Hailing from the dark woods of the west coast of the united states, Yard spent his youth dreaming of major cities. After moving to Chicago and soaking up as many house sensibilities as possible, Yard relocated back to the northwest. A stalwart of the urban 4/4 underground techno scene, Yard's gritty sound evokes a spectrum of gnarled city life to organic atmospheres.
