Foundry (Vinyl LP)

Club aliens, rise up! Sonic wayfinder Yu Su has shared her third record Foundry; a delicious mesh of dub-techno, leftfield electronica, and ambient flavours. Equal parts soothing and confronting, the Chinese-born, London-based artist invites listeners to get comfortable with the unfamiliar - holding our hand whilst broadening our musical horizons. Foundry is gentle massage for the eardrums, and a blessing for the turntable. - Flying Out

Presenting the remarkable second album by the Chinese musician, DJ and creative chef Yu Su. An evolution from her 2021 debut LP and two track single released last year, Foundry radiates a fresh, fully-fledged and far-reaching sound. The nucleus of Foundry began with material penned for live performance at MUTEK in 2025, alongside a move to London which brought about new shifts in perspective. Searching for a style that was true both to her roots and progression as an artist, Yu ventured in a post-orientalist direction, and came upon a language of ‘in-between music’. Mixing the eclectic influence of her DJ sets with genre-defying collaborators and newfound taste for minimal and ambient techno, a dusky, dub-inflected character began to emerge. This broad palette reiterates Yu’s prior form in making connections across disciplines, which have not only consisted of music, but also multisensory endeavors which incorporate taste and smell.
