Mixtapes

Next in our mix series, Teng takes us on a journey to Tai Long Wan. Much like the hike itself, the mix starts with some sweaty uphill beats then arrives at a tranquil destination.

MIX002 - Teng (香港)

來自美國洛杉磯的製作人Liquid Earth，以Urulu名義遠渡香江在宀與我們一起慶祝踏入2019年新年。Urulu不忘香港，特地製作了一個mix set名為「Ferry to Lamma Island」，音樂型格亦豐層次，滿載著對香港的美好回憶。

本名Taylor Freels，於全球新冠肺炎之初開始以Liquid Earth之名為新製作人代號，現今已發行兩張EP，也在美英兩地的獨立廠牌Butter Side Up、 TerraFirm及 Lemak Records旗下推出其製作。
宀期待Taylor再次踏足香港。

Liquid Earth (LA) played at 宀 New Years of 2019, under the Alias Urulu. He lovingly shipped over a mix as a memory of his visit. “Ferry to Lamma Island” is an eclectic, undulating, sensation of layered sounds. Upbeat and mesmerising, with hints of Hong Kong.

Taylor Freels birthed Liquid Earth at the beginning of the pandemic and has already self-released two EP’s, released on Butter Side Up (Leeds), TerraFirm (Pittsburgh) and Lemak Records (LA).

———————————————————

For 宀’s second release, the Hong Kong label debuts local DJ/Producer, Xiaolin, with her first EP. Echoing a third culture upbringing, the EP spirals down Xiaolin’s journey of internal-discovery. She layers together a plethora of nostalgic influences from retro video games, Lunar New Year and mountain trails. Formally a classically-trained violinist, Xiaolin has bloomed in the electronic music scene with her rich technical toolkit and meticulous sound design.

The punchy four track EP, MIHN002, lifts off with a 140BPM electro/breakbeat track, LANTERNS. Made with mostly analogue gear, the driving baseline persist down a continues tunnel while soaring melodies and romantic chords fly overhead. To wind down the release there’s an ambient mix of LANTERNS, diving into Xiaolin’s intimate side with personal recordings of nature; a fire crackling in the distance and a gentle waterfall.

Xiaolin’s sensitivity draws a bold line through the EP while giving each track the depth and precision to stand alone. LION DANCE bounces into dance floor euphoria with dynamic acid lines and stabs of festive percussion. While, GHOSTRIDER is a speedy race through cosmic space; ethereal pads of ecstasy cut through the great beyond with hopeful notes of adventure.

Label: 宀

Over the last few years, we have got to know the Glasgow based duo General Ludd, bringing them to Asia back in 2016 and 2018. This will be their third record to come out on a Hong Kong based label, and will be their first full length LP to date. Eponymously titled, General Ludd, the 8 track record exemplifies their bold, unconventional approach to dance music production.

Like the club the label is born from, the music here is about imagination and catharsis in a brave new world. Though the album is full of clean and crisp sound design that excrete an aura of the digital era, General Ludd embody a rupture in the technological utopia. This is somehow still very much human music, music for the ecstatic moment, it invites the body to move freely and with abandon. General Ludd build tracks that don’t always hinge on a bass line, the sub-bass frequencies are there but are part of a rich tapestry, woven into a fabric of synths and other-worldly samples and voices.

Perhaps distinct from some of their past work with labels Mr Saturday Night, Rubadub & Ostgut Ton, there is a certain coldness and sparseness in the construction of the music. As with all of the duo’s back catalogue, there is not one form, one fixed genre, the music is alive and constantly shifting. Maybe you can call it post-club dance music, because of the conventions being broken, but there are no deconstructive impulses. It’s not music to fulfil a category, it’s music for moving people in new methods, in the hips, the head and the heart.

The album comes with a re-interpretation of “Guld” by Laughing Ears, an electronic music artist who currently lives in Shanghai. Her music is a knack for blending otherworldly atmospherics with heavy bass-lines that explore space, melody and rhythm to create complex yet tranquil productions to get lost in.

It comes a bit earlier than we expected but we are very happy to announce a new release on 宀 Music, “Dream Bot” (MIHN004) by Singapore-based Indonesian artist Jonathan Kusuma.

