Howie Lee
Howie Lee, a Beijing-raised, UK-educated audiovisual producer and co-founder of the Do Hits label, is hailed as one of the most important names in Chinese electronic music today. He is known for lushly layered, ever-evolving soundscapes that deftly fuse Chinese instrumentals, global folk, and modern genres ranging from drum and bass to trap. A DJ for the dance parties of a dystopian, ethnically-melded future.
Last year, when he uploaded his "四海 Four Seas" track off Homeless on the music website Xiami, for example, Howie was surprised to see the song shoot up to the number-one spot on the website's EDM chart within weeks. However, because it was only available on Xiami, the song was only able to be discovered by Chinese audiences. Howie explains that a lot of this new music is invisible to the West because it's mostly released on China-specific digital platforms.
Howie has the sardonic irreverence characteristic of someone who sees reality for what it is. He is hypercritical and self-deprecating.
He is not creative, he just copies.
Music is not his job, though he happens to be known for it.
He has a dream, sure, the Chinese Dream.
YEHAIYAHAN
Long before she began releasing music under her given name, producer and vocalist Yehaiyahan was an unmistakable presence on Shanghai’s underground music scene. The Guizhou-born artist moved to China’s biggest city in 2005, and in 2007 took to the booth as part of legendary bass/dub crew Uprooted Sunshine, toasting crowds and honing her vocal chops under her best-known alias, ChaCha.
In the early years of her career, many of them spent in long-gone Shanghai club LOgO, Yehaiyahan cut her teeth as a DJ, producer, and vocalist with the heavy sounds of the Uprooted Sunshine entourage, in the process brushing up against bass music luminaries like Clive Chin, The Bug, and Kode9.
