This episode’s highlighted track: Track 8 Baxter Dury & JGrrey - Allbarone* London-born Baxter Dury has long specialized in a peculiar strain of louche, half-sung storytelling—perfecting the art of sounding simultaneously blasé while deeply wounded, like someone narrating his own downfall with a smirk. And while the soulless UK pub chain All Bar One is usually the domain of team-building send-offs, coworker birthday rounds, and awkward blind dates, its sterile, Venti latte-adjacent cocktails make the perfect backdrop for Dury’s vision: a drunken mess slumped on the sidewalk outside, wondering how the night went sideways. Occupying space between sleaze and sophistication, somewhere on the spectrum between Serge Gainsbourg’s smoky cabaret drawl and John Cooper Clarke’s acerbic street poetry, “Allbarone,” is Baxter at his most mordant: clipped, sardonic vocals narrating brittle egos and dimly lit escapades. Paul Epworth’s lean, hypnotic production lends a disco buoyancy that contrasts Dury’s narrative detachment while JGrrey’s ghostly turn as the absent date provides the song’s catchy hook, her teasing restraint underscoring his desolate humor. “Allbarone” works as both elegy and satire: proof that All Bar One isn’t where good nights happen—it’s where they go to die.

    For full setlist visit yeahyal.substack.com Episode 34, a mix for a world that feels sdrawkcaB. FULLY MIXED as a 45 song mixtape. This episode’s highlighted track: Track 38 John Carroll Kirby - Mates* Los Angeles based keyboardist, composer, and sideman to the stars (Solange, Frank Ocean, Harry Styles, etc.), John Carroll Kirby has steadily built a reputation and vibe all his own: part tropicalia, part jazz fusion, part video game cutscene. “Mates,” from his 2023 album Blowout, feels like a walk through that world’s sun-dappled village square, where everything is oddly pleasant and nothing particularly urgent. With soft congas weaving in and out of flute stabs and a lazily wandering synth bass line, “Mates” feels like it could easily fit as a score to a mid-’90s educational CD-ROM game; it’s upbeat, catchy and somehow endearingly kitsch. Flecks of processed vibraphone glisten at the edges, evoking both Exotica-era Martin Denny and the smoother corners of Herbie Hancock’s 1970s output. But what makes “Mates” quietly arresting is its tonal attitude—it never rushes, never insists, simply vibes with charm and winking confidence. There’s no drop, no real hook, no urgency at all, just a mellow shimmer of groove and harmony that just glides… add in a few bell-like textures and you’re somewhere between Haruomi Hosono’s Paraiso, Mac DeMarco minus all the phaser delay, and a Miami Vice deep cut remixed for massage therapy. ________ The setlist: Artist / Song Name / Album / Year Erykah Badu / Amerykahn Promise / New Amerykah, Pt. 1 (4th World War) / 2008 The Bar-Kays / (Busted) / Propositions / 1982 Edwin Birdsong / Cola Bottle Baby / Edwin Birdsong / 1979 U.S. Girls / Only Daedalus / Bless This Mess / 2023 Minako Yoshida / Chokkai / FLAPPER / 1976 Elton John / Honky Cat / Honky Château / 1972 Ratatat / Crips / Ratatat / 2004 Little Simz / Young / Lotus / 2025 Q-Tip / Let's Ride / Amplified / 1999 Christy Essien Igbokwe / Take Life Easy / One Understanding / 1979 Cold Crush Brothers & Fantastic Freaks / Basketball Throwdown / Wild Style (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) / 1983 Edan / Funky Voltron (featuring Insight) / Beauty And The Beat / 2005 Willie Mitchell / Groovin' / Solid Soul / 1969 Brick / Dazz (Dazz Disco Mix) / Good High / 1976 Parcels / IknowhowIfeel / Parcels / 2018 The Doobie Brothers / Minute By Minute / Minute By Minute / 1978 GZA / Liquid Swords (Instrumental) / Liquid Swords / 1995 The Hue / Slick (feat.

    For full setlist visit yeahyal.substack.com Episode 33, packed onto a FULLY MIXED 45 song mixtape. This episode’s highlighted track: Track 22 Suzanne Kraft - Never Heated* Los Angeles electronic producer, DJ, and experimentalist Diego Herrera—better known as Suzanne Kraft—is known for his prodigious, eclectic dance tracks and wide-ranging collaborations. On “Never Heated,” from his 2015 debut solo album Talk From Home, Herrera channels a thoughtfully chilled-out vibe, layering sparse interjections of Wurlitzer keys and picked bass guitar over the minimalist pulse of a drum machine’s click-tempo and sporadic soft clap. Reminiscent of both Haruomi Hosono and The Durutti Column, “Never Heated” feels at once ethereal and funky, with distant vocal harmonies floating above the meandering bassline and hazy keys. But what gives it its distinctive allure is the unconventional time signature—an intriguing 8/4 structure, where the electronic clap/snare lands only on the seventh and eighth beats of every fourth measure, adding a subtle, unexpected twist to an otherwise laid-back arrangement.

