YOUNA – Showdown EP (ASTR071B)
1. Showdown
2. Timelessness
Rising Korean DJ and producer YOUNA makes her Ãstral Records debut with two powerful,
contrasting tracks that capture both emotional depth and peak-time energy.
In just a few years, YOUNA has carved her place in the global scene with cinematic tension, bold drops, and a striking artistic persona.
Her productions strike a balance between intensity and atmosphere,
creating music that resonates both on the dancefloor and in the listener’s mind.
The EP opens with ‘Showdown’, a high octane peak-time weapon built around razor-sharp synths,
fierce lead bass, an aggressive bassline, and arrangements that steadily build emotional tension.
Dark and theatrical, it captures the moment of a “final battle,” where tension and release collide in an explosive climax.
–
I wrote the first draft of this track a year ago.
The moment the first melody played, a fierce battle unfolded in my mind.
The aggressive and sharp main synths and heavy reese bass didn’t speak of an ordinary fight.
They told the story of a solemn, final duel, a battlefield where it could only end when one side falls.
Who is your last enemy?
It could be someone’s name, the world itself or perhaps, your own self.
I fight ‘myself’ every day.
Loving, hating, respecting, then despising—
killing that ‘me’ in my heart countless times a day,
only to bring it back to life again.
This track is the record of all those battles.
Of clashing, falling, and rising again.
A war between me and myself.
