About 'Phantom Rhythm Remixed' (Out 6/25)

Beijing duo Gong Gong Gong 工工工’s raucous debut LP, 'Phantom Rhythm 幽靈節奏,' was recorded live in a room, on open-reel tape, with little more than vocalist and guitarist Tom Ng’s 60-year-old Italian pawn shop guitar and bassist Joshua Frank’s 1970s imitation P-bass. The minimalist group created a drummer-less sound that was more than the sum of its parts, inspired by back-porch blues, Sahelian guitar music, New York no-wave, Cantonese lion dance percussion, and, seemingly most incongruously, techno.
 
Electronic music and psychedelic rock might seem worlds apart. But Gong Gong Gong’s aggressively minimal instrumentation, exploration of locked-grooved repetition, and use of simple, undeniable melodic hooks combined to produce an unexpected aura of drum machines and sequencers with an excitable, human pulse. 
 
On 'Phantom Rhythm Remixed,' Gong Gong Gong bring to life a concept they’ve planned since the release of their acclaimed debut, curating their favourite China-connected electronic music producers to remix 'Phantom Rhythm' in its entirety. The globe-spanning collaboration features Yu Su (Vancouver/Kaifeng), Zaliva-D, Simon Frank, Howie Lee (Beijing), Mong Tong, Scattered Purgatory (Taipei), Knopha (Xiamen), Wu Zhuoling (Chengdu), Angel Wei (Copenhagen), and P.E. (Brooklyn).

'Phantom Rhythm Remixed' traces a common thread, organically expanding the palette of Gong Gong Gong into ambient club tracks, thumping dance music, cinematic soundscapes, and bit-crushed psych. With their ambitious assembly of producers from the global Chinese underground, the duo pursues their ultimate goal of building a cross-cultural scene that disregards genres and borders, creating a community unified by a sense of hybridity, experimentation, and fun. True to this concept, the LP will be released by Wharf Cat Records in collaboration with Beijing’s bié Records.
 
For fans of Gong Gong Gong, some of these names will be familiar; Danish-Chinese musician Angel Wei (First Hate) performs on 2020’s 'Rytme og Drone' tape, while P.E.’s Jonathan Schenke recorded and co-produced 'Phantom Rhythm.' Producer and DJ Yu Su operates between China and Canada; she and bassist Joshua Frank recently collaborated on a track for Su’s 2021 'Yellow River Blue' LP. And Simon Frank, who performs hardware synth music and DJs under his own name, is Joshua’s brother and bandmate in the duo Hot & Cold. 

The LP also features Howie Lee and Zaliva-D, two Beijing experimental electronic producers known for their idiosyncratic, off-kilter club music, while Taipei contingent Mong Tong and Scattered Purgatory bring in primal rhythms and elements of sample-based psychedelia and sci-fi soundtracks. Finally, Gong Gong Gong presents two renowned producers from cities non-Chinese audiences may not have on their radar: Xiamen’s Knopha, whose dubby grooves maintain a sense of constant evolution, and Chengdu’s Wu Zhuoling, whose take on 'Phantom Rhythm' standout “Wei Wei Wei” brings in the energy of high-tempo breakbeats.

Originally released on The Wurst Music Ever compilation (Wurst) and is on Andrew Weatherall's masterpiece compilation on Ministry of Sound.

Name In Lights - Ur Oskunni

Classic 90's house, techno & club cuts inspired by my years as a resident dj at the Queen club in Paris. From 1993-1995 I was a resident DJ there and it was pretty much at Queen that I cut my teeth as a dj. I was hired by none other than David Guetta who was the artistic director there at the time in addition to being a dj for some of the special events there. My nights consisted of 7-9 hour sets, (all vinyl of course!), totally up for it crowd, insane dancefloor energy, dj booth literally on the dancefloor (with no booth monitors for the first 6 months or so!) and loads of good music that's slipped through the cracks in the mp3/laptop era of dj'ng we're in now. It was also the birth of the whole 'French Touch' house scene and you'd see all the young producers out on the dancefloor soaking up the vibes.
I've recently been trying to archive lots of tapes & music from that era as I have tons of tapes from that time. Upon listening to lots of these tapes one thing was apparent...the level of dodgy mixing from all of us there was astonishing! But the music and energy were so good that mixing was always secondary to good track selection. So I felt like it was time do a nice mix of lots of the tracks that were actually being played in that era. Lots of the stuff on this mix is encoded from my original vinyl copies. After going through my records from that era it's truly astonishing the amount of music that isn't available as an mp3 and never will be. So I'd like to think of this as another mix in my 'archive' series. Hope you all enjoy it!

Mixed Live, one-take, no computer edits (other than attempting to normalize the sound, afraid it's a bit all over the place due to the original pressings wear & tear).

About Phantom Rhythm

Guitar-and-bass duo Gong Gong Gong charges out from Beijing’s underground scene with a distinct vision and uncompromising sense of purpose. The group unites musical cultures, drawing on inspirations as wide-ranging as Bo Diddley, Cantonese opera, West African desert blues, drone, and electronic music. 

Gong Gong Gong eschews traditional rock percussion, but on their debut LP, Phantom Rhythm 幽靈節奏, the locomotive chug of Tom Ng’s guitar combines with Joshua Frank’s thumping, harmonics-laden bass lines to conjure an aura of ghostly snare hits and timpani overtones. Over Frank’s enigmatic melodies, Ng sings in Cantonese, piecing together abstract tales of absurdity, doubt, desire, and lust. Synchronized to the point of near-telepathy, the band use their minimalistic tools and idiosyncratic playing style to challenge the notions of rock n’ roll and strip the form down to its bare essentials: rhythm, melody, and grit.

About Gong Gong Gong
 
Formed in 2015, the band’s earliest shows were in Beijing underpass tunnels and DIY spaces. Ng and Frank are both outsiders who call the city their home: Ng, who was born in Hong Kong, defiantly sings in his native tongue, while Frank, originally from Montreal, has lived in Beijing on and off since childhood. (He is the English translator of Ng’s lyrics, adding another layer to the duo’s close collaboration). The duo is set to follow up the release of the Siren 7" with the release of the Phantom Rhythm album in the Fall of 2019.

Produced & Mixed by Jonny Schenke. Recorded at Seaside Lounge and Mixed at Studio Windows. Mastered by Carl Saff.