    For full setlist visit yeahyal.substack.com Summer is here so chill out with this FULLY MIXED 38 song mixtape. This episode’s highlighted track(s): Track 6 and 12 Rose Droll - Sleep Easy* Los Angeles multi-instrumentalist Rose Droll explores the emotional aftermath of heartbreak in “Sleep Easy,” a standout track from her second full-length album, With Strangers. Over a looped acoustic guitar and a distant, reverberating bass synth, Droll delivers a delicate yet affecting vocal performance, offering comfort to an ex-lover: “You say you’re fine and I hope you’re alright, but lately all I hear is what you croon when you cry… I remember nothing but the way we were.” As Droll’s subdued voice attempts to steer the jilted ex towards hope, the refrain—“I remember nothing but the way we were”—returns like a ghost of the past, punctuated by frenetic piano stabs that underscore the lingering pain echoing the song’s emotional core. On With Strangers, Droll proves her skill at fusing bedroom pop intimacy with electronic textures and experimental percussion. The result is a contemplative, often challenging collection that recalls the genre-defying spirit of ’90s icons like Beck and PJ Harvey. Bonus attention is also due to Donna Summer’s powerful cover of Vangelis’s 1981 track “State of Independence.” Produced by Quincy Jones, the recording stands out not only for its bold reinterpretation, but also the star power behind its gospel-infused chorus. Jones pulled out all the stops, calling in favors from some of the biggest names in music to assemble an all-star choir that includes Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Dionne Warwick, Brenda Russell, Christopher Cross, James Ingram, Kenny Loggins, Patti Austin, Michael McDonald, Peggy Lipton, and even actress Dyan Cannon. ________ The setlist: Artist / Song Name / Album / Year Romare / Lover Man / Projections / 2015 Flavien Berger / sapon / sapon - Single / 2023 Midnight Sister / Blue Cigar / Saturn Over Sunset / 2017 Lyfe Indoors / Binary Crime / Binary Crime - Single / 2023 Melody's Echo Chamber / Pêcheuse de Lune / Unfold / 2022 *Rose Droll / Sleep Easy / With Strangers / 2024 Q Lazzarus / Goodbye Horses / Goodbye Horses - Single / 1991 Soul Supreme / Lyrics to Go / Check the Rhime - Lyrics to Go - Single / 2020 Deniece Williams / Free / This Is Niecy (Expanded Edition) / 1976 Boards of Canada / Olson / Music Has the Right to Children / 1998 Blue Hawaii & Suzanne Kraft / I Felt Love (Suzanne Kraft Remix) / I Felt Love - Single / 2020 Donna Summer / State of Independence / Donna Summer / 1982 DARKSIDE / Hell suite, Pt.

This episode’s highlighted track: Track 14 Royal Otis - Oysters in My Pocket* New South Wales group, Royal Otis developed a small following when their early 2022 Bar n Grill EP cleverly combined jangly, indie and psychedelic rock on tracks like the catchy Oysters in My Pocket. Leveraging techniques used by many great current Aussie bands, Royal Otis adeptly blend 60s surf rock with 80s new wave to create music embedded with an instantaneous neo-nostalgia. The duo, consisting of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, saw even greater commercial appeal when their cover of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’, gained popularity in Emerald Fennell’s dark comedy Saltburn. Channeling bands like New Order and Violent Femmes, “Oysters in My Pocket” relies on the chant-like singing and frenetic strumming of both lads as they pine away for lazy summer days, slurping up salty mollusks. ________ The setlist: Artist / Song Name / Album / Year Illa J / All Good / Yancey Boys / 2008 Charlotte Day Wilson / Find You / CDW - EP / 2016 The Egyptian Lover / Everything She Wants / 1985 / 2018 Erykah Badu / Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop) [feat.