@jonathan-kusuma is no stranger to club music. He has played, produced and re-edited multiple works. This is what he excels at. But on Dream Bot, he wants his audience to discover a more introspective side of his sound. Raised in Indonesia, where rhythms are abound - be it from a folk song sung in a ceremony, a machine in a soul-crushing factory or a Boombox on the back of a bicycle - Jonathan’s ears are destined for a career absorbed in rhythm and sound.

With 4 tracks of kaleidoscopic rhythms and introspective moods on Dream Bot, he is paying homage to his rich musical education and heritage. Layered percussive samples come to mind as well as the intricate interplay of gamelans and moody arpeggios. They both evoke their distinct mournful tunings. Dream Bot is a reminder of his roots and the beauty of the sounds on the Indonesian streets that have left many ears in awe.

On top of that, we also have the honour of presenting a re-interpretation of “Self Program” by none other than Tolouse Low Trax (@detlefnet) himself.

The pre-release starts today. The vinyl records, as well as the digital, will be available on July 11th on our Bandcamp page and in your favorite records store serviced by @oneyewitness

Q & Q

Guber is a blue-collar bass music producer from Paris. While you may think he’s newcomer in the local electronic scene, he has already released several records from Paris-based Beat X Changers, Bad Winners Records labels as well as several self-releases that has been heard all around Europe. His influences come from the 90’ metal scene to the UK Bass 2010 decade bangers, both following common paths of massive sub-frequencies shocks and obsessional drum loop. When Guber is self-releasing, his visual identity is heavily influenced by asset plants & machinery from the Energy Industry and enable to finally produce overall tracks with a universe deeply reflecting his own day-to-day work environment.

Wrong Ibiza EP follows 2 opposite dynamics from mental endothermic deployments to spontaneous exothermic loop deliveries. One face that is more uncertain, with bass lines densely packed with Brazilian-influenced drums, while the other is composed with tech-house cuts dimensioned and played around different rhythms and tempos. Guber shows in 'Wrong Ibiza' he is a savant in creating an engaging tapestry of sample loops, a sonic magic carpet ride of forgotten genres, a ride that does not lean on nostalgia to create magic but utilizing his uncompromising ears to weaves and waves decades of dance music sounds into a new end-product for the here and now.

The final remix from Ploy is overarching and consolidates the whole EP around sharp resequenced loops based on the main sample cuts. Diligent 148 bpm-remix, the track focuses on the development of hard cut vocals from the original mix, mechanically deployed among muddy atmospheric breaks. Side elements moving forward enhance the whole structure to deliver pure mental vibe construction.

A wise character once reminded her to tread the heavy ground with light feet. After a whirlwind two years since moving back to Hong Kong and starting from scratch, Xiaolin has re-emerged from the depths of her studio stronger than ever with a second EP - her first vinyl release to date.

Inspired by the Tower card from the Tarot, Tower Moment EP is a cosmic journey through four stages of healing: darkness, acceptance, transformation and freedom.

The record begins with “Dark Night” (of the Soul), followed by the gentle comfort of “Safe With Me”, a nostalgic electro ballad. On Side B: a chuggy tune layered with textures and samples, “Lemuria”, transports listeners to a surreal land of self-discovery, while Blue Hour completes the experience with his anthemic “Elevator” remix.

With her signature mix of 909 kicks and 808 breaks blended with acid bass lines, subtle percussion and ethereal melodies, Xiaolin’s organic approach to techno and electro showcases her colourful palette and sensitivity as a musician, along with a love for jazz and warm synth sounds from the early 90’s era.

Pure Virgin EP, compiling 3 original tracks that were produce by Vietnamese artist "TrinhNu" during the most intense lockdown in Vietnam, is considered as a love letter to the early 90s dance music - unconventional, progressive and fearlessly fun. “A Shout Going Out” kicks off as a quasi-breakbeat House track, accompanied by the nostalgic samples. “The Cliffhanger”, inspired by European proto-Trance, offers a mystical ambience and a darker atmosphere to the club. On the other side, peak-time “Tu Nay” is the journey of ravey sounds with euphoric M1 synth-lines and classic samples.

宀 records proudly presents the new EP ‘Apollo’ by the duo from Washington DC, Rush Plus. The title track offers up heady, cerebral, celestial techno. Ready to kick up dust and initialize the dance floor French producer Amor Saytr provides a rambunctious, bass heavy twist to ‘Apollo’.
 
