MusicDish*China Sounds Pod3 - The Chinese Indie Triangle

Subscribe to the podcast

This edition of the MusicDish*China Sounds podcast presented by Metal Postcard Records features bands from China's main music hubs - Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai - as well as our first artist interview with Poubelle International.

The podcast opens with Hong Kong's rock monsters DP, which recently took the stage at Austin's SXSW conference. We originally played DP's single "Supermegadon" in our inaugural podcast, and they have since been putting the finishing touches to their full-length, self-titled debut release. The track "Man Thresher" will be released on a double A-side 7' with their track "My Hyena" this spring. Also, keep an eye out for the band's collaboration with multi-talented Quan Yeomans to create a video for their track Velvet Tiger. The video is set for release in the coming weeks.

DP recently shared the stage with our featured band Poubelle International on March 27th during the "Music For Your Marrow," a benefit concert to support the Hong Kong Bone Marrow Service. We first mentioned Poubelle International when they played the closing music performances for the 2009 Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism - Architecture: 'Bring Your Own Biennale' (BYOB). We then promised to play my favorite track "The Sell Out," and we kept our word and more. Sean Hocking interviews band leader Ben McCarthy on the group's name, their recent shows in Manila, Philippines, their new EP "Avec La Boom" and track The Battle of Trafalgar Square.

Off to Shanghai for a pleasant surprise called The Curry Soap, a solo project by Muscle Snog's synth player and vocals Vivien Albarn. Their song "Little Northern Europe" reunites Vivien with Muscle Snog drummer Zheng Ke. The song reminds me of the sounds of Beijing-based White and would be perfect for more high-brow anime.

Staying with Shanghai, we discover the gentle post-rock self-titled single from 21g, named after the movie "21 grams" by Mexico director Alejandro González Iñárritu. Formed in 2004, the 4-piece band released their debut album "21 grams" two years later.

Another one of my personal favorite bands that laid the foundation for Beijing's indie scene is Hedgehog. The band was part of the Sing For China tour last year, joining Queen Sea Big Shark and Casino Demon for 22 days across 18 cities. I'm certainly looking forward to hearing more on "B-side Lovers," a brand new group formed by Hedgehog members Zijian and Atom. In the meantime, we're playing Apart from Hedgehog's 2007 album "Noise Hit World."

We wrap up the podcast with something one does not often find associated with chinese music: political speech. Songwriter Ah-P with Hong Kong band My Little Airport penned a song on the city's Chief Executive Donald Tsang called "Donald Tsang, Please Die," whose video on YouTube is about to break the 100,000 mark.

Kerchoonz K-box Selected 'Runner-up' Music Therapy MVP By Therapy Times

The K-box, the first gel audio technology that turns any solid surface into a speaker system introduced by social media platform Kerchoonz.com, was selected as a 'Runner-up' for Music Therapy Most Valuable Product of 2009 in the Therapy Times' 2009 MVP Awards. Therapy Times found that the K-box provided therapists with the ability to create a portable music therapy environment.

"Something new to the field that I think has got a lot of potential to change the way we use music therapy is the K-Box. Using special 'gel audio technology', this handheld speaker can bring people out from the seclusion of their headphones and share what their music with me, just by using any flat surface. We're not shut out anymore, but sharing a musical experience, working primarily on the rhythm and vibrations of the music. Even better, I've found that clients enjoy changing between different flat surfaces I have in my office because it changes the frequencies of the vibrations - wood, metal, or plastic tables can all be very interesting amplifiers." - Ryan Thames, MT-BC http://www.therapytimes.com/content=0302J84C48769286406040441/#Music

By plugging the device into any laptop, portable gaming device, MP3 player, mobile phone, TV or any 3.5 mm audio jack and then placing K-box on a desktop, table top or wall, the product uses the Gel Audio Technology to convert the entire surface underneath it into a giant audio speaker. Unlike most mini-speakers, the K-box does not produce a 'tinny' sound. Instead, the denser the surface, the deeper the bass response. This hybrid speaker has both a standard speaker inside (delivering mid-to-high frequencies) and the Gel Audio Technology (delivering low-end bass frequencies through surfaces).

The size of a mobile phone, the rubber-based device has an average output performance of 95dB at 1m, with the bass performance varying, dependent on differing surface levels with output ranges between 40Hz-20Khz. Recharged through USB connection, the K-box offers up to 20 hours of playtime between charges. K-box is available at www.kerchoonz.com/kbox, selling at £49.99 or $74.50 USD, plus shipping & handling.

Free electro MP3 from Polarity/1: 'Bring On The Sudz'

Get this player from Fairtilizer!

Polarity/1 - "Bring On The Sudz" (Speechless)
Download Free MP3 | Take a Listen

"With his minimal sound in a complex format, Polarity/1 gives you a huge musical massage. Notes seem to rise out from a basket of fresh fruit and everywhere you can 'see' these mystical exotic sounds. While the first part of 'Bring On The Sudz' is a funky house disco inferno, a saxophone suddenly brings you back to the roots moving to an acid jazz feel. Towards the middle, the song performs jungle-type beats with animated saxophone solos giving the feeling that a new direction is afoot. After 30 seconds of this, it's back on track in 'pithecanthropus' style. Polarity/1 then brings more change, providing listening clarity to a fusion of musical styles. 'Bring On The Sudz' finishes with it's acid jazz signature. Polarity/1 forges his song like a clay sculpture. Orchestrating centrifugal instrumental forces. Absolutely genius." - Nicholas Guida

The album SPEECHLESS by Polarity/1 changes the colors of the room. Things happen. Cheesy cultural artifacts sprinkled on sarcastic spaghetti. Mood music for non-linear equations and unlikely postures. Doesn't require drug-ingestion... IS drug ingestion. The grooves moves and the sex is textural. Beat science for curved dancefloor.
http://www.itunes.com/polarity1/speechless

The music of NYC-based POLARITY/1 is exactly what the name suggests: conjoined opposites -- a mash up of new: cutting edge electronica/hip hop/nu-jazz and old; roots music of America (blues, funk, country, early jazz), Brazil (samba, pagoda, etc.) and West African groove science.
