If you already know yetep, you know he’s one of EDM’s most promising acts. If not, let his debut album introduce you to one of the USA’s fastest rising artists. Blending melodic bass, future bass, and emotive EDM, ‘ÿ’ marks yetep’s first LP, released via Insomniac’s ‘Lost In Dreams’ label.

Blurring lines between multiple genres, the album is a journey through freedom and curiosity, one that reflects yetep’s musical beginnings.

Speaking about ‘ÿ’s concept, the artist says: “I started my music career making mixes on SoundCloud and posting them on Tumblr, just playing whatever I loved with no genre rules at all. That freedom is what made me fall in love with music in the first place. With this album, I wanted to bring that same energy back.”

“Rather than starting with a strict concept, I wanted to let the project develop naturally and feel open, the same way my relationship with music began,” he adds.

Consisting of 13 tracks, the production is also a representation of yetep’s evolution as both an artist and a community leader. Each track stands on its own, yet together they paint a complete picture that captures the DJ’s path so far.

Standing at the centre of the album is a spirit of togetherness and love, fuelled by the DJ and producer’s deep involvement within his community. yetep constantly provides aid to homeless youth and raises awareness around mental health through his Common Unitÿ charitable initiatives.

“At its core, this album is about connection and honesty, and creating space for listeners to take away whatever the music means to them,” mentions the artist about his debut album, ‘ÿ.’

yetep: The Journey To ‘ÿ’

‘ÿ’ arrives following a long rollout which began in May 2025 with the release of the album’s lead single, ‘Hate It When It’s You.’ Finally putting out his first full-length project, yetep steps into a pivotal new era, expanding his artistic boundaries while remaining connected with the values that have shaped his rise.

Originally from Seoul, Korea and now based in Los Angeles, the artist attracted a global following through a series of monthly mixes posted on SoundCloud.

Moreover, the unique, emotional depth behind his sound helped him cement his reputation as a producer, with support from names such as Seven Lions, Dabin, and Adventure Club.

Since his first official release, yetep’s productions have become a regular presence on renowned labels including Monstercat and Lost In Dreams, the latter of which released his album on February 27.

Even though a written format of yetep’s journey could go on for pages, there is no better introduction to this artist other than listening to his debut album, his most expansive and personal statement so far.
