N3V3R1AND 玩乐时间 世界俱乐部大串联


Aunty Chen — Playtime


10.16 2025










“玩乐时间,世界俱乐部大串联,把最有趣的和本真的东西放在一起。即使聒噪,即使有地域性,但节奏没有地理隔离。这90分钟的音乐是在 Shy People 的 N3V3R1AND 第一次派对上放的歌。歌都是热的、高强度的、全力以赴的。bpm从100到145,从拉丁美洲、到非洲、到中国和泛亚洲的制作人、还有欧美流行与说唱。风格和时代总会不停翻滚向前,但舞池都将团结在繁茂多样的玩乐里。”

—— Aunty Chen


Playtime, a grand global club nexus, bringing together the most interesting and authentic elements. Even if it's noisy, even if it's regional, the rhythm knows no geographical segregation. This 90-minute music set was played at Shy People's N3V3R1AND party. The tracks are hot, high-intensity, and full-throttle. BPM ranges from 100 to 145, featuring producers from Latin America, Africa, China, and Pan-Asia, alongside European and American Pop and Rap. Styles and eras will constantly roll forward, but the dance floor will unite in exuberant, diverse play. — Aunty Chen  



来自大理的白族纳西族混血儿,现居香港/深圳,蜗在九平米单间鼓捣 DJ 和电台。从自制电台到 Baihui,从智能舞曲到 Reggaeton,从恐怖核嘻哈到同志舞厅下腰音乐,化骨绵掌。作为 Vulnerable Club 的联合创始人,此阿姨不是那个住在你邻里的阿姨,是卧薪尝胆在舞池里争夺解释权顺带给你下个蛊的边疆聂隐娘。

A mixed heritage of Bai and Naxi from Dali, currently based in Hong Kong/Shenzhen, dwelling in a nine-square-meter room tinkering with DJing and radio. From self-produced radio to Baihui, from IDM to Reggaeton, from Horrorcore Hip-Hop to Ballroom Vogue music, like a 'cotton palm' that melts bones. As a co-founder of Vulnerable Club, this Aunty is not the one living next door; she's a borderland Nie Yinniang (a legendary female assassin), enduring hardships on the dance floor to seize the right of interpretation, all while subtly casting a spell on you.

咏唱虚拟图景下的 Z 世代鲜活人生!

在移动网络的洪流中,个体的命运交织得前所未有地轻薄脆弱。即便如此,我们仍渴望被看见、被理解,仍不断寻找连接。

在政治动荡、经济危机与科技变革的裹挟下,个体的存在如同蚁蝼;而爱恨情仇,诚惶即时的情绪,则轻似屏幕上闪烁的光标——瞬生即灭。《Digital Intimacy》宛若一部限定剧集,咏唱 Z 世代在虚拟与现实间切换的生活:消费文化下的身体焦虑、对关注与认可的渴望、隔屏的暧昧、未来人机关系的可能性,以及对 web 1.0 时代那份天真的回望……

北京电子音乐唱作人 Freedompage 将这些亲身体验与想象收集并封装进沾染 UK Garage、House、Trap、Drum & Bass 等光怪陆离声景的 Dance Pop 之中;词曲、编曲、演唱与后期制作均由他独立完成。墨西哥情绪化舞曲制作人 DJ Fucci 特别献上《Dreamboy》混音,为这首情歌倾洒别样的 Reggaeton 雪花。

Freedompage 既是经历者,也是叙述者——沉湎于数字浪潮,又试图抽离,以旋律与节拍凝练出荒诞时局中难以道明的温度与距离,唤起对现实的反思与关怀。


REPRESENTATION

Sing the vibrant lives of Gen Z in virtual landscapes!

In the torrent of mobile networks, individual destinies intertwine with unprecedented fragility. Yet we still long to be seen, to be understood, and to keep seeking connection.

Amid political unrest, economic crises, and technological shifts, existence feels as small as an ant; love, hate, and fleeting emotions flicker like cursors on a screen—appearing and vanishing in an instant. Digital Intimacy unfolds like a limited series, portraying Gen Z lives moving between the virtual and the real: body anxiety shaped by consumer culture, the craving for attention and validation, screen-bound ambiguity, the possibilities of human–machine intimacy, and a nostalgic gaze toward the naïveté of Web 1.0 era.

Beijing electronic musician Freedompage encapsulates these experiences in Dance Pop layered with textures of UK Garage, House, Trap, and Drum & Bass. Every lyric, composition, performance, and production was done independently by him. Mexican emotional dance music producer DJ Fucci delivers a special remix of “Dreamboy”, veiling this love song with a flurry of Reggaeton snowflakes.

