| Salutations, Split Works faithful! It’s starting to cool off here at Split Works HQ in Beijing and we can feel the nip of fall on these gorgeous August evenings. For music lovers all over China, fall means one thing – the October holiday music festivals. Though this year has seen the cancellation of Black Rabbit, we have amazing news for you: There WILL be a Split Works music festival this fall, and it is called Rabbit’s Foot Music Festival. Full announcement, and flurry of Split Works updates, awaits you below. |
ANNOUNCING RABBIT’S FOOT MINI FESTIVAL
Earlier this year, as we were in the planning stages for Black Rabbit, we were contacted by many musicians eager to participate in the festival. Over the course of planning the festival, bands large and small were all ready to take this stage this fall. When news of the cancellation came through, we wasted no time in looking for a solution for our artists, fans and ourselves. Today, along with our partners Taihe Live, we’re proud and excited to announce the result:Rabbit’s Foot. Although it’s not another Black Rabbit, we hope you’ll join us in welcoming some very talented artists to Shanghai this October. Who are we bringing? Well, there’s Milow, an earnest Belgian singer-songwriter whose biggest hit is a cover of 50 Cent’s “Ayo Technology.” There’s Terror Danjah, the “Godfather of Grime”. The Gar will be there – one of China’s most-beloved indie bands. So will The Inspector Cluzo, bringing funk rock but no bassist – never a bassist. Come and see innovative, genre-bridging Norwegian post-rockersCaves of Steel. Rounding things out are young Manchester rockers Third Cortez. There will be more local artists and DJs TBA – do you have any suggestions for us? Rabbit’s Foot Mini Festival Location & Tickets: To Be Announced. —————————————————————————————————————————— UK Now CONCERT SERIES –THE SILK ROAD: THE FENCE COLLECTIVE (KING CREOSOTE, THE PICTISH TRAIL, OnTheFly AND FOUND)
Beijing: Sunday, October 7th @ MAO Livehouse Fence, a self-described collective of “musicians, artists, craftsfolk, chancers, and slackers” based out of Fife, Scotland, make their way to China for the very first time in October 2012. This loosely-knit group, comprised on this tour of label laoban/singer-songwriter King Creosote, schizo-popsters FOUND, lo-fi balladeer The Pictish Trail (aka Johnny Lynch) and drummer/producer/sole beardless representative OnTheFly. Fence Records and The Fence Collective subscribe to a fierce DIY, lo-fi, analog ethos, with most members living and recording out of remote locations in the east of Scotland. The label’s output is reserved exclusively for members the Collective – a loose-knit amalgam of singer-songwriters, musicians, bands and electronic artists, who collaborate with one another on record, as well as on stage. —————————————————————————————————————————— BELGIAN SINGER-SONGWRITER MILOW COMING TO BEIJING + SHANGHAI
Beijing: Tuesday, October 2nd @ MAO Livehouse Milow is the stage name of Belgian singer-songwriter Jonathan Vandenbroeck. A true DIY success story, Milow’s self-released his first album, The Bigger Picture, in 2006 on his own label, spawning the hit single “You Don’t Know.” Three studio releases, one live album and a startling folk-pop cover of 50 Cent’s “Ayo Technology” later, Milow’s records have shifted over 650,000 copies and he has performed extensively in Europe and the United States. Milow burst onto the international scene in 2008 when he played an impromptu cover of 50 Cent’s “Ayo Technology” during a radio visit to promote his album Coming of Age. The cover went over so well that Milow released it as a single, garnering him praise from sources as disparate as Kanye West and TIME Magazine. This October, Split Works brings Milow to China for the Rabbit’s Foot Music Festival as well as a solo headlining date in Beijing.

