““Yoko Pwno are doing something really fascinating and enjoyable. Entwined into the traditions of Scottish folk music, are the synths and percussion that bring Scottish folk-music to a new route. To repeat …. if you have any interest in the lineage of folk music give this listen.””
““A marriage made in heaven… Dripping with references to techno, drum and bass and Chicago house, this is traditional music given a new and infectious energy.”
”
““What we’ve got here is a disc which fizzes, bubbles, explodes and generally bursts with more energy than a well shaken bottle of champagne,...
Yoko Pwno are trippy and pleasingly eclectic… more power to them.’”
““A glittering strand of Celtic tradition is twisted in among the bleeps, the loops, the transforms of technology... Superbly creative and skillfully executed, Part Machine has opened my ears to Yoko Pwno””
Yoko Pwno take the best of Scottish folk music, strap it to a rocket, and send it into space.
We mix the party atmosphere of dance music with the joy of a folk session. We’ve built our reputation through dynamite live shows, eclectic productions, and a fun, chaotic vibe.
The BBC called us ‘one of Scotland’s most loved live acts’. Spiral Earth called us ‘trippy and pleasingly eclectic’. The National even said that we gave traditional music ‘a new and infectious energy’.
To our friends and family, we are called Helen, Lewis, Lissa, Calum, Dan, Gary and Sam – seven friends on a mission to blow you away with a fusion of self penned folk tunes, songs, and the kind of banging, wonky dance beats that power Edinburgh’s underground club scene.
Since 2019 we’ve released two albums, toured all over the UK, and started making forays into Europe.
Recent highlights include massive events like the 2025 edition of Germany’s Rudolstadt Festival, a trip to the Alps to play Bolzano’s Volxfest/a, and more happy, dancing festival crowds than we care to remember.
