Yuni Wa is on a quest to bring more electronic music to the Natural State.
With a new album dropping on Sept. 21 and a well-established viral presence, the Little Rock-based electronic artist will be in town for the Summer Nights — a DJ series focusing on underground hip hop, electronic and R&B music — kicking off at 9 p.m. Aug. 31 at The Music Depot in Rogers. He’ll also perform for the Glass Animals after party
He just released a new track, “Secret Rooms,” and has a forthcoming album, Yunism, set to drop Sept. 21.
“Yunism,” he said, is fueled by the desire to reach in the beyond and create a body of work that transcends the world we know.
“I’m always pushing myself to just discover more dream-like and abstract sounds and to create the most beautiful music that I can,” he said. Inspired over the years by electronica artists such as producer/DJ Flying Lotus and his record label, Brainfeeder. Yuni Wa hopes to keep expanding opportunities to connect over electronic music.
He’ll be sharing some new tracks from “Yunism” and some of the favorites that crowds may remember from his set opening for Sudan Archives at FORMAT festival. He’ll also perform for the Glass Animals after party following their Sept. 1 show at the AMP with YaYa Productions.
After that, Yuni Wa will be hitting the road for Phoenix and opening for Hotel Pools, a chill, synth project from Portland, Ore.
In the meantime, he hopes Yunism moves listeners to follow their passions like he did as a teenager by just getting into the sounds of techno, electronica and house. He hopes that others pick up on that passion and try new things.
