WOOOZY OFFLINE #2: BOK BOK
After a special couple of nights with New York Transit Authority in April, we are super charged to follow up with something really a little bit special. UK producer, DJ and label head Bok Bok is gracing China with turntable skills and his newly minted second solo EP in his bag! His tastemaker label – Night Slugs, a label-cum-collective that Spin Magazine proclaims “has developed one of the most distinctive sounds in U.K. dance music, a mutable hybrid of grime, house, electro, R&B, techno, hip-hop, and dubstep.” is at the forefront of the latest renaissance in UK electronic music.
In true Wooozy style, the second session of Wooozy Offline brings China’s finest local talents to pair up with Bok Bok’s signature hyper-real sound across Beijing and Shanghai. For the Beijing stop, Wooozy join up with local electronic collaborative Do Hits. In Shanghai, catch local supports like DJ Sleepless, Damacha, Faded Ghost B2B Howell, and Misloop.
Bok Bok’s got some weighty recent collaborations under his belt as well: lead track ‘Melba’s Call’ features Kelela, who set the tabs alight with her debut last year. His new tunes still include nods toward Grime roots, but have developed a more rounded and funkier sound with Melba’s Call as the blueprint.
Come and join the party on May 23 at Dada in Beijing and on May 24 at The Shelter in Shanghai!

在四月份令人难忘的New York Transit Authority演出之后，我们非常激动地宣布，无解电场将在第二期的活动中带来非常特别的人选——那就是，来自英国的制作人，DJ，和Night Slugs厂牌的主脑Bok Bok 。作为近期英国电子音乐复兴潮流中最前沿的厂牌，著名的《Spin》杂志称Night Slugs厂牌“融合了Grime, House, Electro, R&B， Techno，Hip-Hop等元素,开创了英国舞曲音乐最独特的声音。”而在这首次的中国之行中，他还将带着众所期待的第二张个人EP中的曲目亮相！
按照无解电场活动的惯例，我们依然会请到中国本土最优秀的音乐人和Bok Bok一起演出。在北京方面，我们请到了当地极有代表性的Do Hits组织。而在上海的演出里，dj sleepless, Damacha, Faded Ghost ,Howell以及Misloop也都会倾力相助。
Bok Bok最新的音乐出手非常引人注目，他的新歌《Melba’s Call》里请来了去年凭借着首张个人专辑在乐坛引起了巨大反响的Kelela客串，并在坚持自己Grime音乐根源的同时，引入了更加全面和律动化的声音色彩。
如果你想要领略当今舞曲界最为激动人心的声音，请务必亲临5月23日的Dada BJ，以及5月24日的The Shelter感受Bok Bok的音乐魅力！

关于无解音乐网:
从2009年开始，无解音乐网就以报道国内外最令人激动的音乐为己任.而作为无解音乐网旗下的活动——“无解电场”绝不仅仅只包括一个派对，一次工作坊经历，或者一次活动而已。它会成为链接国内外电音交流的一座桥梁。
关于Do Hits组织:
Do Hits是一个以系列派对和在线电台为表现形式的电子音乐组织，由常驻北京的音乐人Sulumi、Guzz、Howie Lee和Billy Starman于2011年创立。四位老友虽风格各异，却形成了奇妙的默契，并分别有着各自的音乐计划。Howie Lee在英国留学期间，于布里斯托厂牌Trapdoor旗下发行了全新EP。Sulumi开始重新运作中国第一个电子音乐厂牌“山水”。Guzz痴迷于对Acid的无尽探索，并计划于今年发表新EP。Billy Starman则忙于周游各地，为Vice中国制作纪录片，并在所有可以放音乐的场合DJ。Do Hits原始成员2014再度聚首，并与无解电场合作，带来这次特殊的音乐风暴。[:]
