If you've followed China's underground scene long enough, you probably remember 3ASiC & LJC's (@viasorifer) collaboration Yong (泳) on Vibe Digital.
Six years later, Yong has become a staple of China's dance music scene, while both 3ASiC and LJC have gained support from underground icons like Plastician, Mumdance, Martyn, and Jacques Greene. After a long pause and a few solo releases from both artists, 3ASiC & LJC reunite on inexist.club with their new EP Lost / Echo.
The lead track, Lost, effortlessly blends the uplifting vibes of modern Trance with Breakbeat Garage. Imagine the 2005 FWD sound getting repurposed for Creamfields main stage—no less, no more.
Meanwhile, Echo brings Grime / Wave sounds back to their heyday, with icey synth melodies roaring above the Grime bassline, echoing Joker's Kapsize swag.
如果你在近些年关注过中国的地下音乐场景,那你一定对 3ASiC 和 LJC 在 Vibe Digital 上发布的合作曲《泳》(Yong)印象深刻。
六年以来,《泳》早已成为中国乃至全球 Wave 场景的代表作,而 3ASiC 和 LJC 也分别发布了多张令人瞩目的作品,获得了 Plastician、Martyn、Mumdance 和 Jacques Greene 等音乐界传奇人物的支持。经过一段时间的沉寂,两位终于重拾合作,携手在 inexist.club 发布了全新EP《Lost / Echo》。
主打曲《Lost》毫不费力地将现代 Trance 的磅礴气质与 Breakbeat Garage 相融合。试想将 2005 年 FWD 的声音搬上 Creamfields 主舞台,略带 Swing 的 Garage 律动配上能让舞池中所有人举起双手的旋律——恰到好处,不多也不少!而在 B 面曲《Echo》中,二位游走于 Wave 和 Grime 之间,几乎完全在 Wave 的框架内重现了黄金时代 Grime 的风貌。
