Chang’e-4:

'Chang'e No. 4' is a robotic spacecraft mission, part of the second phase of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program. China achieved humanity's first soft landing on the far side of the Moon, on 3 January 2019. 
Chang'e-4 mission delivered a landing platform and a rover named Yutu-2 (Jade Rabbit-2) to the Moon's far side. Chang'e-4 landed in Von Kármán crater, within the Moon's South Pole-Aitken basin, in December 2018. An ancient lunar impact there may have exposed the Moon’s mantle. By studying this region directly, scientists will learn more about the early solar system and Earth. The mission also demonstrates the feasibility of future human and robotic far side missions.

"Chinese producer Ma Haiping released The Chinese Connection EP in 2012, becoming the first Chinese artist to release electronic music in Detroit. Subsequently, his music was featured on legendary labels, including Jeff Mills's AXIS. Years later, he returned to Detroit with his first Electro EP, set to be released on SCAN Records, the new label founded by the legendary musician SCAN 7.

This EP continues his acclaimed Detroit Futurism spirit. With the rise of technology in a new era, new systems provide humanity with more material resources but simultaneously control culture and thought. "Mind Readers" suggests that mobile electronic devices can track human actions and even make judgments before you think. "Sensitive Period" was co-created by Ma Haiping and Shanghai-based Scottish producer Shanghai Ultra in 2022. "No Exposed" reflects the idea that under the control of technology, it is impossible to reveal anything real because reality itself no longer exists.

The entire EP is crafted with classic 808 drum sounds and a funky bassline, paired with cold synthesizers that create a dystopian texture. Like all Electro musicians, Ma Haiping was deeply influenced by Drexciya."

The Book of Techno｜Introduction

Original Author: Mark Petes-Varga
Translation: Ma Haiping / Youhao Dianshi

Welcome to Youhao Radio! I’m Techno music artist Ma Haiping, and it is my pleasure to launch this in-depth series dedicated to exploring the culture of Techno music— the first of its kind in the Chinese-speaking world.

For years, I’ve had the idea of creating a program to share the rich cultural landscape of electronic music, but I lacked the courage and resources to make it a reality. That all changed when I encountered The Book of Techno, a profound work by Mr. Mark Petes-Varga, published earlier this year. Upon reading it, I was compelled to reach out to Mark and propose introducing this invaluable book to the Chinese electronic music community. Mark responded enthusiastically and granted Youhao Radio exclusive rights to this collaboration. Together, we are turning this vision into reality.

In this series, we will take you through the history, present, and future of Techno music, exploring how it emerged from the underground clubs of Detroit and expanded into global dance floors, becoming the heartbeat of contemporary electronic dance music. We won’t just recount its history, but also ask: What makes Techno a cultural force that transcends geographical, racial, and temporal boundaries?

As an artist who has been deeply involved in Techno music creation and performance, I know that Techno is far more than a musical genre—it is a cultural phenomenon. Techno represents innovation, defiance, and the unrelenting pursuit of freedom. Since its inception in Detroit in the 1980s, the global spread of Techno has not only reshaped the way music is made, but also transformed how we understand music, emotions, and society. This book goes beyond documenting the origins and evolution of Techno; it explores how key figures and movements within the genre have interacted with societal, technological, and political contexts, driving the evolution of electronic music.

Throughout this podcast, we will examine how Techno music has shaped today’s electronic music landscape, drawing on the key themes and insights from The Book of Techno. From Detroit to Berlin, New York to Tokyo, and the local club cultures of China, Techno has evolved from a regional music phenomenon to a global cultural icon, influencing artists, clubs, and audiences worldwide.

Through this series, I aim to present the distinct allure of Techno music while delving into its profound cultural and historical roots. This is not simply a retrospective of the music itself, but an intellectual exploration of the cultural forces that have shaped this global phenomenon.

Thank you for joining us. I look forward to taking you on this journey through the world of Techno in the episodes to come.