| 嗨! Split Works的新老朋友们！Split Works所扎根的北京开始渐渐转凉了，在这些美丽的八月之夜我们已可以感受到一丝丝秋天的气息。对于全中国的乐迷来说，秋天的到来只意味着一件事——十月黄金周的各大音乐节要开始啦。虽然今年的“黑兔音乐节”无法如约举办，但我们仍有一些好消息要与你分享。这个秋天，Split Works将带来全音乐派对——“疯兔狂欢会”。想了解更完整的官方声明以及Split Works的最新活动，请见以下内容。 |
“疯兔狂欢会”即将启动时间： 2012年10月2日，10月3日
今年初，在准备黑兔音乐节都还顺利的那个阶段里，我们收到了许多艺人的合作申请，这其中既有大家都想看到的超级大牌，也有很多为能来中国感到兴奋不已的新声音。我们与其中一些艺人确定了演出合作，保证他们能至少来到中国一次，这是一份承诺，也是一份期待。音乐节取消了，但诚信不可打破！于是我们和太合互动联手，将这些人组织到一起，为所有的乐迷们奉上一份小规模惊喜，也算为2012年黑兔做个补偿和收尾。因此这个十月，希望你能够加入我们，一起欢迎这些富有天赋的艺术家们来到上海，为大家带来不一样的视听盛宴！ 我们将要带领哪些艺人来呢？让我来告诉你! 这组艺人里，有50 cent金曲 “Ayo Technology”的创作者，来自比利时的大热民谣流行歌手Milow；有根正苗红、粗粝贝司与华丽音韵结合的英国Grime“教父”Terror Danjah；你还能看到板儿正条儿顺味儿绝对的本土独立青年之声嘎调乐队；还有曾在中国做过巡回演出，以Funk Rock “疯克”全场的法国摇摆坏蛋组合The Inspector Cluzo；回归90年代硬摇滚，让你重温属于那个年代激情与柔情并重的英伦三人团体Third Cortez；以及曲风创新，融会贯通的挪威后摇乐队Caves of Steel。为了不让换场间隙的等待变得无聊，我们还将斥资邀请本土几位舞池煽动好手为大家DJ——还没决定好，有什么好建议吗？ ——————————————————————————————————————————————— UK 闹！系列巡演之——苏格兰独立厂牌The Fence Collective旗下音乐人(King Creosote, The Pictish Trail, OnTheFly and FOUND)寻访 “丝绸之路”
The Fence Collective发源于苏格兰，是迷你独立厂牌Fence Records 旗下创作人、音乐人、乐队和电子艺术家的集合。音乐人和计划之间共享资源，互相合作出新的作品，也有不少人在化名背后跳出自己原本的创作风格。这个集合里包括知名独立创作人King Creosote, 实验流行电音乐队FOUND，Lo-fi流行民谣组合The Pictish Trail以及实验氛围音乐人ONTHEFLY。The Fence Collective 的音乐风格虽不是传统意义上的民谣，但本质是想在群体之间建立互动交流，而这恰好与民谣流派的精神不谋而合。 北京：10月7日 （周日） MAO Livehouse ——————————————————————————————————————————————— 比利时民谣唱作才子Milow首次中国巡演- 上海 + 北京
Milow其实是比利时唱作人Jonathan Vandenbroeck的艺名。纵观Milow的成名之路，这就是一个完全DIY的过程。 Milow 自主独立发行了他的首张专辑The Bigger Picture。2006年，他的厂牌发行了大热单曲“You Don’t Know.”。之后，通过厂牌下的三个工作室Milow还发行了一张现场专辑和一首惊艳的翻唱，50 Cent“Ayo Technology“的流行民谣版本。MIlow的专辑大卖了650000张，他也在欧洲和美国的舞台上大放光彩。而Milow 真正名震全球是在2008年。当时他在一个电台节目中宣传他的专辑Coming of Age。他即兴演奏了50 Cent的“Ayo Technology” 。这一即兴之作立刻受到了大家的欢迎，之后Milow将它作为单曲发布，此曲受到了Kanye West，时代周刊等艺人及媒体的广泛赞誉。这个十月，Split Works将邀请Milow来到中国，相信他定会在北京的MAO Livehouse和“疯兔”狂欢舞台上为观众带来最愉悦的听觉享受。 ——————————————————————————————————————————————— UK 闹！系列巡演之——AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR 巡演回顾
