Yoko Takes Us On a Journey w/ “The Amygdala” via “Memoirs of an Abnormal Mind” EP

 Escaping into the different realms and realities that a soundscape can bring is definitely one of the best things about bass music. Here to take us on a journey of her own, Washington based producer, Yoko, has cultivated a way for us to travel into her own mind via her new EP “Memoirs of an Abnormal Mind”. Each track shares a different outlook or feeling to immerse ourselves in, melting us into her own unique world. Our premiere track today “The Amygdala” from this three track compilation, combines hauntingly beautiful vocals with a heavy bassline to create almost a cybernetic sound that leaves listeners wanting more. This track and the rest of the EP is definitely not one to sleep on especially if you are looking to escape reality and explore all that is Yoko. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “The Amygdala” and the rest of the “Memoirs of an Abnormal Mind” EP, a certified bop.

1. What’s one artist you’re grateful for that has inspired you to be where you are today and why?

I am insanely grateful for Mr. Bill and all the content he creates to teach other producers. Over the years his video tutorials have taught me how to build the core sonic concepts for the Yoko project, and his music alone inspires me beyond measure. I’ll never miss a live set from him, what he brings to the table is just so refreshing and unique.

2. If you could go back in time and start over given what you have learned in your career so far, what changes and approach would have done differently?

There’s truly not much I’d want to change if I could go back and restart, but if I did I would make sure to utilize my own voice from the start. It took me until just 8 months ago to start using my own spoken words, poetry, and vocal fx in my music. I’m not sure what I was afraid of but I would make sure to take advantage of it from the get go.
