““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 create a storm on the dancefloor with their accessible and irreverant take on the music of Scotland.
With band members based in Scotland’s capital Edinburgh, and the seaside town of Dunbar, their music is a high-energy fusion of Celtic and electronic styles.
Their USP?
Madcap eclecticism, showstopping vocals, big basslines and solid grooves, all mashed up in a vibrant, high energy live show which takes their tunes far from tartan-shortbread-tin territory.
Over the past decade they’ve released 2 full length albums, 3 EPs, a mixtape, several singles, and played venues and festivals all over the UK.
Since 2020 their lineup has featured fiddle and showstopping vocals from frontwoman Lissa Robertson, Lewis Williamson on fiddle, flautist Helen Le-Mar, Gary Rafferty on banjo, producers and multi-instrumentalists Dan McGurty and Calum Cummins, and Ali Hutchison on drums.
Highlights from the past 2 years include the release of 2nd album ‘Part Machine’, opening for Hot Chip at Glasgow's Junction 1, a rammed 10th anniversary gig at Edinburgh’s prestigious Liquid Rooms in April 2023 and festival sets the length and breadth of the UK.
