yumla records
More astute viewers to the web site probably already noticed the little red badge in the top left corner, linking off to our new yumla records page… if you missed it – now’s your chance to check it out. Genre free, full fat!
Over the coming months we shall be showcasing electronic music and DJ-centric tools, produced locally in Hong Kong by DJs and producers all of whom have some connection with Yumla.
The first half dozen releases are well underway, and the plan is release about 3 to 4 songs per month until everyone runs out of energy; artists already include Markus Homm, Dan F, Frederik, Basil Tam, Frankie Lam, newcomers Casey Anderson and Bebe Rebozo. The video below is for one of our forthcoming releases; this one drops mid-August.
dp 7″ launch party
must... avoid... 7" willy jokes
bring it!!! next Wednesday, 30th june from 9PM (and yes Thursday is a public holiday) stoner metal rockers DP gracefully barrage Yumla once again with their sweet sweet tones.
Drawing worthy parallels with bands such as DFA 1979 and straddling the entire ‘drummer plus loud distorted bass guitar and beards’ genre with ease, local boys Dave & Paul are a sight to behold.
live show will be around 10PM with rock & indie DJs before & after in the form of Casey Anderson, Miko Van Chong (Decks & Effects) and DNKRCK … and as always with Yumla*Alt there shall be booze, lots and lots of booze – $40 standard drinks all night, $50 pints all night, $30 chilli vodka shots all night until you pass out ($300 a dozen for the brave).
yumla knows:philipp jung
50% m.a.n.d.y. 200% rocking
post party update: blimey… basil, wendy and of course our guest completely nailed it. great tunes from 10PM until well past 7AM, and some ridiculously happy people.
tuesday 15th june – the eve of Hong Kong’s famous Dragon Boat Festival – Yumla is extremely proud to be hosting a set from none other than Get Physical head honcho & illustrious producer a la M.A.N.D.Y.: Philipp Jung!
For those of you living under a rock since 2003: Get Physical is the label to define the last decade in house music, and there are no signs of the label slowing up in the decade to come. Home to artists like Booka Shade, DJ T, Chelonius R Jones, Lopazz, Elektrochemie, Samim and dozens of others – their release catalogue reads like a who’s who of The Bloody Awesome and the GP sound has dominated underground club music in all corners of the globe.
Supported by Yumla’s very own Wendy Wenn and Basil Tam – who in their own right are DJs not to be trifled with – miss this event at your peril.

yumla*alt & love da records
got nothing to do after paddling a dragon-boat around all day?
the love da records crew are at it again … importers of fine tunage that they are (last month’s ninja tune and march’s k7! showcase nights were off the hook) they are back with a bagful of moshi moshi plus lots of promo goodies to support the release of the drums stunning new lp.
as if you don’t know: moshi moshi are responsible for bring bands like Architecture in Helsinki, Friendly Fires, Au Revoir Simone, Bloc Party, Casiokids, Florence And The Machine, Hot Chip, The Rakes, Metronomy and a boatload more to market. Expect to hear that lot next wednesday 16th june 2010 by love da DJ Yuen Chi Chung & special guests.
And as with all yumla*alt events (i.e: every wednesday) there are $30 chilli vodka shots ($300 per dozen), $40 standard drinks and $50 pints to keep things bouncing along nicely.
I’d suggest taking the day off work, considering it’s a moshi moshi 16th and a get physical 15th. busy june!
