china.wav Mix is a mix series by RADII highlighting alternative wavelengths of Chinese underground culture you never knew existed. Today we’re featuring Laughing Ears’ Nordic-inspired experimental club music.
Shanghai-based producer Laughing Ears, who was born in northern Liaoning province, is perhaps best-known for creating sci-fi ambient dreamscapes with China-based labels like Ran Music and FunctionLab, as well as Australian label DECISIONS and UK-based electronic label Chinabot.
On her new release, she’s linking up with Mexican label Infinite Machine, whom she reached out to over the internet after finding their music online. She’s also been stretching her aural soundscapes, focusing her efforts around crafting music that is more bass-inclined, something that can be heard on the record’s lead track, “Loki.”
Ahead of the release of her new record on Infinite Machine on February 26, Laughing Ears provided us with our latest china.wav mix that combines some of the new tracks on her record, with some unreleased tracks, as well as a delicious rework of Cat Power’s “Werewolves.”
china.wav spotlights the best of China’s rising music and artistic talent, amplifying their voices to the rest of the world.
