# AYA and BFTT’s New Label ‘Yes Come On’ Leaves Gun Fingers Blazing
Two Northern UK legends convene in a venture that distills the pure joy of their collaborative friendship.
Top notes
*Beautiful, kaleidoscopic, sassy club cuts*
Middle notes
Crystal clear sound design meets fizzy joyfulness, like a bottle of
sparkling water bursting into vivacious melodies
Base notes
A portal into the adventurous spirit of the Northern UK electronic music
scene
What is it about Manchester that makes the city churn out some of the
most exciting electronic music protagonists of our time?
The rainy city in the north of England no doubt enjoys a strong musical
legacy with acid house and the Haçienda, but its current league of
young, adventurous[ producers][1] and[ DJs][2] are once again breathing
new life into the scene. Take [AYA][3]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer
noopener"}, the club disruptor formerly known as [LOFT][4]. This past
festival season, she's caused a ruckus with her fearless performances at
Unsound and CTM, where she stood on the decks and poured a celebratory
bottle of beer over herself post-set. One of the spectators cheering on
her bold "[pint on your head][5]" moment was friend and collaborator
[BFTT][6]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"}, the Leeds-based
DJ, producer and promoter at Leftovers and Manchester-based party series
Mutualism. The two met at one of the Mutualism nights AYA was performing
at in 2017, and according to BFTT, Yes Come On, their new label
and their first release *YCO001*, was something they've been plotting
for some time.

Where BFTT's "Suchblush" is a lush breakbeat number that unravels like a
portal into another world, AYA's "Delishus" is a "carbonated fever
dream" that indulges in the artist's unique ability to create maniacal
musical characters. "You're so delishus," shouts the track's robotic
narrator, their voice contorted into a high-pitched screech. "How'd you
get so delishus?" it asks with increased certainty, like an AI coming
into consciousness with each repetition. A bizarre intermezzo of
floating strings follows, unfolding like a glitch in the system---and,
as with most happy accidents, how little sense it makes is exactly what
makes it so genius. "Long Island," the collaborative effort between the
two, lures you in with calmer tones, only to unravel into a slick D'n'B
roller ripe for rinsing at an afters' sunrise.
In short, these are three tracks for serious heads who aren't afraid to
have a laugh. After all, as BFTT says, "the M.O of the label is anything
that would make us shout 'Yes, Come On' in the club."
