Shanghai-based producer and DJ Laughing Ears became known to us through her 'Metamorphosis' EP on the inimitable Chinabot, an imprint showcasing some of the most exciting Asian artists operating in the experimental electronic sphere.

She's carved out her own sonic niche, which sees her chopping and screwing footwork and dubstep-inspired beats with haunting atmospheres and layers of synthesis. Since then she's also landed on the likes of Infinite Machine for her debut LP 'Blood' before being snapped up by Untold's Hemlock Recordings for her latest EP, 'Losing Track': another deep dive into broken rhythms, bass experiments and eerie atmospheres.

Off the back of the release, we asked her to deliver a mix which gives you an introduction to the sounds that form the backbone of her DJ sets and her own productions.

The Iueke Show - 27 Octobre 2021

This show is dedicated to the pioneering women of electronic music featured in the highly recommended documentary SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS. The doc tells the stories of "women composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to completely change the way we produce and listen to music today." If you haven't had a chance yet, you should check out the film. Philipp not only screened it at this year's DAVE festival at the much-loved Thalia cinema, he also played a track by each of the film's protagonists on his radio show, and shared a few things about them in his rather scrappy English.

Glitch Caravan races across the digital desert — a high-speed collision of fractured beats, chopped percussion, and flickering brass motifs. Tribal rhythms meet machine errors in a wild sonic convoy that never stops moving. It’s tradition on warp drive, glitching forward without a map.
