Words can't describe how utterly perfect this song is to me. The cohesiveness, the intricacy of the drums, the instruments, the keys, the notes, it harmonises so beautifully and I know this phrase gets thrown a lot but it honestly takes you on a journey. I am enamoured by it.

[@comradeq2493]

Yeah this track is fire no doubt i wish they made a whole album of this stuff

[@faithb.6501]

exactly how i feel. its perfection

[@Pompeiiaye]

you guys need to make an album

[@stefanozucchini2781]

[@cap_1stuperman536]

The people are asking....

[@pithet1953]

Jesus christ, these in the pocket ride inflections and these monstrous, tasty ghost notes. What an amazing drummer

[@leslie2023]

YESsssssss

[@eskyhenok1708]

That's incredible .

[@hristiangeorgiev5236]

1:00 enters the bass. And its like you dive in some cold deep waters and never want to get out. Miraculous music.

[@julianvandersteen2303]

Felt the exact same way when that bass dropped. My word

[@AndyFieldss]

and we diiiiive

[@mdzepina13]

It is amazing what this guys are creating, pure art...

[@hat1836]

Love the dissonance that cuts through this. Such a haunting melody and rhythm.

[@JohnOShaughnessy]

the recording quality is excellent. I can hear all that kit so close and well, realistic dynamics

[@Andrew-up9ij]

so close it feels like my ballsack is directly on the kit, thank you rick david for the recording / mxing

[@blakeproductions911]

my thoughts exactly

[@maze9828]

this is my favorite Yussed Dayes song and I'm so glad it's the one he up loaded. This one is the banger, LISTEN UP

[@smatsri]

Yussed Dayes is my favorite drummer now

[@aaronp1129]

Haunting and atmospheric piano in here. Somehow Feeling the Roger Eno vibe Druming on New level. Very nice guys!

[@kabelomohlala3634]

Yussef Dayes is killing the drums...

[@Ecclesiastes11718]

Those keys sound surreal,it feels like you're dreaming,trapped in half-familiar memory.Just this eerie sense of calmness

[@carrillo8749]

I recomend you "beautiful people" of Mark Pritchard, i feel the same thing with that song

[@MattFittPhoto]

That was brilliant! Beautiful, amazing drumming! Reminiscent of Richard Spaven, in the very best ways, while still being distinctly original. Bravo!

[@hat1836]

Very Spaveny

[@antonzigando150]

RIP Spavedawg

[@ericmaxhess]

Yeees! But i still think youssef has a more loose dynamic. Both are insane though.

[@xXcoolio1Xx]

Thank you! Investigated this Richard Spaven, was not disappointed.

[@isakenstrom3375]

Thanks for introducing me to Richard Spaven, what an amazing sound!!!

[@gabrielwildman]

I enjoyed black focus almost as much as i've enjoyed your tracks with alfa mist. I just need more. I NEED an album, or atleast an EP

This is cinematic. Idk- I imagine a mass exodus of sorts. These guys need to do film scores.

Playing in another world! GENIUS

[@chupachuubach.]

Beautiful, cold and futuristic. Love how strong the mood is

[@hoozentroger]

I started playing drum after I heard this music.

[@offshoredrills_music]

It's been a year now, how's the progress going? :D

[@lonelydoraiba]

peter you have to update us on your progress, you stick with it?

[@magnum7424]

+Peter Pinter Yes brother we need an update.

peter did you lie hat us ?

He must have gotten lost in the “pocket” 🥁

[@danieledinborough3395]

02:55 That drum groove that comes in for a couple bars is just what I needed

[@davidberman4335]

man you guys are next level

[@EclypseDubz]

The drumming is out of this world as always, bigup Yussef. You and Alfa Mist are such an interesting combi! Please do some more with Kamaal as well, I beg you!

[@antonzigando150]

nah Kamaal is the OG donny

[@ritarosalina]

@@antonzigando150 someone whos been around for a minute can't be a OG. its all hype man. all Kamaal does is stab 1-2 chords. he can't actually play.

[@Adam-uy3td]

@@tommimi9171 I used to think the same, but the dude can play (not just chord progressions...)