欢迎收听友好电波！我是电子音乐人Ma Haiping，很高兴与大家一起开启这个华语世界唯一关于Techno音乐文化的深度系列节目。
很早以前，我就有过制作类似节目、分享电子音乐文化的想法，但一直没有足够的勇气和精力去实现。直到我读到了由Mark Petes-Varga今年发布的《The Book of Techno》这本深入探索Techno文化的著作。我在网上联系了Mark，向他提议我们应该把这本极具价值的书推荐给中国的电子音乐爱好者。Mark对此表示非常高兴，并且独家授权给友好电波合作，我们一同决定将这件事情变为现实。


 
在这档节目中，我们将带你穿越Techno的过去，现在和未来，探讨它如何从底特律的地下俱乐部，扩展到全球的舞池，最终成为当今电子舞曲的心脏。我们不仅要讲述历史，更要问：是什么让Techno成为一种跨越国界、跨越种族，跨越时间的文化力量？
我作为一名长期活跃在电子音乐创作和演出的音乐人，我深知Techno不仅仅是一种音乐形式，它更是一种文化现象。它代表着创新、反叛以及对自由的追求。自1980年代底特律诞生以来，Techno音乐在全球范围的传播不仅改变了音乐的表达方式，也深刻影响了人们对音乐、情感以及社会的理解。这本书不仅讲述了Techno音乐的起源与发展，它还通过对关键音乐人物的详细研究，展现了音乐如何与社会、技术及政治相互作用，推动电子音乐的演变。
在这个播客节目中，我们将结合书中的核心内容，探讨Techno音乐如何深刻影响了今天的电子音乐场景。从底特律到柏林，从纽约到东京，再到中国本土的俱乐部文化，Techno从一个地方性的音乐现象，逐步发展成全球性的文化符号，深远地影响了世界各地的俱乐部、艺术家与听众。
通过本节目，我希望为大家呈现Techno音乐的独特魅力，并带领大家走近它背后的文化和历史。这不仅仅是一次音乐的回顾，更是一次对这一文化现象的深入反思与理解。
感谢大家的收听，期待与大家一起在接下来的节目中展开这场音乐之旅。

Folding Traces
Genre: electronic
Format: album
Producer: Ma Haiping (MHP)
Release date: April 2016
Record label: D Force Records (大福唱片)

 
For many people, “techno” is a distant, complicated, rigid Western form. The work of Ma Haiping (MHP) does not fit this description. MHP has a special connection with techno’s birthplace, Detroit, and has earned the title of Shanghai’s Techno Son with his emotional brand of electronic music fusing force, elegance and grace, a sort of high-tech fluorescent dreamscape. On April 13th 2016, MHP will release his new album, Folding Traces, on Beijing independent record label D Force. In addition to the material from his widely acclaimed Crepuscular Rays EP, this full length album also includes several additional tracks.

Folding Traces is an album about the city and the future. From “Motor City Remix” to “Tonal of The Rainy Season”, culminating in “Melbourne Sunlight”, fast-moving, mechanic rhythms and shimmering synth stabs construct magnificent scenes of the Future City: flowing, evolving, complex, boundless, filled with potential and vitality. “Manifesto of Futurism”, like the work of the great master Vangelis, creates a sublime, cinematic atmosphere, uniting science fiction and our present reality. MHP invited science fiction host Yang Xiaojun to read an excerpt from Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s century-old poem of the same name. His slightly joking expression points out the album’s spiritual theme.

 
Folding Traces is an album about illumination. MHP has a deep background in the arts. The name “folding traces” refers to the brightly colored traces seen after a ray of light is refracted, as well as the Futurist/Cubist perspective folding technique. Even though it exists within the context of techno’s beat and cadence, MHP also weaves graceful melodies and delicate timbers into his compositions, creating an extraordinary sense of pictorial space. Especially on “Crepuscular Rays” and “Anticrepuscular Rays”, the album’s echoing bookend tracks, it’s almost as if you can hear intersecting lines of light and shadow and the flow of color.

Folding Traces is also an album about emotion and memory. “Folding” obliquely references the plot of cult science fiction film Blade Runner: in the movie, folded origami animals serve as an indirect metaphor for human nature. The entire album is a careful selection of tones, setting a mood that recalls ‘80s and ‘90s science fiction soundtracks: vast and deep, yet at the same time evoking the familiarity of nostalgia. As opposed to the majority of techno albums with their all-electronic aesthetic, Folding Traces is deeply enriched by its selective inclusion of acoustic instruments. Opening track “Entrance to My Emotions” features guest musicians Xia Bao and Li Haoran, and closing track “Melbourne Sunlight” features former Gorillaz collaborator Wang Meng’s stirring guzheng performance. All of these guest performances add to the album’s depth and warmth.

Folding Traces is the first full-length album that MHP has released within China. Previously, he has released vinyl records on Detroit label Cratesavers International and Dutch label Nightvision Records. For the past few years, he has also regularly worked with artists of different media on cross-disciplinary collaborations, giving improvised, experimental performances in theaters and art galleries. These experiments are reflected in this album, as they are all distinct but related aspects of MHP’s particular charm.

