“The ‘thinkaboutit’ EP originated from a little studio setup from last summer in Ibiza. With an imaginative summer vibe in effect, the project draws inspiration from a retro pop era reminiscent of synth-driven sounds from the 80s.” ~ David Berrie.

Title: Mind Game
Record Label: @distrikt-sound
Cat.Number: DS008
Release Date: August 30th 2024
 
We are excited to launch the progressive side of DISTRIKT Sound with none other than our good friend Brian Cid. This two-track EP starts with "Mind Game," a deep musical journey centered around the sincere message of Brian’s good friend, Diego Dorothy. He expresses his new commitment to practicing daily meditation after feeling that, in his own words, "enough is enough”, as he no longer wishes to be trapped in a mind game. Brian explains: “When I received this message on the phone, I felt it needed to be shared with the world, so I decided to create an entire track around it. The haunting-style groove is built with Roland drum machines, accompanied by live electric guitar and Moog synthesizers, all written in a call-and-response style. This track is designed for a big indoor or outdoor space, catered to DISTRIKT Sounds.”

The EP continues with "Aladanza," a very energetic, uplifting minimal progressive track with a forward-moving funky groove. Its big bass lines and funky guitar riffs create an undeniable motion. It’s a big vibe-setter, designed to be played at peak moments. “I was inspired by the summers while living in Berlin, the festive emotions, and the dancing spirit. "Aladanza" means "to go dance."

Manifest.uk At Distrikt (11.09.24)

Distrikt—comprised of 宀 residents Jordy, Scott, and Justin—are undoubtedly making their mark in the city. In our opinion, they are Southeast Asia's newest aliens, sending signals across regional shores and bending the rules in their own way (as it should be!).

On their second-year anniversary night, they brought together a pairing of two familiar faces in the Asia region, both sharing a similar interest in running a record label, music with no boundaries, B-sides that could turn Hare Krishna into a bad boy, and finding witchcraft gems on YouTube.  
The results are in this recording—we’ll let the music speak for itself.

Archived at 宀 on June 22, 2024, using 2 Technics SL-1210M5G, 4 Pioneer CDJ 3000s, and an Allen & Heath Xone 96.

Enjoy the space ride!

DISTRIKT is a 501c3 Non-Profit music and arts organization, supporting an inclusive and diverse community of performers and artists through events, partnerships, community involvement, mentorship and relationship building.

宀 is a music venue in the very heart of Hong Kong focused on bringing people together through carefully selected electronic music acts and cultural activities. The 100-capacity venue will bring a roster of leading international performers while nurturing local and regional talent.

宀 (pronounced "mihn" is the Chinese Radical 40 with a different pronunciation according countries. It has no literal meaning but can be likened to a roof or shelter. This is a place where you can express yourself freely. This place is for dancing. This is a place to learn. This is safe space where you will not be harassed, discriminated, criticised or harmed emotionally or physically. This is a place where all Races, Genders and Sexual identities are welcome. To safeguard this vision, there will be a no-photo policy applied inside the club.

宀 has been imagined by a group of music and audiophile enthusiasts who have chosen a Funktion One soundsystem in a room carefully engineered by one of the region's leading experts in acoustics.

「宀」是一個位於香港中心地帶的全新音樂場地，宗旨在於希望能夠透過精心挑選的電子音樂以及其他文化藝術活動，將人們聚集起來。這個能夠容納100人左右的場地，不只將帶來國際型的表演者，也將會成為亞太區、本地菁英的培育地。

「宀」這個中文字的部首在不同國家有不同的發音，在字形上像是一個屋頂、一個藏身處。這是一個你/妳可以自在表現自己的地方。這是一個你/妳可以盡情跳舞的地方。這是一個你/妳可以找尋人生的地方。這是一個歡迎所有種族、性別、性傾向認同的地方。為了保護這樣的宗旨，在這裡禁止所有拍照攝影的行為。

「宀」的靈感啟發是來自於一群熱愛音樂及音響系統的同好，也因此他們選擇了Funktion One音響，並精準的由香港一位傳音效果專家特別為這個場地量身訂製調整而成。
