UK-via-Nanjing producer/DJ/mixing engineer Dirty K is back, on a ten-city tour of China in support of his newest album, Xin Yi. This release came out on the UK label Eastern Margins this year. From Bandcamp: "信義 (Xin Yi) is the latest release from Dirty K’s East Asian Dance Music project, and serves as a companion to 妙義 (Myogi). Both albums continue the exploration and preservation of local underground club dance music in East Asia. 信義 (Xin Yi) takes the local rhythms explored on 妙義 (Myogi) further, officially defining them as 台客碎拍 (Taikebeat) - a dance music language born in Taiwan’s early‑2000s shake-head pubs and nightclub scenes. 台客碎拍 (Taikebeat) comes from real dance floors, not the internet, carrying the physical memory of local nightlife culture. From Taipei’s B1PUB to Taoyuan’s The Lion King Nightclub and No.6 (Kaohsiung), these spaces shaped a distinctive aesthetic: dense, fractured drum patterns, overloaded low frequencies, and the digital textures of the CD era." He's also a really good and HYPE DJ. Support from Vibekiller, Josie, and Sanchuan.
