“Effortless soulful grooves…smoky, eyes-closed goodness.” – Juno Plus
“Henry Wu is a name you should know.” – Clash Music
Eclectic electric. Smooth as spring.
It’s the Year of the Monkey and the Wooozy clan are kicking off this year’s monkey business with a potpourri of soul, jazz, breakbeat and silky melodic house from the mind of rising South London star Henry Wu.
Winter will be behind us, and we’re going for some rich, dreamy spring vibes. He’ll be playing April 1 at Dada, Beijing and April 2 at the Shelter in Shanghai.
Expect head-nodding, soul-drenched, blissed-out grooves stacked together with artful basslines and graceful house rhythms.
Henry Wu has been rightly labelled as one of the most exciting emerging producers this year. He’s part of the jam-hot 22a collective based in London, which Clash Music called “one of the labels that defined 2015”, putting out “dexterous, subtly intriguing music.”
Refusing to be categorized into any genre (but with a penchant for soul and jazz), Wu breaks all the rules when it comes to production and musicianship. 2015 saw his sound being championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, LeFtO, Jimpster, Detroit Swindle, Osunlade, IG Culture and Toddla T to name a few. The latest addition to the infamous Co-Op family, Wu is undoubtedly carrying the torch for soul music coming out of the UK.
Henry has also made serious dents in club-land within a very short space of time- from his sellout London residency to key club and festival shows in Germany, Holland, Scandinavia, Belgium, France and beyond. He’s also gearing up for extensive Australian, New Zealand and Asia tours in early 2016.
Drawing from different ends of the musical spectrum, his diversity on record is also apparent in his DJ sets, where he deftly speeds up and down to deliver his sound knowledge of funk and jazz, to more contemporary house stylings. Also an experienced musician, Wu’s productions have an indescribable live element, a rawness which can’t be emulated.
On support duty, we’ve got Wooozy regulars Knopha and Sleepless, as well as Daily Vinyl co-founder ollo-MAM in Shanghai, and soul/jazz archivist Watermelon, J.R.G, Zhiqi and Darcy in Beijing.

“不费吹灰之力就可以享受的灵魂律动，闭上眼睛慢慢欣赏的美妙音符。” —— Juno Plus
“ 你应该知道Henry Wu.” – Clash Music
多姿多彩的春天来了！
猴年伊始，无解电场请到了正在冉冉升起的南伦敦音乐之星—— Henry Wu, 让他用结合了Soul, Jazz，Breatbeat ，美妙旋律和House律动的音乐，拉开这一年的序幕。
在4月1日的北京Dada， 4月2日的上海The Shelter，Henry Wu会为我们带来醇厚而又梦幻的春天气息 ！
届时请期待让你忍不住摇头晃脑，心花怒放，感动不已的律动和低音，以及优雅的House节拍！
Henry Wu毫无疑问是本年度最令人惊喜的新晋制作人之一，他所属的南伦敦音乐团体22a被权威音乐杂志《Clash》誉为是“为2015年下了定义的厂牌之一。带来了令人拍案叫绝又出人意表的音乐作品。“
Henry Wu的音乐从来都不能从常规的风格角度来理解（当然Soul和Jazz是其中最大的影响。）他打破了许多音乐的常规界限，并发出了自己的声音。包括Gilles Peterson，LeFtO, Jimpster，Detroit Swindle，Osunlade，IG Culture 和Toddla T都会在自己的DJ Set中选用Henry Wu的曲子。而在最近加入了著名的Co-Op之后，他无疑也是接过了在英国传播灵魂音乐的火把。
除了出众的音乐作品之外，Henry Wu的演出也是深受好评，尽管他开始发表作品的时间并不长，但是他在伦敦俱乐部的演出经常都是一票难求，而来自于德国，荷兰，北欧，以及比利时和法国的演出推广人也都会邀请他去演出。到了2016年，踌躇满志的Henry Wu则会首次来到澳洲，新西兰以及亚洲地区进行演出！
和他多姿多彩的音乐创作一样，Henry Wu的DJ演出也同样是结合了多方的音乐影响，充分显示了他对Funk和Soul类型音乐的深入理解，以及对更当代一些House节拍的熟练把握。另外，由于Henry Wu本身就是经验丰富的乐手出身，他的DJ现场演出总有一种难以名状的现场感，也正是这种略带粗糙的感觉才使得他的风格如此独树一帜。
值得一提的是，无解在猴年的第一场演出中，特别请到了三位全新的嘉宾登场。在4月1日在北京Dada的演出中，北京资深的唱片收藏家Watermelon会和在燃音乐厂牌下发表了一张出色EP的J.R.G一起和无解的好朋友Zhiqi和Darcy组成北京的嘉宾阵容。而在之后一天于上海The Shelter的演出中，不仅来自Daily Vinyl团队的ollo-MAM会献上她的无解电场首秀， 来自广州的Knopha，也会和无解电场自己的sleepless一起献上充满律动和韵味的灵魂舞曲。
从南伦敦到中国，到时请和我们一起享受这份难得的灵魂舞曲之旅。