Freedompage is both witness and narrator—immersed in the digital tide yet stepping back, capturing the unspeakable warmth and distance of absurd times through rhythm and melody, evoking reflection and care for reality.


仮想の風景の中で、Z世代の鮮やかな人生を歌い上げる!

モバイルネットワークの洪水の中で、個々の運命はこれまでにないほど脆く、軽やかに交錯している。それでも私たちは、見られたい、理解されたいという渇望を抱き続け、つながりを求め続ける。

政治的動揺、経済危機、技術革新に翻弄される中、個人の存在は蟻のように小さく、愛や憎しみ、瞬間的な感情は画面上で点滅するカーソルのように儚く消えていく。Digital Intimacy はまるで限定シリーズのように、Z世代が仮想と現実の間を行き来する生活を歌い上げる:消費文化による身体的不安、注目や承認への渇望、画面越しの微妙な関係、未来の人と機械の関係の可能性、そして Web 1.0 時代へのあの純粋な懐かしさ……。

北京出身のエレクトロニックミュージック・シンガーソングライター Freedompage は、これらの体験と想像を収集し、UK Garage、House、Trap、Drum & Bass などの奇怪なサウンドスケープを取り入れた Dance Pop に封じ込めた。作詞・作曲・編曲・演奏・ミキシングはすべて彼自身が手がけている。メキシコ出身のエモーショナル・ダンスミュージックプロデューサー、DJ Fucci が特別に提供した「Dreamboy」リミックスは、このラブソングに独自のレゲトンの雪花を注ぎ込む。

Freedompage は経験者であると同時に語り手でもある——デジタルの潮流に没入しつつも距離を取り、旋律とリズムで、理不尽な時代における言葉にできない温度と距離を凝縮し、現実への思索と共感を喚起する。





Freedompage

来自北京的电子音乐唱作人,擅长把日常微小情绪化作动人的节奏与旋律。他游走于不同风格之间,探索新鲜感与能量,坚持个人化表达。此前仅在 Arca 全球社区网络合辑中发表一首单曲。2025年9月,他将在 Shy People 推出首张专辑《Digital Intimacy》——带你穿越虚拟世界,触碰 Z 世代屏幕背后的鲜活人生与丰富情感。

About Artist

Beijing-based electronic musician Freedompage excels at turning subtle everyday emotions into compelling rhythms and melodies. He moves fluidly across different styles, exploring freshness and energy while maintaining a highly personal expression. Previously featured only one single in the Mutants 1000000 Discord community's compilation. in September 2025, he will release his debut album Digital Intimacy on Shy People, taking listeners through virtual worlds to experience the vibrant lives and rich emotions of Gen Z behind the screens.



北京出身のエレクトロニック・ミュージック・アーティスト Freedompage は、日常のささいな感情を躍動的なリズムとメロディに変換することを得意とする。彼はさまざまなスタイルを行き来しながら、新鮮さとエネルギーを探求し、個性的な表現を貫いている。これまで the Mutants 1000000 Discord community のコンピレーションに一曲のみ参加した経験があるが。2025年9月、Shy People から自身初のアルバム Digital Intimacy をリリース。仮想世界を通して、Z世代がスクリーンの向こうで生きる鮮やかな日々と豊かな感情に触れることができる。

梦中呢喃或是醒后低语?


EkII — OUROBOROS


07.15 2025










“这是一段可以在睡醒之后,在房间里听的 set。” 为了让大家更了解我们的新制作人 EkII,于是用 DJ mix set 的方式分享他六月底发布的首张 EP《ABYSSAL CALLOUT》的灵感来源:

“午后清醒梦的回声,在房间里日夜颠倒的生活,时常挂着耳机就已经入睡,许多声音、采样、旋律的碎片悄悄进入潜意识,在半梦半醒中记下的片段,后来常常在通勤路上,课堂上,不经意地闪回。我记录下自己的梦境与灵感,并投入到新的创作。这也是新 EP 的雏形和起点。” —— EkII

"This is a set you can play in your room after waking up." To help you get to know our new producer EkII better, we’re sharing a DJ mix set inspired by his debut EP “ABYSSAL CALLOUT”, released at the end of June:

“It’s the echo of lucid dreams in the afternoon — living a life where day and night blur, often falling asleep with headphones on. Bits of sound, samples, and melodies quietly slip into the subconscious. I’d wake up with fragments half-remembered, and later they’d flash back unexpectedly — on the commute, in class. I started writing down my dreams and moments of inspiration, which eventually became the foundation of my new work. That’s how this EP began.” — EkII