"Scan 7's Label Cratesavers International Truly Prove That They Are International With This Release From Chinese Ma Hailing aka MHP."

Release Date:2013

The Chinese Connection Ep-MHP(Cratesavers International)

"Sagittarius S2 effect" means that in the constellation a, the star named "S2" revolves around the black hole. Due to the special influence of the gravity of the black hole, each revolution forms a different orbit. In Ma Haiping's view, this interesting astronomical phenomenon is also like the trajectory of people's lives. It is dragged by various kinds of fetters, emotions and desires, just like a black hole. The expected results may not fall on the road he expected.
Following the full-length album "Lost Frontier" released in June 2020, electronic musician Ma Haiping released the single album "Sagittarius S2 effect" at the end of the year. If "the Lost Frontier" is Ma Haiping's rebellion against his past music experience, then "S2 effect of Sagittarius" is a work returning to experimental music and techno.
As one of the most important pioneer musicians and techno producers in China, this single is full of sound design experiments. The first one "Sagittarius" starts with a sense of religious ceremony, which ignites energy agitation and depicts the unpredictable changes of the Sagittarius nebula. This single was also invited by car brand Maserati to be used for the official release soundtrack of the new Ghibli car. S2 effect is a minimal techno created with modular synthesizer. This song is the first one in the record. Black hole and Lefou, a Chinese American producer who participated in Remix before, work together again to draw a picture of the ethereal space world with the psychedelic female voice sampling.

Ma Haiping 
(AXIS | SOMA | MOLECULAR)

Ma Haiping stands as one of China’s most influential electronic and independent musicians, a trailblazer who has carved out a distinct space in the global Techno scene. His music is a seamless fusion of Detroit Techno traditions with Sci-Fi-infused, hypnotic soundscapes, crafting deeply immersive and futuristic tracks that captivate both dance floors and deep listeners alike.
A defining moment in Ma Haiping’s career came when his album Chang’e-4 was released on the legendary Axis Records, founded by Techno visionary Jeff Mills. Mills himself lauded the album, recognizing Ma Haiping’s ability to push sonic boundaries while staying true to the genre’s roots. This release not only marked a significant milestone for Ma Haiping but also placed him among a select group of artists who have contributed to one of the most respected Techno labels in history. In 2025, Ma Haiping signed with SOMA Records and released the single "Earthworm," strengthening his place in the global Techno music scene.
His impact on the global scene, however, was already in motion years before. In 2013, Ma Haiping made history as the first Chinese producer to release Techno in Detroit—the birthplace of the genre—with his EP The Chinese Connection on Scan 7’s Cratesaves International label. This breakthrough symbolized a cultural bridge between the East and West in Techno, highlighting his deep respect for the genre’s origins while adding his own innovative perspective.
Continuing his journey, 2015 saw the release of Crepuscular Rays on Orlando Voorn’s Nightvision label, further establishing his reputation as a producer with a keen ear for atmospheric and driving Techno. In recent years, between 2022 and 2024, Ma Haiping continued to build an impressive discography, releasing EPs such as XX 8, Collapse, Parallel Cycle, Invincible EP, and Artificial Ecstatic. These works found homes on prestigious international labels, including the UK’s Molecular Recordings, France’s Seclusion, and the USA’s Sythetik Sound, further cementing his status as a global force in the underground Techno movement.
His music has consistently garnered attention from major industry platforms. Beatport has regularly featured his tracks as some of the best Techno (Raw/Deep/Hypnotic) releases of the month, recognizing his ability to craft intricate, powerful compositions that resonate with both DJs and listeners. Esteemed media outlets such as Groove Mag, Mixmag (UK and Asia editions), and 5 Magazine have also highlighted his work, praising his ability to blend rhythmic intensity with atmospheric depth.
Beyond critical acclaim, Ma Haiping’s music has earned the respect of some of the biggest names in the industry. His tracks are frequently played by top international DJs, including Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Slam, Ben Sims, Ken Ishii, DVS1, Rødhåd, Kr!z, and Rene Wise. Their support has helped introduce his sound to dance floors across the world, reinforcing his influence in the ever-evolving Techno landscape.
His performance footprint has reached the Recombinant Festival in the United States, the Cervantes Arts Festival in Mexico, clubs in Australia, Japan, Panama, El Salvador, and other countries. His music is a journey—one that bridges the past, present, and future of the genre. As he forges ahead, he remains not just a producer but a visionary artist shaping the sound of tomorrow.
