A look back on 2025 with us, the music and community platform Yee. and what we are excited about in the future.
和我們一起回顧2025年，音樂和社群平臺Yee。以及我們對未來的興奮。
Yee.
Big ups to @linhsnotyourbae@the909ug and the wider gang for an absolutely great welcome into 2026. The 2 stage set-up was seriously well done 🙌
Big honour to DJ with my @yee.___hk crew alongside local dons such as @darkmetaz@s2._____________@iiehhhh_@mzee_aiff@kontomo0628 and many others.
Also shout out to @madctrl_ _ for one of my favourite sets of the night. Serious journey it took me on.
Still getting goosebumps from relaying the night and the music that was experienced.
2026 is going to be very exciting indeed.
I got my blue belt a few weeks ago at @carpediembjj_hongkong
Was a very special moment - and a nice surprise to cap off nearly a full 2 years of first starting BJJ by the off chance of living nearby in SYP.
Here I am nearly 2 years later, having gone through many aches and bruises (and even an unfortunate ankle injury) and still getting myself on the mats every chance I get to train, get better and most importantly surround myself with the great training partners, coaches and people there.
Shoutout has to go to @rosemoro_e too for being there constantly and helping me through that injury period, as well as the poor buggers who had to get me groceries and accompany me and my awful banter during that time.
Here’s to more rolls and more life 🥋 👊

“What defines the sound design of techno?”
It’s not just beats - it’s hypnosis through repetition and minimalism. In techno, repetition isn’t the chorus… it’s the destination. The brain stops treating each beat as new and slips into a deep flow state, called “trance.
This happens because techno removes changing melodies, forcing you to focus on tiny shifts in texture and timbre (timbrel listening). The foundation? The Roland TR-909 drum machine and its rigid 16-step sequencer that delivers perfect, mechanical precision.
Add a massive kick drum - a pressurized wave of air felt in your chest between 40-80Hz — and subtle syncopation for forward motion.
Robert Hood took this even further in the 90s with his “Minimal” blueprint: stripping away everything unnecessary to reach the raw, spiritual core of the groove. Tracks like “Minus” (1994) show one single vibrating line evolving for minutes through filter tweaks alone.
Less is more. That’s the power of techno.
What track puts you in that hypnotic state every time?
「什麼定義了techno的聲音設計？
這不只是節拍，而是透過重複與極簡主義創造的催眠。在techno裡，重複不是副歌……它就是目的地。大腦停止把每個節拍當成新事件，進入深度流動狀態，也就是所謂的「trance」。
這是因為techno去除了變化的旋律，強迫你專注於聲音質地與音色（timbre）的細微變化（timbrel listening）。基礎來自Roland TR-909鼓機及其嚴格的16步序列器，帶來完美、機械般的精準。
再加上強大的kick鼓——一種在40-80Hz之間、能讓你胸口感覺到的壓縮空氣波——以及輕微的syncopation製造前進感。
Robert Hood在90年代將這理念推向極致，他的「Minimal」藍圖：去除一切多餘元素，找到groove最原始、靈性的核心。像1994年的《Minus》就只有一條振動的線，透過filter調整延續數分鐘。
少即是多。這就是techno的力量。
哪首track每次都能讓你進入那種催眠狀態？

“What actually is techno?”
Born in mid-1980s Detroit, techno was created by three high-school friends - Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson - known as The Belleville Three.
They fused the electronic synth-pop of Kraftwerk with the funk and soul of Motown and the raw energy of Chicago house. The result was a new sound that captured the post-industrial feel of their city.
From Juan Atkins’ early Model 500 tracks like “No UFO’s” - often called the first true techno record - to Joey Beltram’s harder, darker “Energy Flash” in 1990, techno quickly evolved from melodic machine rhythms into the gritty warehouse sound we know today.
This is how a local Detroit sound became a global movement.
「什麼定義了techno？
techno誕生於1980年代中期的底特律，由三位高中好友——Juan Atkins、Derrick May和Kevin Saunderson（人稱The Belleville Three）創造。
他們將Kraftwerk的電子合成器流行樂，與Motown的靈魂樂和芝加哥house的原始能量融合在一起，創造出一種捕捉城市後工業氛圍的新聲音。
從Juan Atkins早期Model 500的作品如《No UFO’s》（常被稱為第一張真正的techno唱片），到1990年Joey Beltram更硬、更黑暗的《Energy Flash》，techno迅速從旋律化的機器節奏，演變為我們今天熟悉的粗糙倉庫風格。
這就是一個底特律本地聲音如何成為全球運動的過程。。
The lasers and the smoke really added to the ambience of last Friday between @the909ug and @yee.___hk .
With the venue really living up to the namesake of our event The Bunker.
1 carefully crafted room where you were allowed to step in, let loose, put your worries to rest, and let the room consume you.
A night of techno, 140, tribal, bass and all things in between these shades of the electronic spectrum resulted in a rare moment of a room, music, crowd and vibe all aligning to craft something special.
激光同煙霧真係令到上星期五 @the909ug 同 @yee.___hk 之間嘅氣氛更加濃厚。
同個場地真係好啱我哋嘅活動 The Bunker 。
1個精心製作嘅房間，你可以踏入去，放鬆，放低你嘅煩惱，畀房間消耗你。
一個夜晚嘅 techno 、 140 、部落、低音同所有喺呢啲電子頻譜嘅色調之間嘅嘢，導致咗一個難得嘅時刻，一個房間、音樂、人群同氣氛全部對齊，製作出一啲特別嘅嘢。
Reliving the raw energy from The Bunker - our first collaboration between 909ug and Yee.
We took over a secret warehouse on Easter Friday (3 April) and turned it into a proper techno bunker: industrial space, heavy 140+ sounds, tribal grooves, and that tight, locked-in crowd that just got it.
Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, danced like there was no tomorrow, and helped make this night happen.
Special shoutout to the full crew and all the faces we saw going hard on the floor.
