Let Go!

A Heavy Fever
A Strange Dream

A thing occurs to a man when held against his will
Memories of old abound 
Faces and places
Warm embraces

A cold winter
A hot summer

Silent walks
Hidden alcoves

Laughter of children from afar
Open joy

A Heavy Fever
A Strange Dream

Past Life

This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show features the collective, label, and creative agency @easternmargins, which was established five years ago by co-founders Lumi and Anthony Ko.

It began as a Lunar New Year party in London, and has evolved into one of the most prominent platforms for showcasing the sounds of the East and South-East Asian diaspora. In Lumi’s own words, it represents “music from the in-between place… from the margins.”

In 2020, Eastern Margins solidified itself as a label, releasing music from the likes of rapper ILL JAPONIA and Hong-Kong based artist QQBBG. 2021 saw the release of “Redline Legends”, a compilation featuring deconstructed club mutations from artists such as Shelhiel, Puppy Ri0t, and Jiafeng.

For this month’s episode, members Ar and Lumi have created a dynamic, high-energy mix including some early-day Eastern Margins classics, as well as a few tracks from nascent producers and pop-trance remixes. Eastern Margins will also be continuing its Road 2 Redline tour this fall, supported by Carhartt WIP. More info to come soon. As ever, the mix is accompanied by an interview, which provides insights into the work of Eastern Margins. Read the words at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music
