ERF Records present a collection of sound works from YS for Little Virgil’s (@_littlevirgil ) “Night Prayer” originally exhibited at inter.pblc, Copenhagen 31.10.25
Developed by YS in mid-2025, following an open brief, these tracks were composed for Emil Grüner’s (@emilgryner ) exhibition alongside texts by Sun Yung Shin, Francesca Kritikos, Brandon Shimoda, and Mary-Alice Daniel. Later reproduced as screen-printed bed linen by both Grüner & Jacob Møller, installed throughout the exhibition.
Presented here as “Night Prayer Instrumentals” - 8 sonic interpretations of nightly modes, ranging from abstract hypnagogic drifts to glitched out insomniac overloads. Link in bio.
Thanks to everyone involved, and those who helped along the way.

What began as a personal retrospect at a point of transition in my practice has unfolded into a deeper inquiry into my relationship with space and performance. This platform has allowed me to lead with intuition and impulses, meandering into new but familiar territories to shape this experiment intersecting space, sound, and body.
In response to @scapesg theme, Softer Systems, we first acknowledge the visible and invisible forms of violence that take root within us. Through exploring the human condition, our emotional, mental & spiritual states, this process has been both affirming and nourishing, making space for connection while surfacing themes of fracture, resilience, and transformation.
Vortex is a spatial enquiry shaped by somatic movement and sonic layering. Led by myself, in collaboration with @y_systems , @l_professionel@born_slip_e , and @madjellywithskelly , we navigate flow and resistance together. We hope to immerse audiences in a journey where space, sound, and body intersect. Gently held by @pearnad0l and steadily supported by @xenagch and @pauluap333
We look forward to welcoming you.

After decades in hiatus, Jessica brings forth a most suitable MIX for @erf.records freshly mangled onto a cassette tape for your hard listening pleasure. Part sound artefact, part atemporal radio drama. Like a private recording pried from the depths of long lost hard disk, here exists a scrapbook of message & memory, traversing digital bitrate destruction, looming redundancies & the significance of analog formats. What could possibly survive?
Full mashup on our Soundcloud! Link in bio.
Sticking a dirty thumb in the eye of fate, our third collaboration sees our marrow deep family malarky turn official as Pace Yourself teams up with YS’s own imprint Erf Records for a split release.
Burn is the second YS album and written as a direct follow-up album to Brutal Flowers. If their first album was an exercise in the incremental, a construction of poise and patience, Burn, should be taken way the fuck at it’s word: it quite literally finds catharsis in twisted reverse. Birthed out the malignant kick found in deconstruction and chaos. The hit is radical and instant: a new way for the world to go up in smoke.
Dunno quite what YS have been ingesting of late but this massively twisted LP touches on a host of gloriously fucked totemic underground sources while not sounding much like any of them. Struggling to conceal their tongues in their cheeks there’s an air of paranoia and proto-conspiracy theory. Leaving you feeling like you’ve stepped into a New World Order.
Burn like other works by YS, is its own ritual beast. ‘Moth’, a track which has been knocking about the underground deejai circuit for many moons, is a real raw slice of stoner erotica reeking of obsession. Elsewhere, on tracks like ‘Switch’, ‘Trying’ and ‘Drift’ the throughline from Brutal Flowers can be heard. Underneath the driving heavy gravity the trademark emotional intimacies of YS linger: eternal recurrence, ghosts of static and shortwave, worn memories of the playful and painful sort. The brief moments where flashes of orchestral ambience get out from underneath the swagger are so pure, personal and unguarded that for a moment they leave you completely lonesome.
A dubbed to death classic straight out of the annals of nowhere. A perfect postcard from oblivion. A bleak, bold and personally ferocious vision of tomorrow, cauterising infected suburban minds world over. - Jack Anderson (@jankanderson_ )

YS - Autumn’s OST music video is finally out in the world. Bliss yourself & let this stunning video do the business on your soul
“The yellowest leaf,
I have ever seen,
Magic autumn leaf,
O’ where have you been?
Up on the tree,
Or on the ground,
Magic autumn leaf… you whisper,
Making hardly a sound,
Yellow as… urine,
You fall from the sky,
I love you autumn leaf,
I love you” - Tom Green

A song made back in 2020 by Leon & Nipuna. Filmed by Florence in 2022. Edited by Nipuna for the release of YS’s album ‘Brutal Flowers’ which was released Autumn of 2023. Subsequently the video was never released. Here it is, four autumnal passings later & right on time as per usual. This is ‘Autumn’s OST’ the only ‘OST’ for Autumn ever made fr. An ode to the yellowest leaf, walking through parks, watching young kites fall up and down, drug paraphernalia on the ground. There’s something to be found in everything, even a broken crackpipe.
