YNK's second EP for Polytone is much more than a continuation of his earlier releases on Polytone and Tenderpark. It's an autonomous work, drawing on a multitude of materials to create a fluid texture of samples, synths, and drum machines and a detailed, cohesive structure. The compelling theme of opener "One-Oh-One" reemerges as a reprise on the B-side; between these moments sits Benedikt Frey's remix of "One-Oh-One," which creates a form of deepness rarely heard in his productions in a kind of introverted free electronica defying the boundaries of house and techno. Artwork by Lithuanian-born artist Kristina Suvorova.

YNK's third EP for Tender Park sends us straight to dub house heaven with the lush and chord-driven deepness of "Paradigms Lost." Just as dreamy as it is thrilling, the track perfectly illustrates YNK's highly musical approach to house which he further underlines with "Colorit": this fresh and funky piece of music is overflowing with Philly soul Rhodes pianos and vocals. So Philly lover no. 1 Drei Farben House obviously just had to contribute a remix.

With YNK's 10" single, Polytone adds another musical facet to the label's eclectic approach. YNK further underlines his reputation as a highly versatile electronic producer with "The Joint": over a tricky midtempo funk beat YNK assembles various '70s soul samples, thus creating a warm atmosphere that is modern and aware of tradition at the same time. On the flip-side, Lauer takes the original and turns it into a straight and sunny house track full of classic vibes.
