Since 2012, Markus and Frank—legends of the underground from KURT, TEN VOLT SHOCK and MAULGRUPPE—have channeled decades of raw energy and creativity into their duo YASS. With a sound that reimagines KRAFTWERK’s precision and hypnotic mechanical monotony through the lens of noise, distortion, and relentless rhythm, YASS delivers a visceral fusion of Post-Punk,Noise, Kraut and irresistibly pulsing Synth loops.

Having toured Europe, the USA, Japan, and Australia since the ’90s, Markus Brengartner and Frank Otto are no strangers to pushing boundaries. Between 2018 and 2023, they collaborated with Jens Rachut in the project MAULGRUPPE, crafting two critically acclaimed albums released on "Major Label".

Now, YASS is back with their third LP to be released in June 2025 on Crazysane Records—a highly anticipated evolution of their unique sonic universe.

YASS has created their own entirely unique sound by working with various samplers, loopers, extensive sound and vocal effects, as well as countless plugins. They craft the blue prints for their songs at home on the computer, transforming these intricate soundscapes into live performances. Especially live, this is a one-of-a-kind experience, bursting with energy and precision. The two musicians have over 10 record releases to their name. YASS itself has released three records so far on the former cult label X-Mist Records.

"Punk-Noise-Cyber-Indie-Rock barely scratches the surface. YASS is a trip—wild, mind-bending, and utterly one-of-a-kind."

-True Trash Fanzine

“Energetic noise-rock that’s not only highly entertaining but also incredibly danceable!”
