Eating Music presents Drifting with Friends
Shanghai’s Eating Music, one of the electronic scene’s most exciting and rich labels, returns with the fourth annual compilation - Drifting with Friends – once again showcasing its deep roster of boundary-pushing artists - each looking to ‘transcend space and voice through music’. It’s a beautiful tapestry of sounds and tones - by far the label’s most cohesive and beguiling compilation - featuring some artists from not only China but across the globe, including South Korean producer Mogwaa, Los Angeles-based composer Kai Luen, as well as Tokyo producers Sauce 81 and RGL. Representing the Mainland are Gooooose, Laughing Ears, mindexxx, Voision Xi, and Knopha - each knocking it out of the park and providing some of 2022’s best standalone tracks thus far.

Bloodz Boi x Quit Life - 365
Chameleon rapper Bloodz Boi, borne out of Beijing’s underground hip-hop scene, returns with his latest collaboration - this time with experimental electronic duo Quit Life. With a knack for blurring the line trap, emo rap, and dancehall music, and known for his fragile bleeding heart almost tearful delivery, Blood Boi’s vocals are a perfect match for the ethereal ambient-laced sonic soundscapes concocted by the Swedish duo - both in its cohesiveness and its off-the-cusp sentimentality. A woozy mix Sigur Ros, Elliott Smith and Ben Gibbard thrown into the deep end of cloud rap, it finds the artist hitting new heights.
多变的说唱歌手血男孩来自北京的地下嘻哈现场,他带着最新的合作回来了——这一次是与实验性的电子双人组 Quit Life一起。血男孩擅长模糊 trap 、emo rap 和舞厅音乐的边界,以其脆弱的、滴血的内心,几乎是含泪的声音而闻名,他的歌声与瑞典二人组合炮制的空灵的氛围音效完美契合——无论是其中的凝集力还是远离主流的感伤。将 Sigur Ros、Elliott Smith 和 Ben Gibbard 三人混制加入 cloud rap 的最深处,这位艺术家达到了新的高度。

Diluted Virtual Circuit - TINA?
There’s no one quite like Beijing based alternative hip-hop artist Diluted Virtual Circuit out there. Combining esoteric and cerebral electronica with reflective bedroom hip-hop, with a simmering of R&B and neo-soul, DVC doesn’t seem to be clamouring for the same highs most rappers shoot for in this day and age, instead, following his own off-kilter muse. With a keen ear for hypnotic beats full of imagination and dreamlike veneer and a penchant for slow-burning verses that drift between the ‘intersections of emotional capitalism, internet warfare, pop culture and our collective death drive’, DVC joins the ranks of hip-hop geeks injecting the genre with a breath of fresh air.
没有人像北京的另类嘻哈艺术家 Diluted Virtual Circuit 那般。DVC 将深奥的理智的电子乐与反思性的卧室嘻哈结合起来,并加入了 R&B 和 neo-soul 元素,DVC 似乎并不像这个时代的大多数说唱歌手那样追求高潮,而是追随他自己非主流的缪斯。DVC 对充满想象力的催眠般节拍有着敏锐的嗅觉,乐于让缓慢点燃的 verse 在 "情感资本主义、互联网战争、流行文化和我们的集体死亡驱动力的交汇点 "之间漂浮,DVC加入了嘻哈怪人的行列,为这个流派注入了新鲜空气。
