From the "Bing Ji Ling and Alex from Tokyo present..."(wf-003) to be released on vinyl in stores worldwide on March 21st, 2016 through Complete USA.

The multi-talented musician/producer Bing Ji Ling (www.bingjiling.com/Tummy Touch Records/Ubiquity Records/Lovemonk Records/Claremont 56) and DJ Alex from Tokyo (Tokyo Black Star)are very excited to share with you here as world famous' 2nd release(Bing Ji Ling and Alex from Tokyo present...(wf-003))a brand new, collaborative track “Not My Day”, that encapsulates their experience in New York, as well as their friendship. It’s been a few years in the making, but well worth the wait! Alex and Bing moved to New York around the same time, and met in a bar (filled with Loft heads) after one of David Mancuso’s Loft parties.  Bing recognized Alex’s voice from his weekly Shibuya FM radio show in Tokyo, and went up to introduce himself, being a fan. Turns out, they have many friends in common in New York, Tokyo, and beyond. They were instant friends; family. The track came out of several listening sessions from Bing’s basement studio in the East Village, where Alex shared some tracks he’d be digging, across a wide range of genres, eras, tempos, etc.. Everything was very easy, very natural…Back in Tokyo Alex and Isao bring their club vibe and remix the funky and groovy “Not My Day” into a magnifique electronic deep house anthem!

On the flip is Bing’s version of Lil Louis’ club classic “Lonely People” (selected by Gilles Peterson as one of his tracks of the year for his Worldwide Awards 2015) Alex has been playing non stop, providing along here his own DJ friendly Tokyo Black Star retouch club version. Bing’s version was originally recorded for his covers album called “Sunshine For Your Mind” that was first released in Japan on the label Rush Production. This album came about, after years of playing solo/acoustic covers with a looping pedal in Japan. Bing has since performed the song live in New York, London, and at Croatia’s Garden Festival with rave reviews! 

Bing Ji Ling and Alex now live just minutes from each other in New York City as well as the Catskills, and enjoy frequent meals, music and mountains. We hope you enjoy…Happy Spring!

“There’s a place at Cap Negret in Ibiza called Hostal La Torre. 3 kilometres from San Antonio but a world of difference. It’s not at all commercial, they play really balearic music, serve simple Spanish food and have a perfect sunset. “La Torre” is my impression of the overall vibe...”

Monkey Butter: My little tribute to the late great Frankie Knuckles who turned me on to house music and once emailed me out of the blue to say he liked a track I had recently released,
always encouraging, positive and loving.

“....“Sunburn” is all about that moment when you decide to take control of your life and decide to live in a place that makes you happy rather than where you thought you needed to live for your work”

SUNBURN CLIP

Ten Thousand Things is a description of the universe made up from the 5 elements. It set me thinking... music is a whole universe to me and there seems to also be 5 elements involved. Voice, rhythm, melody, texture and emotion...

I always preferred Tonto to The Lone Ranger, maybe he chewed peyote...

What happens when you take some mongolian throat singing, mix it with some old school hip hop beats and mash the whole thing through the filters on a moog.
