这个周六，我们将继续分享音乐，和办了12次的独角猫攻击！来一场Farewell Party。
This Saturday, we will continue to share music, and have a Farewell Party with Unicat Attack! Vol.13.
一切的开始总有一天会结束，独角猫攻击！说再见的日子已经到来。我们不会说永远，但现在，在北京，是时候结束我们的混合DJ/现场设置磁带捣碎派对的小传奇了，这些派对已经在整个城市的各个地方进行，你可能会想到。因此，在6月17日，我们邀请您参加Unicat的最后一次庆祝活动，并且恰如其分地，我们将以时尚的方式离开，14组DJ和现场表演者分布在鼓楼工厂的两层楼。当然，我们还有一盘录音带，事实上，我们将有两盘：独角兽攻击!vol.13和一大堆艺术家加上一个BYOV(带你自己的黑胶)的现场录音，由DJ Old Pig，ADDJ，和Wild Wata主办的系列演出在一楼。与此同时，在二楼，你可以放松地观看Lastboss、Ninjablade、Key Minor、Bass Ventura Pitch detecve、Ivy Wong、DJ H.Y.B、thruouttin、Looooooongish Cat、4 Channels Club、草莓爸爸和Synovak的表演。哦，我们说过这个活动是免费的吗？是的，这一切都是送给北京这座城市的礼物，也是送给音乐爱好者和派对动物的礼物，是他们让独角猫焕发了生机。在我们计划的一整天的派对中，会有一些惊喜和曲折，所以请放心，这最后的活动将是一个难忘的活动。
Everything that begins must one day end, and the day has come for Unicat Attack! to say adios. We won’t say forever, but for now, in Beijing, it’s time to conclude our little saga of hybrid DJ/live set tape mashing parties that have gone down all over the city in all kinds of places you might next expect. So on June 17 we invite you to one last celebration of the Unicat, and fittingly we’re going out in style, with 14+ DJs and live performers spread across two floors of The Factory on Gulou Dong. Of course we’ve got one more tape, in fact we’re going to have two: Unicat Attack! Vol.13 featuring a ton of artists plus a live taping of a BYOV (Bring Your Own Vinyl) back to back session led by DJ Old Pig, ADDJ, and Wild Wata on the first floor. Meanwhile on the second floor you’ll be able to get loose to sets from Lastboss, Ninjablade, Key Minor, Bass Ventura Pitch Detectuve, Ivy Wong, DJ H.Y.B, thruoutin, Looooooongish Cat, 4 Channels Club, Strawberry Papa, and Synovak. Oh, did we mention the event is free? Yep all of this is a a gift to the city of Beijing and the music lovers and party animals that have brought the Unicat to life. They’ll be some surprises and twists throughout the day long party we’ve got planned, so rest assured this last event will be one to remember.
独角兽攻击!第13卷磁带将在活动中作为按需发行的印刷品提供:我们将在那里为您配音磁带。这张史诗般的独角猫明星的过去，现在和未来的集合包括DJ Doom, Lastboss, Bass Ventura, Pitch Detective, 4 Channels Club, DJ Boring, Baby Cuts, DJ H.Y.B, Loooooongish Cat, Ninja Blade和thruoutin，而磁带本身也装饰着同样惊人的迷幻僵尸猫海报，由北京艺术家Maria创作。赶紧开始预售吧，否则你就有可能买不到全套Unicat磁带(当然，你的生活也会被彻底毁了)。
The Unicat Attack! Vol. 13 tape will be available at the event as a print on demand release: we will quite literally dub the tape there and then for you. This epic collection of Unicat stars past, present, and future includes DJ Doom, Lastboss , Bass Ventura, Pitch Detective, 4 Channels Club, DJ Boring, Baby Cuts, DJ H.Y.B, Loooooongish Cat, Ninja Blade, and thruoutin, whilst the tape itself is adorned with the same amazing psychedelic zombiecat on the poster by Beijing based artist Maria. Get on the presale for that radness or else you’ll run the risk of not having the complete set of Unicat tapes (and your life would of course be totally ruined).
