Automne Fold

Work in Tokyo, rest in Chiba,eat high fat.

From his early releases on the legendary german imprint raster-noton, to his more recent output aimed at the club, Kangding Ray managed to trace a singular trajectory, navigating the unexplored territories between experimental music and dance music.

Through his consistency as both Live performer and DJ, and a number of critically acclaimed releases, Kangding Ray showed his ability to keep a genuine artistic approach, while slowly crafting a unique universe, equally focused on emotional response and visceral impact.

Kangding Ray’s music tests boundaries, evolving constantly in its exploration of texture and rhythms, while talking equally to the body and the mind.
From his past as architect, Kangding Ray kept a multidisciplinary approach to art, applying his craft in diverse artistic fields such as visual arts, film scores, audiovisual installations and dance performances.

🎹 Hessy is a Lebanese-born creative and multi-instrumentalist, founding member of indie electro-rock band Who Killed Bruce Lee. He came up playing piano, keys and synths in smoky Beirut bars—reggae, blues, jazz, disco, funk, hip-hop, soul, and rock—before carving out his signature synth-driven sound.

From smooth strides to the occasional elbow-on-keys glide, he adds his bold pivots and orchestration flair to any given song or style. He now works between Berlin, Barcelona, and Beirut as a composer, arranger, and session player. 🎹
