No more dystopias, please. The end of the world has been a prevailing theme of so much club music in recent years. On GLOBAL METANOIA, 10 artists choose instead to explore how an injection of hope might lead to something far more radical. From Beatrix Weapons’ cathartic mashing together of IDM, industrial, and breakcore, to SUTA’s bubbling experimental pop, to Die In
Polar’s vocalising over a pounding high-speed tresillo, the producers featured here not only push club music deep into adventurous new terrains, but manage to do so with a genuine smile.


Based in Guangzhou, aDeAD is the co-founder of underground party organization PAAK and holds multiple identities: music producer, designer, music critic, and video creator. In their performances they draw from a variety of dance music styles, breaking boundaries and honing a personal sound and aesthetic which has emotional violence at its core. aDeAD's new club music sound is expressed through future tribal rhythms, high speed impact, and unpredictability. They have released on Genome 6.66Mbp, Jyugam, Daftpop, and Gully Riddim, appeared on Shanghai Community Radio, Cloak, Radio80K in Munich, and Rainy City Radio in the UK, and have made mixtapes for Baihui, GNG, Jerome Mixfile, HKCR, and more.

PREMIERE: aDeAD - Amen Taiko [POSTWORLD]

One hour, fifty tracks from one of China's underground sharpest.⁠
⁠
This programme comprises Side A and Side B, reflecting their triple identity. Side A, titled ‘AURE: ADEAD U RUIN EVERYTHING’, features a reworked version of their 2022 DJ set from China's legendary Club Galame, blended with newly sourced ‘destructive’ tracks from across the globe. This mix serves as an outpouring of their most vulnerable and powerless selves, offering a defiantly negative rebellion against the world.

ADEAD are pioneers of emo bass, employing apocalyptic deconstruction techniques to subvert club music and its subgenres. They aim to spearhead its reinvention. Hailing from Guangdong Province, they are among the region's most prolific producers and DJs, having released music on labels such as @bio-future-lab, @postworldmusic, @noctm, @absurd-creation, @jyugamlabel, Daftpop Sounds, @zaaang_glassbystander, @doubletakerecords and @seippelabel.

Side B coming next Saturday.

Asian Archive Mix 0003, Side A: ADEAD

For Issue 0003, Side B, Little DD and 阿帶 explore rhythm futurism in depth.

'Break the grid.' This is the quiet motto behind this B-side, and it is a clear illustration of their method. Rather than building tension in a linear fashion, they follow the swing, with each shuffle, off-beat accent and idea pulling the next into place until a new geometry emerges.

This B-side is a dialogue between ADEAD's other aliases — little DD and 阿帶 — each offering a different perspective on the same obsession. Together, they transcend 4/4 orthodoxy to create something more human: broken beats, broken pressures, pocketed grooves and syncopations that are as thoughtful as they are rhythmic.

It’s music for the mind and body: easy to dance to and impossible to zone out to. It's a reminder that in a world flattened by the grid, we need more groove and swing.
