Youan grabbed my attention last year via his Ciara-sampling “Promises.” Since then, the British producer has served up a few more tracks, remixed [STRANGERS]’ “Safe/Pain” (taking the trio’s single into Twin Peaks territory), and in February, released his debut EP featuring the slamming title track, “Girl.”
Now Youan’s back to where he began, sampling the work of another R&B singer who saw her star rise in the 2000s, Sunshine Anderson. The house-y “Nightwalker” features a snippet of her 2001 single, “Heard It All Before.”
Posting “Nightwalker” on his SoundCloud page, Youan writes, “This track has been going down really well in my DJ sets so thought it was about time I shared it! Hope you are into it.” Yes, particularly that busy-tone bassline.
In addition to DJ dates over the summer, Youan is prepping a second EP, Your Trust, for an August release. He’s also completed remixes for Kastle and Empire Of The Sun.
