New Music 新唱片发行: Night Swimmer, CTAFAD, Sun Dawei, SHINNNN

Wuhan’s Night Swimmer - the underground electronic producer known for his rich tapestry of vaporware, psychedelia, new age, and world music returns with his latest deep dive - Xia Ye - released with Shy People. Pushing forward the artist’s fascination with ‘whimsical samples and animated analog synth sounds’ the LP finds solace within the intersection between the past and the future; between the spiritual and the commercial. Invoking a 80s Hong Kong soundtrack that has found its way into the humid jungles, it's a much more melodically driven and club friendly release, and simply put, a pleasure to get lost in. 

武汉的 Night Swimmer —— 这位地下电子制作人以他对蒸汽波、迷幻、new age 和世界音乐的丰富融合而闻名。这次 Night Swimmer 带着他最新的深度探索《Xia Ye》回归，专辑于 Shy People 厂牌发行。这张唱片推动了艺术家对 “灵动的采样和电子模拟音色”的迷恋，在过去和未来、精神和商业之间的交汇处得到慰藉。这张唱片让人想起八十年代的港片原声带，以自己的方式走向潮湿的密林，这是一份更多的旋律驱动的和适于俱乐部的发行，（或者）简单地说，是一种让人喜于迷失其中的乐趣。

The ever-prolific Sun Dawei, known to most as Sulumi, has been an active member of the electronic scene in China and Japan for over twenty years. He returns with two new releases - one under his latest moniker CTAFAD (‘carve the atoms from a diamond’) and new imprint GXSX - and one under his household name Sun Dawei. While the former focuses on the producer’s techno roots (and features a stellar remix from French duo Atomic Moog) the latter sees the artist in full-on ambient mode, weaving dense atmospheric soundscapes with more rhythmic maneuvers. 

多产的孙大为（被大多数人称为 Sulumi）已经在中国和日本的电子场景中活跃了 20 多年。他带着两张新专辑回来了—— 一张是以他最新的代号 CTAFAD（" carve the atoms from a diamond "）在新的厂牌 GXSX 发行的；另一张是以他的本名 Sun Dawei 发行的。前者专注于制作人的 Techno 根源（并有一曲法国二重奏 Atomic Moog 的出色 remix），后者则看到艺术家在完全的氛围模式下，用更多的节奏手法来编织密集的大气音景。

Dark industrial electronica form Beijing, SHINNNN is the moniker of veteran producer and promoter Wen Xin, of psytrance label Kunlun. While the warmer-hued vibes of that genre are nowhere to be found here, the producer’s latest, Borders, released with Dying Art Productions, offers plenty of sublime - just of a more twisted variety. Wrapping listeners into its abrasive, cold and obscure world, it’ll provide catharsis for those willing to charge headfirst into the mouth of madness. 

来自北京的黑暗工业电子乐，SHINNNN 是资深制作人和推广者文心的代号，来自 psytrance厂牌「崑崙KONRON」。虽然在这里找不到那个类型（psytrance）的温暖氛围，但这位制作人在垂死艺术发行的最新作品《Border》，提供了大量崇敬（的表达）——只是一种更加扭曲的形态。它将听众包裹在其粗糙、冷酷和晦涩的世界中，为那些愿意一头扎进疯狂之口的人提供宣泄的机会。
