Youniss

Youniss

Youniss Ahamad’s journey started during quarantine and produced several tracks characterized by jagged rhythms underneath heavy synths and distorted vocals. In the four short years since the birth of his project, Youniss’ music has evolved into an amalgam of noise, electronics and samples interacting with his post-punk and hip-hop influenced poetry. In all his music, Youniss aims to examine and communicate his own Black life as it unfolds in Belgium, a country with a particularly brutal colonial history. With his next work, Do We Try Beyond The Edge?, he approaches a new rhythmic proclivity in his vocals, matching them to the same jagged rhythms and glitchy syncopation that have come to define his sound.
