Yu Su is turning the page with her exciting new two-track release, “Foundry,” which dropped on November 14, 2025, via Short Span Records. This project sees the artist lean fully into a more club-ready, dance-oriented aesthetic, presenting her most direct foray into minimal techno to date.
The 12-inch vinyl featuring “Foundry” and its companion track, “Bonita,” is a masterclass in rhythm. Both pieces showcase deeply textured drumming and what she calls “decentred grooves,” crafted with meticulous attention to detail to ensure they hit the dancefloor with maximum energy. Fans who caught her 2025 festival run, including her set at Mutek, might recognize the dynamic feel, as these tracks were field-tested live to perfect their impact.
“Foundry” and “Bonita” represent the “bossier, growling end” of a larger, upcoming album set for release in spring 2026. This release is a vibrant reflection of Yu Su’s evolving creative direction, heavily influenced by her recent relocation to London and new inspirations drawn from artists like Baby Ford and Deadbeat.
The project is a collaborative effort with Matthew Kent from Blowing Up the Workshop and Mana Records. It successfully fuses elements of deep listening—the immersive, detailed appreciation of music—with modern dance floor aesthetics, all while maintaining the emotional depth and eclectic feel that is a signature of her artistry. Masterfully produced and pulsing with club energy, “Foundry” is a clear signal of an exciting new chapter for Yu Su and a must-listen for electronic and techno music fans.
Adding to its appeal, the vinyl release has been impeccably mastered and features compelling artwork by Lucas Dupuy. “Foundry / Bonita” is currently available for vinyl preorder through Short Span, with options for digital streaming also provided. This release warmly invites both long-time followers and new listeners to experience Yu Su’s innovative, increasingly dance-floor-centric world.
