For Issue 0003, Side B, Little DD and 阿帶 explore rhythm futurism in depth.

'Break the grid.' This is the quiet motto behind this B-side, and it is a clear illustration of their method. Rather than building tension in a linear fashion, they follow the swing, with each shuffle, off-beat accent and idea pulling the next into place until a new geometry emerges.

This B-side is a dialogue between ADEAD's other aliases — little DD and 阿帶 — each offering a different perspective on the same obsession. Together, they transcend 4/4 orthodoxy to create something more human: broken beats, broken pressures, pocketed grooves and syncopations that are as thoughtful as they are rhythmic.

It’s music for the mind and body: easy to dance to and impossible to zone out to. It's a reminder that in a world flattened by the grid, we need more groove and swing.
