2024.08

In 2019 Arma started his ‘Edits’ series which soon whipped up some traction over the pandemic as he added more and more flips to the series. In Spring of this year Arma dropped Vol. 3 on Bandcamp which featured the familiar sounds of French Montana’s ‘Shot Caller’ as made popular in the UK underground by Jammz & Jack Dat after it became one of the most played instrumentals in Grime sets and live shows throughout the scene over the past two years. Arma has applied his Funky and Jersey panache to give it a further revamp on his ‘If Its Nice Flip It Twice VIP’ which we simply couldn’t turn down despite not seeing the original.

Arma, the 27 year old producer based in London started producing and DJ’ing in 2009 which is clear to hear in the quality of his output and the labels he’s released on. Taking a mass of inspiration from late 90s House, R&B and Hip Hop for sampling, combined with his influence from key pioneers in Bass music, Redlight, My Nu Leng, Notion and Jamz Supernova it’s no surprise to learn his release on Redlight’s Lobster Boy imprint in 2019 was his best accolade to date. 2015 saw ‘Vex’ picked up by Monki for Fabriclive 81 and an appearance on LA based label Juke Bounce Werk further bolstered his reputation seeing him pick up shows across the UK. From club level at the likes of Soup Kitchen (Manchester) to festival level at the likes of Southbeats (Kent) before the challenge of COVID shackled the music industry and its habitants in 2020. When most struggled for inspiration and productivity Arma embraced the challenge with a string of self releases taking advantage of Bandcamp’s focus on supporting artists via ‘Bandcamp Days’ throughout the pandemic building up his discography with high calibre originals and edits which he’s now reaping the rewards seeing Notion getting behind this release in particular at a variety of club shows and festivals alike, as well as his latest mix for Dummy Magazine.

@zeanmusic, con base en Shanghai, es un productor musical y DJ independiente. Inspirado en el grime y dubstep británicos tempranos, lanzó tres EPs centrados en la música bass en 2014, 2017 y 2023 en los sellos Rankadank, Push & Pull y Gully Riddim respectivamente. También ha participado en varios lanzamientos de sellos como Dohits, Genome 6.66 Mbp, CVLT, OOFB, Sea Cucumber, Functionlab, S!LK y Yeti Out. Puedes escuchar los mixes de ZEAN en plataformas como Rinse FM, NTS Radio, i-D, Boiler Room y KEEP HUSH. Además, ha colaborado con músicos como P-Money, CharitySSB, G94 y Gnucci produciendo beats para ellos. En 2016, ZEAN y su amigo ALK co-fundaron el sello musical y fiesta Gully Riddim, dedicado a promover y descubrir más artistas locales y eventos musicales.

Después de un período tranquilo, ZEAN regresa con su cuarto EP en solitario, "No Roots", bajo el sello Gully Riddim. Estas pistas fueron producidas durante la pandemia y son notablemente diferentes a su trabajo anterior. Utiliza una atmósfera sombría y ritmos fragmentados e impredecibles, combinados con diversas muestras de sonido distorsionadas y sobrecargadas de humanos y animales, intentando diversificar su sonido y liberarse de su enfoque creativo estereotipado y fijo. Esto también es una forma de autocrítica contra esta tierra culturalmente estéril. El EP incluye cinco pistas de ZEAN, junto con dos remixes, uno del productor argentino Jaiiu y otro del productor sudafricano Jumping Back Slash. Ambos remixes reducen los sonidos experimentales de los originales, simplifican el ritmo de la canción y los cambios estructurales, haciéndolos más aptos para la pista de baile.

ENG:
ZEAN, based in Shanghai, is an independent music producer and DJ. Inspired by early British grime and dubstep, he released three EPs focused on bass music in 2014, 2017, and 2023 on the labels Rankadank, Push & Pull, and Gully Riddim respectively. He has also been involved in various label releases such as Dohits, Genome 6.66 Mbp, CVLT, OOFB, Sea Cucumber, Functionlab, S!LK, and Yeti Out. You can hear ZEAN's mixes on platforms such as Rinse FM, NTS Radio, i-D, Boiler Room, and KEEP HUSH. He has also collaborated with musicians such as P-Money, CharitySSB, G94, and Gnucci by producing beats for them. In 2016, ZEAN and his friend ALK co-founded the music label and party Gully Riddim, dedicated to promoting and discovering more local music artists and events. 

After a quiet period, ZEAN returns with his fourth solo EP, "No Roots" on Gully Riddim. These tracks were produced during the pandemic and are distinctly different from his earlier work. He uses a sombre atmosphere and fragmented, unpredictable rhythms, combined with various distorted and overloaded sound samples of both humans and animals, attempting to diversify his sound and break free from his own stereotypical and fixed creative approach. This is also a form of self-criticism against this culturally barren land. The EP includes five of ZEAN's tracks, along with two remixes, one by Argentinian producer Jaiiu and another by South African producer Jumping Back Slash. Both remixes reduce the experimental sounds of the originals, simplifying the song's rhythm and structural changes, and making them more friendly for the dance floor.