[@colorificiomario]

@@ritarosalina poor boi.. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@darkerthangray]

@@ritarosalina he can play, but he prefers the “hype man” parts. shame cause every other musician on Wu Hen have these crazy licks and he’s just playing chords😂

[@moosesnWoop]

You guys are brilliant. Glad you're collabing

[@jean-lucmarie5851]

Musique psalmodique, spirituelle. Cherche dans la richesse harmonique le plaisir des musiciens et provoque celui des auditeurs. Bravo!

[@matthieuguillot5299]

oui parfaitement exact !

[@moniquecavard745]

suis bien d'accord,j'adore cette musique et la batterie de Yussef Dayes .

Best drummer in the world right now.

[@jaceweimer3080]

he is amazing but i cant just put Nate Smith out like that. 2 styles both amazing both making game changing, inspiring music, maybe co-best drummers.

[@inslbua2k227]

id love a collaboration of alfa mist and antonio sanchez.

[@h.j.w2783]

edit: "my favourite drummer in the world right now" 😉 Yussef is a G but I'm sure even he knows he ain't no Chris Dave, Eric Harland, Nate Smith, Keith Carlock...the list could go on for quite a while.

[@Adam-uy3td]

@@h.j.w2783 Fair point, but Yussef is not even 25....all the guys you mention are in their forties. It's scary to even think how good he'll be in 20 years time.

[@YQVN35]

there's many styles ..many amazing drummers..Mr Dayes is among la crème de la crème.

[@LeonardenJeroen]

This hurts, in good way

[@fiojimenezjurado9224]

I love you guys, I hear your music as a prayer to the universe.

[@350block]

I just learned about these guys over the weekend via KZbin ad... Shazammed For My Ladies and have been locked in ever since... Yussef is a straight up monster on the drums... This some cold ass shit right here.... And YES, I need an album also. 💯💯💯💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿... Already found you on Tidal...

[@TLOFL]

Liked it before hearing it.

[@pthanos]

Holy mother of Jesus, what a piece!!!!

[@Trussles]

I love your drumming soooo much like its addicting to listen too. Im so happy to be alive with you to hear all this good stuff. Truly amazing.

[@mauropatriota6147]

Cheers from Brazil!!!! Waiting for an album.

[@maiconventura90]

Hug from Brazil!

[@leeontos]

Smooth drum techniks, rrraaaa, what a feeling, i mean, who really doesn't love this? Thats the heart! Yussef, rly thanks for all of your dedication to express the most beautiful beats i've ever heard these days.

[@spoonman9584]

So I've come from 80's metal to Heavy metal to Dubstep, to Glitch hop, to Chillstep, to Ambient, to Aphex Twin, to Yussef Dayes. What a musical journey. Keepin this on loop, and will keep waiting for more. Badass job Mr. Dayes.

[@jonasonyoutube1337]

That is an outstanding piece of music that deserves more attention!

[@bamesjond5502]

Dont know what it is, maybe its like Kendrick Lamard career! Everybody hyping up yussef like they dis to Kendrick. Sooooooo fucking dope unbelivable

[@xDTHECHEMISTx]

Intro piano rift makes me think of silent hill

[@MarysAbyss]

Yah... it's got that Akira Yamaoka vibe

[@seeemwalk4203]

I just started listening to your music and everything has been beyond excellent. Not one disappointing track in the bunch. This track reminds me of the old school show In Search Of by Leonard Nimoy.

[@Madeth91]

Tried to say anything good but all other comments said everything already 🤣 Just amazing.

[@tshidisomakoti5904]

Really exciting to see these two collaborate

[@zagadape109]

Very unsettling piece. Yussefs kit sound crisp and dry as hell and I think he's the only drummer sounding this way that I accept :D Few years ago I was on the long road in the middle of the night. It was a neverending german highway and pouring rain. For five and a half minutes Blacked out from the speakers made that trip surreal. Pozdro666

[@franciscocarranza9941]

Man, that hi-hat starting at 2:28

[@omarthompson3957]

These guys are on another Level Of Sure BRILLIANCE!!!! Found them by accident!? Or Privilege!????.🤔 Anyway they keep me going in my face of depression..... Although this is a Brilliant theme the title looks me in the face.... Blacked Out reminds me of my Alcoholic Habit!!!!! I Black Out........ Anyway love these ARTIST'S!!!!!👏👏👏👏✌️😊
