Record collector / DJ / Broadcaster / Producer / Brownswood Recordings boss / occasional remixer

Yang Bing has been integral to defining Beijing’s underground music and dance scene, and is famous with the city’s clubbers for his fat bass, funky deep tech-house style. In 2007, Yang Bing opened Beijing’s premier underground dance club, White Rabbit.
A native of Beijing, Yang Bing began DJing in 1995 – back then the city had no clubs playing electronic music, and pop and commercial music dominated the scene. Yang Bing started out in one of these commercial music clubs, which was the only way a DJ could get a start in those days. But his own tastes were tech-house and he was interested in the rave scene. By 1997 he could no longer face playing in the commercial clubs, so he broke out on his own, promoting and playing at the first underground rave parties in Beijing bars with a group of like-minded friends. Crowds were small to begin with, but after three years of hard work Yang Bing and his friends were running the best nights in Beijing. At the same time, Yang Bing was honing his performance skills and establishing an audience for his tech-house style. In April 2000 Yang Bing and his friends brought all this experience together, beginning the China Pump Factory parties that are still the most popular events on the Beijing scene.
In June of 2000, China Pump Factory was the main mover behind the first rave event to have a major impact on China’s club scene – organising and playing at that summer’s ‘Party at the Great Wall’. Yang Bing’s music and infectious performance at the Great Wall received attention throughout China and internationally. He continued to successfully organize his own parties, as well as perform for other party labels. In May of 2001 Yang Bing became the first Chinese DJ to play in Europe when the Bern Electronic Music Convention invited him to play at one of their headline events. Yang Bing was then invited back to Switzerland to play at the one million person Zurich Street Parade with CheeseBeat in August the same year. Since then he’s played in Switzerland several more times – including shows at such venues as Spider Galaxy, Club Q, Supermarket – and has also performed in Vienna, Berlin, Amsterdam, Rio De Janeiro, Singapore, San Francisco and in cities across China.
One of the highlights of Yang Bing’s international career came in July 2003 when he was invited to play at the Rio Parade in Brazil, joining with some of the best DJs and party crews in the world, including Ministry of Sound. Throughout 2004 Yang Bing continued to organize regular parties with China Pump Factory at Cloud 9, Beijing’s number one techno and house club. In April 2004 Yang Bing was invited to play at The Liquid Room in Singapore. In June 2004 Yang Bing was invited to play at the Fusion Festival in Berlin, Germany alongside some of the world’s most famous DJs, such as Steve Bug. The only DJ invited from Asia, Yang Bing’s set was widely recognized as one of the best of the four-day festival. Following his debut in Germany, Yang Bing went to Switzerland to play at Club Supermarket, on invitation by DJ Gogo. In February 2005 Yang Bing was invited back to Singapore to play at The Liquid Room once again. Throughout this time Yang Bing has continually been invited to play at China’s biggest parties and festivals, such as the Yan Great Wall party. In October 2005, Yang Bing was the sole DJ invited to play at the China Music Festival in Amsterdam. As well as promoting one-off events and his international work, Yang Bing has been resident DJ at most of Beijing’s top clubs, including Vogue, The Loft, Club Orange, Velvet Room, Cloud 9 and Club Cargo.

With a distinctive sound developed through tireless attention to musicality and artistry, Stick Figure has redefined American reggae music with his latest album, Wisdom, released on September 9th, 2022. As with his previous releases, Wisdom was written, produced and recorded by Scott Woodruff, a self-taught musician, at Stick Figure-owned Great Stone Studios in Oakland, CA, former home of Green Day.
 
Wisdom is Stick Figure’s seventh album and follows the unprecedented success of 2019’s World on Fire, which peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Top 200, #6 overall Top albums, #1 Independent, and #1 Reggae album. World on Fire has sold over 300,000 copies including streaming equivalents, according to Nielsen soundscan data. Stick Figure’s catalog has now sold well over one million copies and been streamed over three billion times. 

Wisdom is a journey and a search for what matters in life–a search for meaning, purpose, place and belonging. Wisdom is a code to live by where we can accept that it is ok to start over, to make mistakes, to love, and to feel pain. It is a reminder to focus on the little things that bring joy and know that all of it is a part of our individual story. It also shows us that we should have some fun doing it all! In signature Stick Figure style, Wisdom can bring peace and happiness in the dark moments as well as in the good times, and the benefits of the music can stay with the listener long after the record has stopped spinning.

Ich mache Menschen mit Musik glücklich.

Hier könnte eine typische Biografie stehen. Ist aber nicht so. Ich habe keine Schallplattensammlung geerbt. Meine Eltern waren keine Musiker. Ich habe nie ein Instrument gespielt. Ich habe nie produziert. Ich habe kein Label. Ich habe keine Booking-Agentur. Ich bin kein DJ. Ich liebe Musik und empfehle sie weiter. Ich erzähle damit auch gerne eigene Geschichten. Musik sagt mehr als tausend Worte. Sie soll mich nicht reich machen. Und nicht berühmt. Nur glücklich. Das ist alles. Und das ist auch gut so.
