[Swine Premiere] Lujiachi - Mantis (Over My Body)

Lujiachi - Mantis EP [OMB003]

Two years after his last release, Taipei producer Lujiachi returns in 2022 with Mantis, a new EP focused on heavy, percussion-driven tracks that roll out at around the 100 BPM mark. Each cut is tied together by snarling, fuzzed-out bass and metallic drum sounds, sounding like hard drum blaring out of a busted Marshall stack. In the brutal opener “Link,” sludge metal bass tones mingle with a reoccurring sample of labored breathing. Kick and snare are buffeted by all manner of glass-breaking and metal-smashing percussive noise, which threaten to tear the track apart yet somehow end up just making the groove even stronger. The title track begins with a crackle of distortion, announcing the arrival of a rumbling bassline that moves with a brash swagger echoing Lujiachi’s club edits of old school Taiwanese pop. As an eerily insectoid plucked synth figure stalks the high end, the kick locks into a 4/4 stomp to draw us to a lento violento-like conclusion.

Lujiachi’s peers in Taipei’s underground scene also contribute two remixes: psychedelic explorers Mong Tong transform “Link” into a launchpad for waves of pentatonic surf guitar, while emerging producer Sandy’s Trace retools the same track for maximum club pressure.

Lujiachi - Link

在FINAL有你從來沒有聽過的音樂，也有你耳熟能詳的音樂，充滿實驗性但又不失趣味。 

At Final, there is the familiar and the unexpected; the entertaining and the experimental. 

這裡是每一個躁動不安靈魂的歸屬。 

At Final, there is a home for all the restless. 

在音樂上我們嘗試不同的可能性，試著打破類型限制與規則，很多時候我們會搞砸，但每當我們完美抓到平衡的時候，是世上最美的事情之一。 

At Final, we strive to create new possibilities. While we screw up sometimes, when we get it right, it's pure magic. 

它帶給了我們希望與絕望，賦予痛苦與喜樂，但能因此碰到很多志同道合的朋友，人生本不就如此？ 

This pursuit brings us a lot of hope, pain, and joy. But in this struggle, we are able to meet many like-minded friends and build a community. 

張合輯收錄了五位跟我們有著緊密關係的音樂人，代表FINAL的聲音，獻給台北。 

This compilation is dedicated to Taipei. Inside is the work of five artists who are very dear to us, and who represent the sound of Final. 

「這裡是我們的故鄉，活得沒法不自在，祖祖輩輩根就扎在這片土地上，用不著你遠道再來尋找」—高行健。 

"This is our hometown, it's impossible to live uncomfortably here. Our ancestors have been rooted in this land for generations, you don't need to come all the way to find home." - Gao Xingjian.

++ PRESENTATION ++

Club Late Music & Over My Body team up for a joint release! Welcome Apex Union, a split EP featuring Bungalovv & Lujiachi with remixes by B E N N, Dj Animebby, DJ Würm & jondu.

The release initiates the new CLM collaborative series called SPLIT - a simple format where one member from the Global URL Nation shares an EP with an artist from another label or collective, and also marks the first official collaboration of young Taiwan-based Over My Body with another label! This joint collab is pretty straightforward : two artists, two tracks each and remixes by members of both collectives. 

Over the past few years, Bungalovv and Lujiachi have affirmed and cultivated unique sonic palettes that seduced local and international scenes alike. Their encounter on Apex Union initiates a dialog, a weaving of their extended footprints where throbbing basses intertwine with piercing noises, sharp percussions and spiraling voices - resulting in four tracks that will shred, tear and enchant the firmest minds and the stiffest bodies.

The original tracks are reinterpreted by B E N N & jondu from the Over My Body roster, as well as Dj Würm and Dj Animebby from the GUN community, extracting the core essence of the originals to infuse them with raw flavors, that will perfectly soundtrack the haziest cave raves and bleakest winter nightwalks.

Absurd TRAX welcomes new solo EP by Lujiachi, one half of Taipei based psychedelic drone metal duo 破地獄 Scattered Purgatory.

Divergent to the band's tranquilizing soundscape, the EP’s acutely drastic rhythmic emphasis easily place itself into a separate sonic plateau, earning itself its entry into the techno space, while the overarching ritualistic and tribal ambiance remains in the equation, they precipitate in contextualizing an nerve-wrecking succession of laser-focused club banging sequences.

In his own words, Lujiachi described "this record can be regarded as the first definite presentation of my forays into electronic music. I used to be in a band, and this experience shaped my approach towards crafting this record. With each track, I would prepare the percussion, following which I would assume the role of the bassist, layering a bassline on top of the rhythm. I was a guitarist in the band that I played in, which meant that I was rather less involved in the duties of the rhythm section. This work, then, can be seen as a rhythmic experiment, a set of songs in which I tinker with aspects of music that are new to me.

(這張算是我個人玩電子音樂的第一張正式作品，我以前是玩樂團的，所以個人計畫在創作時是以一人樂團為概念，可能會先想像我自己是鼓手，會打怎麼樣的鼓，接著在換到貝斯手的身分把貝斯疊上去，總之都會先把節奏的部分完成。因為我以前在樂團中是吉他手，比較少參與到節奏的部分，現在就想要嘗試做一些以前沒試過的東西，就變成這些歌了。)"
