Back in 2020, this sentence appeared written in my mind : Is my body one big soup ? 
Am I only what I absorb ? Am I worth your slurp ? Can we eat it together ? :-)
One hour of songs that I’ve digested over the years.


M?STERY CUIS?NE w/ DJ :0 (04/06/24)

D!ANA always moves me but this time it’s inward. Contemplation is also a dance. Reflection is a murkier pool. Looking at and in and back and up—we’re facing something. Perhaps the huge spiral down which we’ve tumbled and now must claw back up. Perhaps a great cloud of garbled messages stuck on loop, on a broken machine (the mind is a broken machine, and thus a perfect one). 

Feels desolate when any answer is, in an instant, undone by another. When water tastes like metal questions clang through hard pipes. Like, how to move forward when stuck in the mud of perpetual regret? Wonder. Am I moving forward or circling some far off conclusion? Delineation. What space is there, suspended here: a tear for bliss, a haunting.

Something a bit more modern with this track im a big lover of UKG if you couldn't tell already.. It kind of has an almost Jump Up feel to it in how it switches between the intro and the drop, love how this one sounds hope you do too!

Stories concerning the heroes and rituals

Howie Lee - Island Birdy
Taken from the album Birdy Island, out now
LP/CD/Digital - Mais Um (MAIS042)

"At once fine-grained and expansive, Lee’s work combines traditional Chinese music and historical references with wild electronic experimentation" 
7.6 in PITCHFORK 
"Birdy Island is Lee's most organic work" RESIDENT ADVISOR
Swirling layers of OST-style sound design, dreamy choir vocals and traditional Chinese folk combine across eight dynamic and transportive tracks on Birdy Island, the latest album by Beijing-based producer/artist, Howie Lee, due out in April 2021 on Mais Um. 

Howie’s latest offering is as enchanting as it is boundlessly imaginative. “I’ve always had this concept in my mind about making an album based around an island”. Loosely based around Lee’s own long-formed concept of a floating Sicilian theme park, co-inhabited by both birds and ancestral spirits, Howie remarks: "Birdy Island to me is a palace in the clouds and the birds are worshipped like Gods. Not like a western God though.” Reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki’s Laputa (in the 1986 film Castle In The Sky), Lee’s Birdy Island has been built by a Chinese investment company seeking to re-sync our relationship with the spiritual and natural world after years of economic collapse and degradation, and who invite Howie to compose the park’s soundtrack. 

On the album’s 2nd single Island Birdy, Lee’s intricate brand of traditional pan-asian exploration meet experimental bass weight sound resurfaces with stripped-back UK Grime sonics and ceremonial taoist music at it’s centrepiece, fusing to create a sound world like no other. Reminiscent of movie or video game soundtracks of decades previous, Island Birdy feels intimate, yet refreshingly unfamiliar. 

From Daoist scripture to 1970s martial arts-themed wuxia novels, Howie’s myriad strands of musical and visual output have often enveloped themes circling modern and ancient Chinese history. Lee’s Socialism Core Value EP series and the dystopian-horror 3D animation for 2017 single Bankers (created and directed by Howie himself), as well as his work with visual artist and video game designer, Teom Chen (the pair have gone on to tour their collaborations across China as part of Lee’s live show), offer a glimpse into the broad social and cultural questions intrinsically entwined throughout his discography.
