Who’s Roseanne: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Roseanne

Exporting some absolute huge belters out of Russia, producer Rusty K, and MC Lee-Mon deliver some fresh big growling basslines to the Ammo camp.

Featured a total of 4 songs on the release (2 Vocal / 2 Instrumental), they start with “Devil’s Show,” reminiscent of some early Noisia style on the open, and dropping into heavy Drum & Bass rhythms.  ”Time 2 Pay” on the flip, gets going with a halfstep style and develops into a full fledged roller.

Both packed with high energy and wompy goodness, this release not one to miss!

Having trouble producing that “Ammo Sound?” That’s because you don’t have our own custom Ammo Midi keyboard! With drum pad buttons that can give you ‘Bass Face’, ‘Wompy Goodness’, and ‘Jumbo Jets,’ plus velocity sensitive bullet keys, wearing this shirt while producing will grow your sound 10 fold!*

*this fact is not backed up by any research or scientific evidence*

Incorporating both their styles and focusing on ambiance, soundscapes, and killer lifting melodies, large anticipation builds to start these off, which suddenly drop into some signature neuro kicks, snares, and basslines a plenty!

Currently receiving some big support from across the Drum & Bass community from the likes of Mayhem, John B, Optiv, and Neonlight to name only a few, this release has caused a ruckus on many a dance floor, so be sure to keep it in the crate!

COFFEY:  What’s the word, Yannman?!  How’s it?

YANNMAN:  At the moment, it’s quite cool. Depends on the music I listen to. Fresh. Funky with a touch of deepness, thanks!

COFFEY:  We’ve been searching high and low for a nickname for you at the Ammo Camp.  Any special words to Chris Wreckage for coming up with “Yannman?”

YANNTEK:  Indeed: One day… One day we’ll make a Yodel-Funk competition, wait for it!  Haha, big ups Chris!

COFFEY:  Tell us a little about ya’self.  Where you’re from, how old you are and all that jazz.

YANNTEK:  Well, I’m currently living in Binsfeld, which is in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. But not for much longer I hope I’m 19 years old and yeah.. I love Jazz!

COFFEY:  What inspired the name “Yanntek.”

YANNTEK:  As my real name is “YANNick” and one of my aims is to develop and design recognizable and special producing TECHniques, I decided to call this project Yanntek.  Additionally, I love futuristic and TECHnical stuff.

COFFEY:  How’d you end up getting into Drum & Bass?

YANNTEK:  Honestly, I was never really into Drum & Bass and “snare-influenced” electronic genres. They weren’t powerful and defined enough for my taste, also I found them kinda cold, emotionless.

Then I discovered “Secrets That Burn” by Xilent one year ago and this moment changed everything. I started listening to Neurofunk and tried to produce my own tune of this genre.

COFFEY:  What inspired you to start producing?

YANNTEK:  I think a sort of inspiration was inborn, as my father played different instruments in several Cuban bands for a long time and my grandfather was leader of a music-ensemble in Germany.

When I listened to diverse songs at a very young age, I wondered how particular sounds I liked were made and sometimes felt the need to change some of these sounds/arrangements the way I preferred.

So I took piano lessons for a couple of years and then got myself my very first drum pattern software called Beatcraft. Was at the age of 11 or 12. From then on there was no turning back for me.

COFFEY:  Speaking of producing, you just released tunes “Wings” and “Night Flight” on Ammunition, both of which are getting some huge support, and tearing up the charts.  Number 8 in Beatport’s Dnb Releases section?!  Madness.  Tell us a little about that release.

YANNTEK:  Haha, well I didn’t expect that ranking at all, thanks to everyone supporting me! With “Wings” I tried to go a little bit in a dreamy direction and tried to convey an uplifting feeling at the same time, as “having wings” is a dreamy but uplifting topic

Same as for the Audiosurf Ep, I tried to produce the second tune with a total different feeling. Xilent posted his video of his gig in Tokyo during this time which fascinated me and as I love Japan/Tokyo, I decided to make a tune with the feeling of “flying over a big city”, like Tokyo.

COFFEY:  Mandatory question: What does your production setup consist of?

