Read the vocal notations for Skrillex and Sacred Family’s ‘Yo Yan.’ The track features minimalist lyrics from Sacred Family and the Ragga Twins.
The vocal content for Skrillex and Sacred Family’s ‘Yo Yan’ is intentionally sparse and rhythmic, functioning primarily as a percussive and melodic element within the production. The lyrics consist almost entirely of the repeated phonetic phrase “Do-do-do-do-do-do-do,” delivered by Sacred Family. This repetition creates a hypnotic, mantra-like effect, transforming the human voice into an instrument that rides the track’s rhythmic bed. The interjection of “Yo” by the Ragga Twins acts as a classic jungle and dancehall ad-lib, a punctuating call that roots the electronic production in the vernacular of those genres. This minimalist approach to lyrics places the focus squarely on the sonic texture and the rhythmic drive of the piece.

This structural choice makes the track’s vocal parts accessible for engagement in a unique way. The repetitive “do-do-do” pattern is easy to memorize and sing or chant along to, despite being non-lexical. It invites participation through sound rather than semantic meaning. The Ragga Twins’ “Yo” serves as a simple, impactful cue that listeners can echo. In the context of a performance or energetic listening, these vocalizations become part of the physical response to the music, more akin to a horn stab or a drum fill than traditional verse-chorus storytelling.
For fans sharing these lyrics for knowledge or karaoke, the notation provides a clear map of the vocal architecture. Understanding that the “lyrics” are designed this way offers insight into the track’s artistic priorities—it is a composition built on vibe, rhythm, and cultural reference points rather than narrative. Engaging with these vocal parts is about feeling the rhythm and connecting with the old-school rave and sound system energy that the Ragga Twins reference. Publishing this notation allows an appreciation of how Skrillex and his collaborators use the human voice abstractly to build a specific, transportive mood on the ‘Kora’ EP.
