A Pop-up Bookstore dedicated for Music and Book Lovers

@abC Art Book Fair Beijing, 07.27-31 2022
Curatd by Shy People






限时音乐书店 Air
@ abC 艺术书展 7.27-7.31
(北京西城区 劝业场文化中心三层 B44)


         无拘无束的自由舞步,头顶星空脚踏草地的欢乐派对,震耳欲聋的酸性声响,与人放松交流的兴奋……我们未曾停止追寻、怀念,并随时准备着再次出发。

“害羞的人”希望通过积极的消费主义来塑造心目中的国内音乐/文化生活新环境。让大家可以找到属于自己的灵感,重新对待周遭,和外界建立更深的连接,并与任何感兴趣之人分享其冒险经历。在 7 月末的 abC 2022 北京艺术书展,我们为乐迷和书迷们开设一间限时音乐书店 Air。售卖从世界各(独立)出版社选购的音乐文化相关书籍,还有电子音乐新唱片。同时我们的音乐人 Night Swimmer 现场坐阵签售《Xia Ye》黑胶。

此外 Night Swimmer 在周六下午演《Xia Ye》的首场氛围 Live Set,构建一小时的世外桃花源,敬请期待。










在囿于原地的时期,我们通过多方联络,用接近一年时间收揽来世界上和锐舞有关的新书、zine 和杂志,以及新出版的独立电子音乐唱片。希望 Air 是你的能量补给站,安慰剂,灵感火花,新鲜空气。





我们这回的书籍主打“锐舞历史归档”和“音乐范文化” 。前者有来自三藩市唐人街的 Colpa Press 工作室近年来闻名全球独立艺术书/音乐圈的“锐舞传单”系列 Zine,香港电子音乐厂牌 Klasse Wrecks 出版的关注点各有千秋的七本小书,伦敦摄影出版社 MACK 唯一一本记录自由锐舞派对的《No System》(已经绝版多年),朋克音乐历史收藏家 Toby Mott 新书《新纪元:从巨石阵到 Jungle (场景)》等等……

后者包含音乐相关插画、海报设计、酷儿派对指南、音乐人自出版艺术书、音乐历史/风格文献、传记、哲学理论、音乐节杂志等内容。






如你所见,以上是我们的部分黑胶新唱片。不常见到的 Arthur Russell / Dinosaur L、青木靖晃、Jlin、Elysia Crampton、Jon Hassell、Daniel Lopatin 和 Call Super……挑选的原则当然是我们自己所喜欢的。





Night Swimmer《Xia Ye》电音神游现场演出
@ abC 艺术书展 7.30 16:00-17:00
(北京西城区 劝业场文化中心二层北厅 E14)


Night Swimmer 以新专辑《Xia Ye》为脚本,在 E14 展厅现场使用合成器、键盘和电脑编写一个经历疫情心绪波荡,而后在雨中夜游山林,被自然慰藉的男孩成长故事。

E14 展厅为声音装置空间。在 Xia Ye 一小时演出之外,这里展示沉浸式声音环境项目 Warm Spell。感谢伦敦声音艺术厂牌/线上播放平台 Continuous Tone 和策展人 David Blamey 外借空间供我们使用。

同时也感谢芬兰品牌 GENELEC 真力与北京 FLOSO 電気便利店的音响支持!

Born out of a passion for exploration, Shy People is a multimedia platform and a music label that creates experiences designed to demonstrate the limitless possibilities of lifestyle in China. We tend to reshape the terrains of our music and cultures through positive consumerism. Audience could find their own inspiration, shape their own environment, make connections with the world, and share their adventure with whoever is interested. Shy People will open a pop-up bookstore Air for music and book lovers during abC Art Book Fair Beijing 2022 at the end of July.

Let's expose to the air.

Using inner thinking and imagination to find the direct connection between our individuality and the times is the unspoken mission under the bustling abC Art Book Fair. Beijing music label Shy People chose music as a carrier to delineate the story of a boy who experienced emotional upheaval during the COVID-19 pandemic and was comforted by the wholesome nature. At the first stop of the China tour of Night Swimmer's new album "Xia Ye" - Hall E14 at 4pm on July 30 - we can sit down and listen to an hour of tranquility composed with synthesizers, keyboards and computer algorithms by the Wuhan-based musician, away from the real-life storms for a while.