Shy People 新制作人 EkII 来自贵阳,同时也是一名爵士鼓手。大学毕业后赴日深造,师从 Dennis Frehse、大坂昌彦、横山和明,就读于昭和音乐大学。 旅日期间,他活跃于东京电子与嘻哈音乐场景,曾与 Hiphop 音乐人 Duoble Zhuo 合作单曲“FOOTONFOOT”,并参与 99god 与日本说唱歌手 PAIN 的 remix 单曲“Bodega (Remix)”制作,该曲登上日本 Spotify 当日嘻哈趋势榜,并入选东京电台 Spincoaster 的 Monday Spin 歌单。

首张 EP《ABYSSAL CALLOUT》写于 EkII 的人生低谷,是一次对旧我的摧毁与重构,一次寻找自我声音的旅程。真诚欢迎各位给 Shy People 写来你自己的听后感。
Meet EkII, the newest addition to the Shy People roster.

Born in Guiyang, China, EkII is not only a producer but also a trained jazz drummer. After graduating from university, he moved to Japan to further his musical studies at Showa University of Music, studying under Dennis Frehse, Masahiko Osaka, and Kazuaki Yokoyama.

During his time in Tokyo, EkII became active in the city’s electronic and hip-hop scenes. He collaborated with hip-hop artist Duoble Zhuo on the single “FOOTONFOOT”, and co-produced the remix “Bodega (Remix)” by 99god and Japanese rapper PAIN — a track that climbed Japan’s Spotify Daily Hip-Hop chart and was featured on Tokyo radio Spincoaster’s Monday Spin playlist.

EkII’s debut EP, “ABYSSAL CALLOUT”, was written during one of the lowest points in his life — a sonic journey of self-destruction and reconstruction, and a search for his own voice.

We’d love to hear your thoughts — feel free to share your impressions with us at Shy People.

新世代制作人EkII 首张 EP《ABYSSAL CALLOUT》于 2025 年初夏发布。作为成长于传统音乐学院体系的爵士鼓手,他在严肃训练与东京演出现场之间来回拉扯,压抑感积聚,最终以原始直觉的电子语言挣脱束缚,踏上在系统边界外寻找自我声音的旅程。

这张 EP 写于人生低谷,是一次对旧我的摧毁与重构。前两首与歌手 MalangUwanna 合作,以 Glitch 吉他与调制曲线捕捉挣扎情绪;第三首回应尼采对叔本华的反叛,以 Breakbeat 和 Footwork 的躁动节奏召唤出超人的意志与冒险精神。

EkII 采样空调声等日常噪音,搭配切割重组的人声片段,制造出边界模糊的“不可控真实”。那些他曾排斥的声音,并由好友444theGod提供了混音和母带的独特质感,如今成为语言的一部分。《ABYSSAL CALLOUT》是一场音乐冒险,也是一种自我唤醒。
REPRESENTATION

Emerging producer EkII releases his debut EP ABYSSAL CALLOUT in the early summer of 2025. Trained as a jazz drummer within a classical conservatory system, he found himself torn between rigid discipline and the raw energy of Tokyo’s live scenes. The growing sense of confinement eventually led him to break free through instinct-driven electronic expression — a journey toward discovering his own voice beyond the boundaries of structure.

Written during a personal low point, the EP serves as both destruction and reconstruction of the self. The first two tracks, featuring vocalist MalangUwanna, weave glitch guitars and modulated curves into a sonic portrait of emotional struggle. The third track draws on Nietzsche’s rebellion against Schopenhauer, channeling a restless energy through breakbeats and footwork — a call to the will to power and the spirit of risk.

EkII samples everyday noise — the hum of air conditioners, environmental static — blending them with chopped and reassembled vocal fragments to create a blurred, “uncontrollable reality.” Once-rejected sounds now form the language of the record, further shaped by the distinct mixing and mastering touch of close collaborator 444theGod.

ABYSSAL CALLOUT is a sonic adventure — and a personal awakening.


新進気鋭の貴州出身プロデューサー、EkIIのデビューEP『ABYSSAL CALLOUT』が2025年夏にリリースされる。ジャズドラマーとして東京で鍛えられた彼は、制度と美学の狭間を反転し、理性からノイズ、訓練から直感へとシフトしていった。これは「音楽教育」の果てで生まれた、個人的崩壊と再構築の記録だ。

個人的な低迷期に制作されたこのEPは、グリッチギターと歪んだボーカル(MalangUwanna参加)から始まり、ブレイクビートやフットワークの爆発へと展開する――ニーチェ的な反逆と内なる再生へのオマージュだ。

日常のノイズ――エアコンの風音、断片、干渉音――が切り刻まれ、折り重なり、ぼやけた「制御不能なリアリティ」を生み出す。

ミックス/マスタリングは444theGod。
深淵が呼びかける。これは、EkIIによる自己覚醒のコールアウト、瞬間。
