While many of the new generation of DJs lean toward faster BPMs and high-energy dancefloor sounds, @eva1nsssssss takes a different path—delving deep into the heavy, 70 BPM currents of dubstep for her own free-flowing explorations.

Based in Shanghai, eva1nsss—also known as Nuòzi—is captivated by the boundless possibilities of bass music. From drifting through clubs in her early days to her current sonic experiments, she has always treated low frequencies as her foundation—layering them with playful drums, fractured vocals, and unpredictable textures. The result: immersive, experimental soundscapes that are constantly evolving.

For this exclusive Asian Archive Mix, she reveals her truest self, selecting her favorite bass cuts and weaving in raw Jamaican patois to guide listeners into a deep, resonant world of sound.

Asian Archive Mix 0001: eva1nsss

Since 2019, @chuan_p been a staple of Shanghai booths—sets with Rhyw, Deniro, Objekt, CCL, Le Motel—earning a rep for deep selections and tight booth control. He runs BAIHUI Studio and speaks PA/DJ rigs fluently.

Musical mother tongue: modern club music shaped by African-American lineages + Jamaican sound system pressure—soul/funk & disco/house foundations, dub space, detours into jungle/footwork. Heavy sound design meets high-tech propulsion, softened by humor and a pop glint—his own “well-crafted cute music.”

Recent: a 3024 release with 3ASiC (Oct 2024), co-signed by Jacques Greene, object blue, Akanbi. He also hosts Flowstate on BAIHUI Radio.

This mix blends longtime faves with new joints from friends—recorded when he’s not playing Silksong.

Asian Archive Mix 0002: chuan

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.

Asian Archive Mix 0003, Side B: little DD & 阿帶

@444-607214408 's new mix is a meditation on facing death—heavy on the bass, breath held, and unflinchingly intimate.

To the casual observer, he may appear to be a heavy hitter seeking shock value. Wrong. Specialising in emotive, hard-hitting bass music, he has spent years refining a language in which noise, sustained vibration and silence are as expressive as drums. At Dawless Teahouse, he explores audiovisual and interactive practice, and with P.J.E.T., he contributes to radio and offline gatherings. His recorded work shows range: the conceptual album El Poema Inacabado (Genome6.66Mbp), the EP Oxygen Activation (Shy People), the FarEastScala EP 战歌, and appearances on compilations from Absurd Trax, C.T.M. and SAFEROOM.

As the title suggests, this session focuses on life and death: an hour of intense emotion and lingering resonance, marked by grief yet illuminated by determination. It was forged amid personal upheaval: the pain of a loved one’s impending death, isolation and immovable walls. Words failed, but sound didn’t. Here, serrated textures meet a tectonic low end, drones blur into a drumless trance and eruptions of distortion give way to a fragile afterglow. The flow is less about genre than revelation: each transition a small reckoning; each motif a pulse of memory.

Many of the tunes are unreleased — even unnamed. Good luck with the IDs.

Asian Archive Mix 04: 444theGod

The pulsing bassline of 3ASiC in 2025.

In AAMiX ISSUE 05, he opens with a selection of his own tracks — some released, others still unreleased — before delving into the music that has been on heavy rotation in his headphones lately: bass-heavy tracks for driving, unwinding, and late-night serenity. You won't hear many of these tracks at peak time, and they're not all "brand new", but together they perfectly capture his current sound.

Spanning 45 minutes, the set is modern and physical, featuring bass, drum and bass, EDM and UK garage, all stitched together with 3ASiC’s clean, hard swing — light where it breathes and focused when the groove tightens.

Renowned for his fusion of art and technology, 3ASiC is a distinctive voice in China's electronic music scene, moving seamlessly between the genres of club, ambient, hip-hop, and pop. He has performed at ADE, Keep Hush, Rinse FM, Red Light Radio and NTS Radio, and has been featured in i-D, Dummy Magazine and Beatport for his innovative sound.

Asian Archive Mix 05: 3ASiC

A rare mix from a notoriously absent presence.⁠

Virtual 42 is always offline. Years spent digging for tracks alone in a small town eradicated any desire to 'please the dance floor'. Instead, he learned to weaponise that isolation, hurling unprocessed, neurotic sounds straight at the speakers and letting chaos do the world-building.

This mix is the culmination of his year-long journey as a DJ and a tribute to the raw, violent energy of the golden era of the deconstructed club. It reaches back to a time before the term existed, when the most adventurous selectors were freely stitching together sounds that were never meant to coexist. Virtual 42 throws everything into the crossfire: unapologetically 'cheesy' hip-hop and EDM, pressure from the lento violento, trap, hard drum, bubbling house, cumbia, and percussive eruptions from the Global South, all colliding in unpredictable ways.

Spanning just over an hour, the set feels less like a journey and more like being dropped mid-scene into a gritty, unstable 2010s NYC club full of possibility. It's another fragment from his ongoing mental labyrinth — a place where mixes on online radio blur into cryptic OwOs Radio transmissions and stray SoundCloud uploads, leaving you uncertain whether you're listening to a DJ set or an invasive thought.
