Listen: "Ridiculously funky" new Yu Su

Canadian producer Yu Su has a new vinyl release ‘Watermelon Woman' on Ninja Tune sister label Technicolour - four versions of the "ridiculously funky" title track, which is itself a riff on Herbie Hancock’s impossibly smooth and delightfully kooky classic jazz composition, as Fact Magazine puts it. She explains that "The whole idea of ‘Watermelon Woman’ comes from the beginning of Herbie Hancock’s ‘Watermelon Man’. I wanted to develop it into this endless fun and very Silk Road sounding thing". Listen to the 12'' on BandCamp.
