If you’re not already familiar with the work of the producer, visual artist and label boss, Lee is seen as a leading figure of electronic music in China.
And it’s easy to see why, with the artist embraced by a global audience. His music is an experimental mixture of such, blending Chinese traditional instruments with futuristic club music, trap or hip-hop.
Lee digs into his record collection of traditional Chinese music for a stunning one-hour mix. “This set includes some of my favourite Chinese hits,” Lee writes via email. “Including the best traditional drum players 朱啸林 (Zhu Xiao-Lin), 阎学敏 (Yim Hok-Man) and 吴顺喜 (Wu Shunxi), folk music from different regions of China and some westernised classical Chinese orchestra.”
He adds, “Also, singers from the socialist time in the 60s and 70s, and more recent pop music such as 林青霞’s (Brigitte Lin’s) hit song from the movie 东方不败 (Swordsman).”
