Drawing on elements of Hi-NRG, “dreamy space disco”, Bakalao wave and beyond.

Dark Entries is releasing a new EP from Robert Yang’s Bézier alias, titled Valencia, this February.

Having learnt to DJ with the help of a roommate in the late ’90s, Yang first started Djing in 2003, later moving to San Francisco.

Alongside exploring themes of submission and liberation in San Francisco’s gay leather bars in the ’70s and ’80s, Valencia also acts as a rumination on memory, geography, and transmutation.

In doing so, Yang draws on elements of Hi-NRG, “dreamy space disco”, Bakalao and Valencian wave, and brooding electronics.

Valencia follows Dark Entries’ release of Back Up: Mexican Tecno Pop 1980​-​1989 — one of our favourite reissues of 2021.