第二盘在我们成为之前提到的现场混音带的那天播放:来自独角猫和BYOV的礼物，来自BYOV社区的十位忠实的dj将旋转他们选择的黑胶唱片，每个人两首曲目，背靠背。这个疯狂的黑胶大熔炉将在现场使用Daftpop Sounds模拟磁带机录制并混合到卡带中，然后在你眼前复制，这样你就可以带着一小段时间离开，封面上有一些时髦的街头艺术。你手里拿着一点老派的B-boy文化，只有一次的表演和神器。这将是一个限量版，只有一次的交易，所以在你可以的时候开始预售这个小宝石。
The second tape kicking around on the day we be the afore mentioned live mix tape: a gift from Unicat and BYOV where ten stalwart DJs from the BYOV community will spin their choicest vinyl, two tracks each, back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back. This melting pot of vinyl madness will be recorded and mixed to cassette on the spot using Daftpop Sounds analog tape machines, and then duplicated before your very eyes so you can walk away with a a little moment of the session, adored with some dope stylin’ street art on the cover. A bit of old-school B-boy culture in your hand, a one time only performance and artifact. This will be a limited edition one time only kind of deal, so get on the presale for this little gem while you can.
就这么定了，6月17日，告别独角猫，但是，嘿：不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。说真的，我们在混乱的疫情中举办了13场以独角兽猫和荒诞电子音乐为主题的派对，在你永远想象不到这种事情发生的地方。你怎么能不嘲笑这种想法呢?所以，来吧，微笑，大笑，喝酒，再一次与独角猫共舞，让我们留下一段值得保留的记忆。
Sp that’s the deal, June 17, the farewell to the Unicat, but hey: don’t cry that it’s over, smile that it happened. Seriously, we threw 13 parties through the chaos of the pandemic themed around Unicorn Cats and tapes of absurdist electronic music, in places where you would never imagine such a thing to happen. How can you not smirk at the very notion of that? So come smile, laugh, drink, and dance with the Unicat one more time and let’s make a memory worth holding on to.

BYOV (Bring Your Own Vinyl)
就把它当成黑胶迷们的开放麦克风吧。BYOV(自带黑胶)，北京的蜡上槽庆典，自2020年以来一直聚集着各种各样的唱片爱好者，当时北京最专注的三位黑胶dj (Wild Wata, Old Pig和ADDJ)聚在一起，想出了一个计划——一个全天的派对，任何有唱片的人都可以报名参加，登上甲板，在30分钟内随心所欲地旋转任何东西。在爱妮岛(BYOV三年多来的常客)举行的第一次活动之后，一个传奇诞生了。从那时起，BYOV吸引了来自中国各地的dj，并帮助发展了北京自己的黑胶社区;在爱妮岛(El Nido)的一个周日下午，许多北京夜总会的资深旋转爱好者第一次尝到了tech -12的味道。现在，BYOV即将在它的新家——北京最新、最伟大的混乱中心“工厂”开始一个新的阶段，欢迎所有经验丰富的15岁和25岁的老手、刮刮者、节拍杂耍者、崭露头角的mc、蜡新手以及任何只想跳舞或听音乐的人。
Think of it as an open mic for vinyl junkies. BYOV (Bring Your Own Vinyl), Beijing’s celebration of grooves on wax, has been bringing together record enthusiasts of all stripes since 2020, when three of Beijing’s most dedicated vinyl DJs (Wild Wata, Old Pig and ADDJ) got together and came up with a plan – an all-day party where anyone with records could sign up for a slot, get on the decks and spin anything they damn pleased for 30 minutes. After that first event at El Nido – BYOV’s regular home for more than three years – a legend was born. Since then, BYOV has drawn DJs from all over China and helped to grow Beijing’s own vinyl community; many a veteran spinner in BJ’s nightclub scene got their first taste on the Tech-12s during a Sunday afternoon at El Nido. Now about to begin a new phase at its new home, Beijing’s latest-and-greatest center of mayhem The Factory, BYOV welcomes all – seasoned veterans of the 1s-and-2s, scratchers, beat-jugglers, budding MCs, wax newbies and anyone who just wants to dance or listen.
