Lao Chi (aka Lix Method) is first and foremost a bedroom turntablist, and a vinyl enthusiast and collector.  He is secondly an intimate-venue/crowd DJ.

Most proficient with 3-turntable setups and particularly fond of Digital Vinyl Systems (DVS) such as Traktor Scratch and Serato; he does not underestimate the prevalence of the CDJ and has learned to adapt.  

Lao Chi's ultimate goal is to keep perfecting his own personal take on the art of audio montage; by juxtaposing and mixing elements of several diverse records together, weaving them into intricate and extended sonic tapestries driven by dynamism and flow, and characterized by strong elements of structure which allow for the listener/dancer to experience a unique/unforgettable journey, ideally without having to sacrifice the subversive joys of transitioning between different genres and alternating energies and moods. 

He sees this creative (and recreative) process of consistent propulsion towards unattainable perfection as ongoing, evolutionary and never-ending, and as an end in itself.  

Lao Chi is also in love with hip-hop and has been, through the years, influenced by a variety of artists ranging from Nine Inch Nails to Aphex Twin, via Meat Beat Manifesto.

BIO:
Beyond The Struttopshere is a sonic collaboration between two DJs channelling their considerable musical production experience and boundless love of cosmic chugging dark disco. Their debut EP ‘New Frontier’ was released on Discolypso Recordings in 2020 and found much acclaim among Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston’s A Love From Outer Space online fraternity, also appearing on Juan Mclean’s (DFA Records) contribution to Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Space mix series. This propelled the duo to new heights, leading to highly lauded releases on esteemed labels such as Mélopée Records, Astrolead Recordings, Discolypso, In Dark We Trust, Emerald & Doreen and X-PRESSINGS, and DJ gigs at Glastonbury’s Rabbit Hole, Secret Garden Party, Noisily Festival and Berlin’s infamous KitKat Club among many others. Beyond The Struttosphere’s music is now making sonic reverberations around the globe, hitting the dancefloors of Burning Man, House of Yes NYC, ADE, Fusion Festival, Sisyphos Berlin, and notching up remixes from notable legends of the scene including Shubostar, Rebolledo, Rigopolar, Tegel Boys, Vongold, Badknife, James Rod, Julian Sanza, Roliva, K-Effect and Mufti. The cosmonauts are frequently immersed in the studio, with live guitar now a mainstay of their productions. Their trademark sound combines fat chugging basslines with reverbed guitar riffs, syncopated arpeggiators, cosmic synths, vintage vocal samples, Italo drum fills and psychedelic 303 sequences. Check out their guest mixes on Gouranga, Mélopée, SXDNS, In Dark We Trust, Counterrasim and Something Spaecial and catch them DJ’ing this summer on the UK festival circuit. Strap in for an interstellar journey Beyond The Struttosphere!