Flip it around and turn it you get ‘Flexibility’, a track that at first builds a minimal thread of tension between rhythm and sound that widens and relaxes to open up a projection of night skies eager to part so daylight can break. ‘Orange Turbo (feat. Gordon)’ injects charged, syncopated static into bodies to accentuate an angular degree of posture to move the collective’s sensations toward a euphoric climax.
 
The tracks all combined exerts focus and mindfulness for the dancefloor. Apollo is a summoning of forces ready to conjure an electrifying, ecstatic experience. 

For devotees at the altar of atmospheric techno, inquire within.

Mr. Ho’s 宀 residency gave us yet an another glorious nights last summer. A sort of a natural born league of his own, we had the wonderful Knopha, Xiamen’s DJ extraordinaire and an important club music voice of China. We’re not just giving out the “voice” title easily, it’s more that Knopha really speaks in tongues when it comes to all the styles, genres, fantasies and snippets of reality he incorporate in his sets so this naturally resonated with many.

HOST friendly gatherings had some of the most musically interesting parties this year, it’s a fact. Inspiring to see a Hong Kong based LGBTQ party collective carrying the torch of great music curatorship, in a way Cocktail D’Amour did in Berlin back in the days of future past. 
 
Pushing the boundaries a bit further this time, WC7 is welcoming the gays and theys. Perfectly suited for your naked body’s temperature, this Balearic soul, 4th world enthusiast and weird-wave seeker is here to really mess you up. Firmly rooted in cosmic, kraut, and tropic dance heritage, he cruises for any well-crafted and uncanny melodies that induce melancholic euphoria. You’ll hear it here first.
 
Hailing from Serbia where he left a confused havoc on the dancefloor for years, then left for Shanghai where he’s playing at it’s finest, Elevator, All, Heim and Alter parties.
 
The circus is in town, act accordingly.

Balearic soul, 4th world enthusiast and weird-wave seeker. Firmly rooted in cosmic, kraut, and tropic dance heritage, he cruises for any well-crafted and uncanny melodies that induces melancholic euphoria. Deep into Yugoslavian gems, and oddball from all around, he plays depending on the occasion but mostly with the same ingredients – tropic percussion, woodwind and brass, sleazy synths, atmospheric vocals, early and contemporary electronica.   

As part of Putnik crew in Belgrade, Serbia, he hosted and played with sonic wackos like Beau Wanzer, Aïsha Devi, André Pahl, Nightmares on Wax, Vladimir Ivković. For the last 5 years he is based in Shanghai and he hosted yearly event Orthodox Tempo in club All.

宀 is a music venue in the very heart of Hong Kong focused on bringing people together through carefully selected electronic music acts and cultural activities. The 100-capacity venue will bring a roster of leading international performers while nurturing local and regional talent.

宀 is the Chinese Radical 40 with a different pronunciation according countries. It has no literal meaning but can be likened to a roof or shelter. This is a place where you can express yourself freely. This place is for dancing. This is a place to learn. This is safe space where you will not be harassed, discriminated, criticised or harmed emotionally or physically. This is a place where all Races, Genders and Sexual identities are welcome. To safeguard this vision, there will be a no-photo policy applied inside the club.

宀 has been imagined by a group of music and audiophile enthusiasts who have chosen a Funktion One soundsystem in a room carefully engineered by one of the region's leading experts in acoustics.

「宀」是一個位於香港中心地帶的全新音樂場地，宗旨在於希望能夠透過精心挑選的電子音樂以及其他文化藝術活動，將人們聚集起來。這個能夠容納100人左右的場地，不只將帶來國際型的表演者，也將會成為亞太區、本地菁英的培育地。

「宀」這個中文字的部首在不同國家有不同的發音，在字形上像是一個屋頂、一個藏身處。這是一個你/妳可以自在表現自己的地方。這是一個你/妳可以盡情跳舞的地方。這是一個你/妳可以找尋人生的地方。這是一個歡迎所有種族、性別、性傾向認同的地方。為了保護這樣的宗旨，在這裡禁止所有拍照攝影的行為。

「宀」的靈感啟發是來自於一群熱愛音樂及音響系統的同好，也因此他們選擇了Funktion One音響，並精準的由香港一位傳音效果專家特別為這個場地量身訂製調整而成。
