Artist: Xiao Quan
Title: Connection
Mix & Master: Xiao Quan
Artwork: Gabriel Massan
Label: FunctionLab & Indieworks

The name Xiao Quan sparks a question mark and confuses tons of listeners. His nationality, cultural background and behaviour are topics that everyone who knows him for the first time want to talk about. Those are also the themes he is more than happy to play with in his music. In fact, he has lived in Shenzhen, China for two years, when Oil Club wasn‘t even open.

Cultural symbols from Asia and Africa have appeared more and more frequently in world’s art scenes in recent years, although the status of self-consumption in content and consumption by the Western world is still unchangeable in a short time. As a producer from São Paulo, Xiao Quan’s "Connection" EP uses a generalized and concrete way to create cultural symbols as he operates them and make them sound normal and casual, which is impossible for many original creators of culture, especially in mainland China, which is almost derailed from its tradition now. Xiao Quan is just like us (Chinese people and producers), absorbing and using a large amount of information from around the world.

"Connection" EP is undoubtedly based on the Xiao Quan-style black humor, and the connection with the Asian and African culture he deeply loves. Unlike in the past, he really participated as a member of Asian culture through FunctionLab this time. From the first sound of "Rolling Barrel”, like the sound of a dragon coming out of the fog, drums from Asia and Africa came through and wore it to the end, warm and obscure. Does the rough Chinese vocal sample appearing in the track puzzle you? This is the voice that Xiao Quan doesn't understand very much but crazy in love with. The fun is self-evident. As for elaborate arrangements and superb production techniques, these have never been the case for Xiao Quan.

Welcome to the wild and lovely dancing world of Xiao Quan.

OESHIXA, composed of six young, passionate, and diverse poc artists, embraces a variety of artistic disciplines. Our collective refuses to be confined to a single curatorial format, seeking to expand our practices beyond parties to include radio, physical and digital exhibitions, and other forms of artistic expression. Fundamentally, OESHIXA defends the freedom of &amp#39;club&amp#39; music, boldly exploring diverse blends.
As DJs, the members of our collective liberate themselves from any musical or social restrictions. Our mission is to create a community that understands and aligns with this artistic vision and its principles, which are missing from the Parisian scene: authenticity, inclusivity, a sense of community, and of course, transcendent music.
