1980–1985 The New Mix in One Go presents a curated overview of Yello’s formative years, bringing together reworked versions of key tracks from the early part of their catalogue. Rather than functioning as a straightforward compilation, the record reframes familiar material through updated mixes, emphasising texture, spatial depth, and rhythmic precision. It reflects Yello’s interest in sound design as composition, where production choices are central to the music’s identity.
Built around early electronic sequencing, sampled percussion, and distinctive vocal treatments, the album highlights the duo’s playful but controlled approach to structure. Rhythms are mechanical yet elastic, melodies are minimal but memorable, and atmosphere plays as important a role as groove. For producers and sound designers, the record serves as a reference in early electronic mixing, stereo imaging, and the creative use of studio technology. For listeners, it offers a cohesive and immersive listening experience that captures the character of early 1980s electronic music without nostalgia.
At Factory Supply, we curate records that document shifts in how music is constructed and perceived. 1980–1985 The New Mix in One Go stands as a snapshot of electronic music moving toward the studio as instrument, where experimentation, clarity, and humour coexist. A considered addition for producers, designers, DJs, and listeners interested in the foundations of modern electronic sound.
