve had a wee look at this “trailer”:
