[:en]Hey Fam, April’s going to be LITTTTTT…
Nah, April is going to be liminal and mind-bending. Maybe even a little notorious.
We here at Wooozy and Genome are hugely excited to partner up for four parties in April, featuring some of our favourite young sonic innovators of this day and age.
First up, Shanghai and Beijing dates forWhy Be and Rui Ho:two young producers grafting and crafting some of the most emotive club music out there today. Skittering percussion, unexpected breaks and a careful bricolage of visceral textures are in order.
Dada Shanghai on Sunday, April 2withScintii, Kilo Vee, Hyph11e ,16666and Sleepless. Dada Beijing on Monday, April 3withShackup, Kilo Vee,Scintiiand 16666.It’s over the Qingming break, so Monday and Tuesday are public holidays!
Next, a very special debut China tour for Gaika, the London-based producer who plays powerful, adventurous dancehall – electronic gospel music for the church of technology. Gaika is political, observant, relevant, but also gloriously danceable. He’s been called “electronic music’s answer to Basquiat”, and like Jean-Michel, his work is enigmatic. Whip-smart. Expansively intelligent. Proto-legendary.
Dada Shanghai on Saturday, 15th April withDownstate, Miraisenshi, Kilo Vee, 16666, Riddim Ryder and Sleepless.Dada Beijing on Sunday, 16th April with BloodzBoi and Puzzy Stack.80 RMB tickets for all shows.
Why Be
Why Be is a Korean-born, Danish-raised, and Berlin and Copenhagen-based producer and DJ. In 2016, Why Be soundtracked filmmaker Stephanie Comilang’s“sci-fi documentary”, on Filipina migrant workers in Hong Kong. He also teamed up with producers ElysiaCrampton,ChinoAmobi, Lexxi&Rabit on the album Demon City, which Pitchfork described as “a wonder of concision”. “Demon City creates a special extra-terrestrial zone,” it said in a review. “A place in the world where difference is celebrated, and healing and growth are givens.”
Rui Ho
Rui Ho is a non-binary music producer/DJ from China who’s spent the last few years studying and making music in Paris, France. Now based in Berlin, their music sits at the enigmatic borderland between modern electronic club music and a traditional Chinese music soundscape.Their music often focuses on digital identity, and the masks and conversations we undertake as our online selves.
A resident of the Berlin Community Radio’s incubator program, Rui Ho’s first single, the fascinating ‘Ru Meng Ling’, was released via Genome6.66Mbpin late 2016, with a premiere feature on Vice’s Thump.Their debut EP is due April 2017.
Gaika
Gaika refers to his blend of dancehall, reggae, and grime as “ghettofuturism,” the soundtrack of a gothic black utopia.
That ‘utopia’ is London, and his music is an amalgam of his travels through the many global currents of the city today, weaving dark yet melodic, experimental yet catchy.
His 2016 release SECURITY, on Mixpak,was a high-concept lowdown on the city, which Pitchfork described as “the essential mode of action to confront a fucked-up world.”November 2016 saw the release of Spaghetto, as much a visceral political statement as a collection of tunes, and his first release on the influential Warp Records.

无解电场 X Genome 二0一七年四月二连击
Why Be & Rui Ho , Gaika
无解电场非常荣幸地宣布，我们会和Genome组织一起，邀请到这个时代最为前卫的声音艺术家们在四月份，一连呈现四场精彩的活动。
首先，我们会在4月2日周日和4月3日周一，分别于上海和北京呈现Why Be与Rui Ho的演出。这两位音乐人都是现今俱乐部音乐界的感性代表，无论是奇巧的节奏，不按理出牌的编排还是精彩的声场，都是他们音乐的特色。
到时，4月2日于Dada的上海站中，暖场嘉宾会包括Scintii, Kilo Vee， Hyph11e，16666和Sleepless，而在4月3日于北京的活动中，Kilo Vee和，Scintii，16666也会与Shackup一起组成暖场阵容。
紧接着，我们会带来伦敦制作人Gaika的首次中国巡演！在过去的一年里，他凭借着对Dancehall音乐充满力量感和冒险感的诠释，获得了巨大的好评，并被誉为“电子音乐界的巴斯奎特”。他的音乐不仅仅充满智慧，与周遭环境密切相关，还非常适合跳舞，堪称是这个电子时代的福音音乐。
4月15日,Gaika会于Dada的上海站上和Downstate, Miraisenshi, Kilo Vee, 16666, Riddim Ryder和Sleepless等一起演出，而在4月16日于北京Dada的活动中，Bloodzboi和Puzzy Stack则会和他一起组成演出阵容。
Why Be
Why Be是一位生于韩国，在丹麦长大，现居柏林和哥本哈根的音乐人和DJ。在2016年，他为Stephanie Comilang关于居住在香港的菲律宾打工者的科幻纪录片做了配乐，并与Elysia Crampton，Chino Amobi，Lexxi和Rabit一起创作了《Demon City》专辑，得到了Pitchfork杂志“简约的奇迹”的高度评价。“《Demon City》创造了一个异世界，在那里人与人之间的不同得到赞赏，治愈和成长的力量满地皆是。”评论里如此写道。
Rui Ho
Rui Ho是来自中国的制作人和DJ。在度过了于法国学习和制作音乐的生活后，ta现居柏林。Rui Ho的音乐介乎于当代俱乐部电子音乐和传统中国音乐之间，并从人们于网络对话中戴着的假面出发，探讨着数码时代的身份认同。
作为柏林社区电台网站“培育计划”的获奖者，Rui Ho在2016年末于Genome厂牌发表了首张单曲《Ru Meng Ling》，并在Vice的音乐频道Thump上得到了首发，ta的首张EP也会在4月份正式发行。
Gaika
Gaika称他结合了dancehall，reggae和grime等元素的音乐为“隔都未来主义”，黑色的哥特乌托邦的背景音乐。
这个“乌托邦”就是伦敦，在这个经历了许多次世界化变迁的城市里，Gaika通过自己的经验，用音乐的形式把这样巨大的变化融合到了一起，做到了既黑暗又旋律化，既实验又好听的绝妙平衡。
2016年，他于Mixpak厂牌发表了以伦敦为概念的《SECURITY》，一发表就被Pitchfork评为“对这个糟糕世界非常必要的抗争音乐。”而在2016年11月，他又于极具影响的Warp厂牌下发表了《Spaghetto》，再次以音乐做出了只属于自己的政治声明。