This episode’s highlighted track: Track 11 Talaboman - Dins El Llit (Superpitcher Remix)* Dins El Llit is an incredible auditory journey created by the deep-house minimalist super group, Talaboman (consisting of electronic masters, John Talabot of Barcelona and Axel Bowman of Stockholm). To add to the supergroup aspect, this version is remixed by Superpitcher, a German producer who happens to be a member of Pachanga Boys (another electronic supergroup featured previously on Yeahyal 25 as the highlighted track). Dins El Llit leads with a delayed bongo tap over a pulsating 909 kick that slowly builds with more and more rhythmic features, (clicking sticks, hi hats, shakers and delayed voices mumbling indecipherably) until finally pulsating blips and bells carry an ethereal melody onward towards Vangelis-like synth pads. The tune simmers as it slowly builds but never climaxes, only slowly returning to the calming, reverberated chimes where it begins. ________ The setlist: Artist / Song Name / Album / Year Ponderosa Twins Plus One / Bound / 2+2+1 = / 1971 Voltagectrlr / When We First Met / When We First Met / 2024 The Pool ‎/ Jamaica Resting - Dance it Down / Jamaica Running / 1982 The Avalanches / Because I'm Me / Wildflower / 2016 Mr. Fingers / Mystery of Love / Amnesia / 1989 Vangelis / Abraham's Theme / Chariots of Fire (Original Motion Picture Score) / 1981 Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs / The Distance / The Distance - EP / 2021 Rhye & Frank Wiedemann / Holy (Frank Wiedemann Remix) / Home (Remixes) / 2022 Weval / Remember / Remember / 2023 Louis Prince / The Number Thirteen / Thirteen / 2020 *Talaboman / Dins El Llit (Superpitcher Remix) / Dins El Llit - EP / 2018 The Human League / (Keep Feeling) Fascination / Fascination! - EP / 1983 nimino / I Only Smoke When I Drink / Creek - EP / 2024 Ashford & Simpson / Solid / Solid / 1984 James Blake / Unluck / James Blake / 2011 EL-P / The Full Retard (Instrumental) / Cancer 4 Cure (Instrumentals) / 2011 Supertramp / The Logical Song / Breakfast In America / 1979 Panda Bear & Cindy Lee / Defense / Sinister Grift / 2024 D Train / You're the One for Me / You're the One for Me / 1982 Django Django / Spirals / Glowing in the Dark / 2020 Janet Jackson / What Have You Done for Me Lately / Control / 1986 The Pharcyde / Groupie Therapy (Instrumental) / Labcabincalifornia / 1995 Unknown Mortal Orchestra / Ffunny Ffriends / Unknown Mortal Orchestra / 2010 The Cool Kids / Black Mags / The Bake Sale / 2008 Funkadelic / (Not Just) Knee Deep / Uncle Jam Wants You / 1979 J Dilla / Love Movin' (Instrumental) / The Shining / 2006 Alicia Myers / Don't Stop What You're Doin' / Back to Back / 1998 Pye Corner Audio / Northern Safety Route / Where Things Are Hollow - EP / 2017 NEIL FRANCES / dancing / There is no Neil Frances / 2022 De La Soul / Foolin' / Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump / 2000 The Isley Brothers / I Turned You On / The Brothers: Isley / 1969 Pip Blom / Ruby / Boat / 2019 Donovan / Hurdy Gurdy Man / The Hurdy Gurdy Man / 1968 Lucy Dacus / I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore / No Burden / 2015 LL COOL J / The Do Wop / Bigger and Deffer / 1987 Sly & The Family Stone / Remember Who You Are / Back On the Right Track / 1979 Blonde Redhead / 23 / 23 / 2007 Wallows / Are You Bored Yet?

This episode’s highlighted track: Track 4 Sneaks - Look Like That* Washington, DC multi-instrumentalist/producer/poet Eva Moolchan, aka Sneaks, is a minimalist post-punk artist known for witty blends of chants and spoken-word vocals over beds of lo-fi bass, drum machines, and minimal keyboards. On It’s a Myth, the 2017 album on Merge Records, Sneaks offers her longest track (weighing in at a whopping three minutes and fifteen seconds), “Look Like That.” Staying true to form Moolchan offers up a catchy monotone refrain, “What do they look like? They look like that, they look like that” over a pulsating bass synth and snappy 80’s drum break; it’s elegant in its simplicity and hard not to nod your head and sway (at very least). ________ The setlist: Artist / Song Name / Album / Year Jungle Brothers / Tribe Vibes / Done By The Forces Of Nature / 1989 Paul Epworth, Jay Electronica & Guy Gerber / Love Galaxy (Guy Gerber's Don't F**k with Cats Remix) [feat.

    Mix 28

    For full setlist visit yeahyal.substack.com This new mix has 45 tracks FULLY MIXED. This episode’s highlighted track: Track 2 Automatic - Skyscraper* Hailing from Los Angeles, the absolutely brilliant three piece band Automatic consist of Izzy Glaudini (synths, lead vocals), Lola Dompé (drums, vocals) and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals). The trio channel acts like Le Tigre whilst also carrying the torch for post punk/new wave bands like The Slits, Tom Tom Club and Wire (with an a bit of Velvet Underground psych influence for additional good measure); despite all these similarities, Automatic still feel fresh, innovative and modern. Their second full-length, Excess, on Stones Throw Records was easily one of my favorite albums of 2022 and still gets many routine listens due to its raw yet also somehow polished stylings, coupled with its subversive and idealogical lyrics. Skyscraper offers up alienation and anti-capitalist angst over a slick, post-disco drum break, ethereal 80’s synths, and Glaudini’s brooding monotone delivery which all helps to highlight their anomie, “Change if you want or stay the same, there’s no difference in the end. It’s a shame that you gotta play the game, where every dollar gets you off.” ________ Add our playlists on Spotify and Apple Music to spice up your streaming algorithm. ________ Mix also available on Soundcloud. ________ Follow us on Instagram!