YANNTEK:  I’m producing on an iMac with Cubase 5 as my main DAW (I made Audiosurf with Logic Pro tho) and for studio mixes and certain future collaborations I use Ableton Live.  For monitoring I use the Yamaha HS80M and KRK KNS-8400 headphones connected to a Saffire Pro 14 interface.

COFFEY:  If you had a Yanntek fanboy come up and hump your leg for production advice, what would you tell him?

YANNTEK:  A boy humping my leg?? Not a pleasant imagination to be honest… But well, my answer depends on the question he’d ask. My general advice is: Listen, analyze, practice, develop. That’s how I do it.

COFFEY:  Would you prefer if it was a Yanntek fan… girl…. humping your leg?

YANNTEK:  I don’t prefer any beings humping my leg!!!

COFFEY:  You sir… are a liar.

YANNTEK:  You’re right.  I’m a goddamn liar.  In reality, I’m a special agent alien, sent from outta space.

COFFEY:  Lol, word?!  That must be where you get your signature style few producers are able to accomplish then, right?  You and Xilent seem to be shaping up this emerging “subgenre” in Dnb / Neurofunk.  What are we calling it?

YANNTEK:  Thanks!  We call it ULTRAFUNK. This shall be the positive way of looking into the future…

 Latest tracks by Yanntek

COFFEY:  Funky.  Do you have any influences when producing Dnb?

YANNTEK:  Hmm, there’re a lot of influences for me.  Mostly futuristic / fantasy imaginations, pictures, feelings…  and of course Xilent, Receptor, Kloé and Noisia. Oh and I love to get inspired by the Namco Sound Team who make the Tekken soundtracks.  Especially love the ones from Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken 5. Hwoarang ftw.

COFFEY:  Can you give us a list of some of your favorite artists?

YANNTEK:  When it comes to Neurultradrum’nfunkjunglebass: Xilent, Kloé, Noisia, Receptor, Engage, Kung, Landscapers, Wreckage Machinery, Neutral Point, Bcee, Netsky and sometimes I even enjoy to listen to some good ol’ Rey Keith tunes.

COFFEY:  Top 10 current favorite tunes?

YANNTEK:

1. Kito & Raija Lee – This City (Asa & KOAN Sound Remix)
2. Xilent – Evolutions Per Minute
3. Xilent, Imprintz & Kloé – Gone
4. Teknian, Asa & Kasket – Jirachi
5. Aethek – Vertebrae
6. Mark Knight ft. Skin – Nothing Matters (Noisia Remix)
7. Yanntek – Ancients Of Future
8. Xilent – Skyward ll
9. Fuzzy Logic & Jada Pearl – All My Love (Xilent Remix)
10. EdiT – Laundry

COFFEY:  What’s a Genma?

YANNTEK:  It’s the moon and a hammer. An elf and and an angel. Two suspects in need of blueberry pie.

COFFEY:  HA, “suspects.”  Well played sir!  I heard you’re helping run the badman sub label of Ammunition, Caliber Music.

YANNTEK:  Ah, you did? Well yeah, then it’s true I think!

Really enjoy it so far, it’s a whole new experience and can’t wait to announce the forthcoming releases there!  It’s gonna be PURE MADNESS with some huge producers!

COFFEY:  Give us a random fact that we don’t know about you.

YANNTEK:  I love Wavetable synthesis and 96 dB slew rate on filters.

COFFEY:  If you could do away with any 1 song on the planet, what song would it be… and why?

YANNTEK:  Well I dunno which consequences this would have on earth, causality is really a sulky bitch but.. Yes, it would definitely be the song “Lebt denn der alte Holzmichl noch” by De Randfichten.

Why? Because I hate this kinda music so much and this song even got the 3rd place in the German charts back then. Means I was forced to hear it everywhere at any second.

COFFEY:  Anyone you want to bigup, shoutout, give a holler, or leg hump?

YANNTEK:  Bigups, hollers AND even leg humps to all the listeners supporting me, to Xilent, Kloé and Axel from NFG! And of course.. to you.. lovely Café

CAFÉ:  Awww, thanks Yannman! <3
