Yasmine Dubois, working as Lafawndah, produces a style of personal club-oriented electronic music that defies neat labels, echoing contributions from fellow travelers in the wider Night Slugs circle such as Kelela and Fatima Al Qadiri. During her early years she divided time between Paris and Tehran, later returning to Paris for art studies at the Sorbonne, before settling successively in Mexico City—where she performed with the band Nidada—Brooklyn, and Los Angeles. Her self-titled debut EP, captured across a monthlong visit to Guadeloupe, surfaced in 2014. The same year she supplied a vocal that moved from restrained to fervent on Teengirl Fantasy’s “Lung.” After inking a deal with Warp she delivered the Tan EP in early 2016, a project shaped on Fire Island with Tamer Fahri and Nick Weiss of Teengirl Fantasy.
