When the L.A-based duo U-N-I split up as a band in 2011, the former member Y-O changed up and currently goes by his real name Yonas Michael. Last year, his first solo project ‘Lost In Hollywood’ dropped, which sounds a bit different from the previous stuff. The whole piece is an experimental project with a sound highly influenced by Jimi Hendrix.
Personally, I think the outcome of the whole project was really good and after a few listens one of the tracks became an instant favourite, I’m talking about ‘PUNKS’ ft. Brooker T which gives you a good glance and idea of the new sound Yonas delivers – playful, experimental, dirty- but still Yonas.
Just a few days ago the video for ‘PUNKS’ directed by Alex de Bonrepos was released, and I was highly impressed. Yonas himself is a fan of the motion picture ‘Where the wild things are’ which you can easily tell by watching the video as it has the same kind of wild, playful feeling.
The whole project is available for a FREE download via DJBooth .
