As most of us now live in a world saturated with information, this album feels like a reflection of how the modern world might sound if it were to process its own chaos through a unified scream. Hailing from the highlands of Bandung, West Java, a city where tradition and modernization intertwine in the rhythm of daily life, Xin Lie unpretentiously translates this cultural fusion into a sonically rich and rhythmically bold debut LP.

The artist’s roots in the hardcore and punk scenes reverberate throughout the album, though they’ve been reshaped and refined for the club. There’s an undeniable pleasure in experiencing the chaos Xin Lie channels—irregular beats, dynamic frequencies, and disjointed grooves collide and expand, each track laced with a sense of unpredictable energy. Yet even in its most chaotic moments, the music feels deliberate, its edges softened by a sense of compositional care.

The album reveals a strange duality: tracks that seem to beckon you to the dance floor but never quite let you settle there. Frequencies flicker and fluctuate in patterns that feel just slightly off-grid, as though resisting traditional structures. Yet, amidst the digital textures, Xin Lie weaves in organic sounds—snippets of native conversations or environmental noise—creating layers that feel both intimate and expansive.It’s fair to say this album extends far beyond the boundaries of today’s club music.

Picture this: you’re moving through your daily routines—mundane, repetitive—and suddenly, the music shifts your perspective. It reframes the ordinary as something surreal, as though it’s deconstructing itself in real-time, breaking into fragments or conjuring entirely new forms. Perhaps it’s best imagined as the soundtrack to a multi-sensory art installation or a performance staged not in a gallery but in an unassuming house down your street. Who’s to say where it might take you?

Feels Massive w/ Bakläxa & Louise Plus One: 27th February '25

Here's the recording of my set @fusebrussels in the motion room last saturday. Warming up for DJ Storm and with Mala on the line-up downstairs, the aim was to craft a hypnotic, rhythmic trip, exploring the fringes of dubstep and drum'n bass without fully diving in, getting people on their feet but still fresh and ready for the relentless sets that followed.

Hope you enjoy x ( ^◡^)

That's the contemplation album complete. 6 tracks all 8 mins and this track is just words ad-libbed using the letters of the word contemplative as an acrostic like guide


that's enough contemplating for now 😆🕺



Note on the tempos. So I started track 1 with a tempo of 22 BPM. A nice slow tempo allowing for a variance of being able to imagine different metrics whilst listening to the instrumental piece.
To get a variance through the album over and above that then I halved the tempo and did tracks at 11, 5.5 and 2.75 BPM

This is also a nice way of getting different in time responses from using delays and reverbs within the DAW. I wanted to retain the 8 mins per track so I used 4/2 timing and 4/1 timing for the half and quarter speeds respectively. This made it easy to lock in the 8 minute lengths with different tempos and adjusted timings

That's another thing worth learning. If you want to do very slow tempo stuff and your DAW like logic doesn't allow decimal place BPM, you can change the timing of the bar to get you count at the decimal BPM thats less then 10. This allows for being exactly in time with a wider array of faster tempos and not just ones that are divisable by whole numbers

For example

22BPM 4/4
11 BPM 4/4
5.5 BPM 4/2
2.75 BPM 4/1

It's an extra little nugget for allowing some clever timings and getting slightly different results or allowing for the option of symmetry with a wider array of timings as mentioned above
