DESCRIPTION:
Yung Bae’s beloved “Bae” album series can be described as the result of a time traveler going vinyl shopping and making music with a crate-full from across various decades and genres.
Weaving curated samples from classics and transforming them into 3-minute ballads, Bae pays homage to disco, funk, city pop, jazz, and more. On 6AE, Yung Bae draws on influence from his usual wellsource and more contemporary dance music and rap; working with the likes of Life on Planets, Ric Wilson, Vantage, Imad Royal, Huron John, and Danny Quest.
Ever since 2014's Bae, Portland producer Yung Bae has kept up a numbered string of records variously titled Bae, this being the sixth. A darling fusion of vaporwave speed and hotly compressed city pop bred "future funk", the genre thus sired: here he's expanded the concept into full-fledged dancefloor pop, with more original elements as opposed to sample work than ever. With guests Life On Planets, Ric Wilson, Vantage, Imad Royal, Huron John and Danny Quest, samples tumble like they've been plucked from a thrift-store time machine, adding rap and live-recorded elements like naut before.
