Launched during the height of Hypemachine’s digital frenzy era, YETI OUT was founded by Erisen Ali and brothers Arthur and Tom Bray as a blog-turned-parties series in East London. In 2013, Yeti Out moved back to China to bridge the Orient with sonic influences gathered through promoting parties in the UK. Now headquartered in Hong Kong via London, Yeti continues to bridge East and West via the introduction of new acts from the US and EU to China and Southeast Asia, while also debuting Asian talent in London and Europe. Yeti Crew, an ever-expanding cohort of 8 – 10 selectors include key members such as Subez Yeti, Fergus Heathcote, Allan Marshall, and others, all of who head subsidiary club series: Mean Gurlz Club, South Canton Soul Train and Yeti Dis:ko alike. Yeti raves blur the line between garage, house, sino grime and rap. With residencies on Hong Kong Community Radio to London’s NTS Radio, and monthly showcases at BEAM Bangkok, Cakeshop Seoul to Le Baron Shanghai, YETI OUT shows no signs of slowing down, and continues to fill the calendar with headlining shows at Sonar to Low End Theory, playing alongside A-Trak, Skepta, DJ Slink, Flying Lotus, Virgil Abloh, Nosaj Thing, Aphex Twin and throwing parties during Art Basel and Fashion Weeks. YETI OUT recently launched its compilation series-cum-record label; Silk Road Sounds, with Vol.1 highlighting experimental producers they’ve met through the club circuit. As creative tribes from the East and West continue to intertwine both online and offline, the label reflects a sonic exchange of cultures, paying homage to local regions through innovative sampling.
He really began to fall in love with design at design school, Enmore Design Centre. He always knew being a creative was my calling. Having a huge library resource, super fun projects, creative freedom and being surrounded with creative people really opened his mind. It opened the beauty that exists in every thing and every place. Learning how design is intrinsically integrated into our daily lives and goes unnoticed by most humans, allowed me to learn the visual phycology behind aesthetics and communication. I learnt to see the world in a new visual light. – via THE DESIGN KIDS.
