🇻🇳 DimSumRecords Presents Nhà Hà Nội EP by Trà Đá Connection. 🇻🇳

XIN CHÀO! Ahoy, We Find Ourselves In The City Of Hanoi, Vietnam. Trà Đá Connection Tells His Story. Via 4 Tracks. Exploring Local Viet Sounds. Infused With Those UKG & Housey Flavas. Together As Scrumptious As A Bowl Of Pho. The Energy & His Experience Encapsulated. 3 Years Deep. “Trà Đá” translated to Vietnamese Iced Tea. A Medium of Robin, making close friends with locals (including dancers in the vids) and a symbol of “immersion to the culture” The Beautiful Side Outside The Zone Of Comfort.

As Mr Anthony Bourdain once said “Vietnam, it grabs you and doesn’t let you go. Once You Love It, You Love It Forever” We Hope this EP shows that. Big love.

Track: 173 Hoàng Hoa Thám
173 HHT is the lane I’ve been living on since the first day I arrived in Vietnam, it’s been 3 years now.  I’m at the heart of what I like to call the “Ba Dinh Labyrinth”. Ba Dinh is the name of the district and it has some of the oldest and narrowest alleys in all of Hanoi. It’s like a jungle made out of cables, hidden lakes, secret passages. For this track - I used a Buddhist prayer I recorded in the temple next to my house

I Want You

Bordeaux-based, Australian artist, Mark Gage, is no newcomer to the scene. His now defunct band, Foreign/National, saw widespread acclaim from Sydney to LA, São Paulo to London, racking up millions of streams online and sporting international touring dates alongside King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Now he places his new project, Hans Handsome, front and centre with ‘Handcuffed’ – a punchy, political banger.

‘Handcuffed’ begins with a blend of programmed, industrial percussion and organic drums. A saturated Moog synth holds down a metronomic, kraut-rock-esque bass groove, alongside the scratchy tone of a broken Telecaster. The drums open up momentarily, before baritone vocals enter, and the rhythm section tightens back up - relentlessly driving the song towards its climatic finale. 

Sonically, the song moves between post-punk, techno and kraut-rock, drawing inspiration from artists such as Kedr Livanskiy, Mt Kimbie, Neu and New Order. Lyrically, the track explores the 2015 European Migrant Crisis, and speaks of Gage’s frustration regarding the indifference and apathy with which western governments responded.

‘Handcuffed’ is the first single from the upcoming EP, ‘Feeding From The Trough’. It will be available worldwide on Friday, April 29th through Peak Life Records. EP release date TBC.
