Electronic quartet LE YORA are back with ‘Solaris’, out 31st March as the third single from highly anticipated debut album Labyrinth, due later this year.
LE YORA, a new collaboration between four of Berlin’s most exciting DJs and producers SOMMA, Jewels, yuma. and MAGNUS, are making waves in 2023. As well as announcing their upcoming debut album Labyrinth, the quartet recently launched Ascension, their own record label and events brand, along with two singles, ‘Ascension’ and ‘More Than I Should Know’, which have both already received almost 800k streams to date.
Thrilling third single ‘Solaris’ is another prime example of LE YORA’s signature blend of afro house and melodic techno, with tribal rhythms setting the scene for ethereal indie-inspired vocals rooted in the quartet’s background in songwriting. “Everyone needs a different answer”, goes lead singer MAGNUS’ soul-searching vocal over a bed of shimmering synths and ascending piano chords.
LE YORA is a Berlin-based quartet composed of four rising DJs and producers, SOMMA, Jewels, yuma. and MAGNUS. Over the past two years as solo artists the four members have each built a loyal fanbase thanks to a string of releases via Selected, which together garner over 10 million monthly streams on Spotify alone. Starting in the fall of 2021 the four came together and, over the course of six months, wrote, recorded, and produced their debut album Ascension across various locations including Berlin, New York, and Glasgow.
LE YORA’s background is steeped in DIY culture. As solo artists, SOMMA, Jewels, yuma. and MAGNUS have all taken ownership over each aspect of their artistic vision, from songwriting and producing to mixing and visual art. While they grew up listening to club music, each of the four started their musical journey writing songs before entering the world of DJing. Now, going back to what they love most, LE YORA are hellbent on combining all their influences and skills to create a new wave of techno invention.
LE YORA’s thrilling third single ‘Solaris’ is another taste of the group’s debut album Labyrinth, as the Berlin quartet continue to craft their own unique melodic house sound.
