Yeti Season - El Michels Affair

Originally brought to our attention by Derya Yildirim & Grup Simşek, Yeti Season by El Michels Affair is a lush, cinematic journey through funk, soul, and psychedelia. Blending vintage textures with Middle Eastern and South Asian influences, the album feels like a lost film score from the 70s. Leon Michels’ production is rich and dense, allowing dusty drum breaks, swirling strings, and hypnotic melodies to really sing. Standouts like “Unathi” and “Dhuaan” (featuring Piya Malik) offer a seductive fusion of East and West. It’s both playful and transportive, balancing deep crate-digger appeal with fresh, genre-blurring ideas. Yeti Season is a sonic adventure, mysterious, warm, and irresistibly cool.
