------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This project unites artists from two labels, Chinese based bié Records and Latin America based Shika Shika, separated by very contrasting cultures and thousands of kilometers but united by shared values and a shared musical vision.
Driven by values of creativity, borderless music and fairness for artists, both labels showcase artists that unite electronica with ambient and folk music, purposefully existing outside of the globalized, copy-paste of the mainstream music industry.
A mix of intrigue and mutual respect led to the birth of this compilation, with the two labels teaming up to match together a group of their artists to remix each other. The result is a widely imaginative, fresh and diverse selection of tracks featuring some of the prominent producers such as DaYe, Lim Giong; Hualun, Sun Dawei and Rainsoft from bié records and DJ Raff, Terror:Cactus, Numa Gama, Barrio Lindo and El Búho from Shika Shika.
The compilation is a testament to music's power to transcend language and cultural background as artists from hugely different contexts unite to explore and build on each other's creative visions.
About bié records:
As we are still figuring out what it means to be a ‘listener’ in the global context today, the ambition of bié Records as a label is not to document the turbulences of times, but to provide musicians with equal opportunities to speak out and impetus to thoroughly express themselves. Our hope is that the natural state of music – fun and spirituality – will break free from the ‘golden rules’ of the much-developed global standards.

这个项目联合了来自中国的 bié Records 和来自拉丁美洲的 Shika Shika。两个在不同文化
中诞生的厂牌和两波艺术家虽然相隔万里,却因共同的价值认同和音乐愿景走到了一起。
在创造力、音乐无国界和艺术家公平发声的价值驱动下,两个厂牌的艺术家将环境音乐和本
地的民俗音乐融入电子乐制作中,有意地区别于全球主流音乐产业范围内泛滥的复制粘帖做
法。
相互的激发和尊重促成了这张合辑的诞生。两个厂牌将各自的艺术家聚集在一起,开始了这
个相互交换混音的音乐项目。最终,天马行空、新鲜又多样的音乐产出分别来自于这些优秀
的制作人:bié Records 的 大叶、林强、花伦、孙大威、Rainsoft,以及 Shika Shika 的 DJ
Raff、Terror:Cactus、Numa Gama、Barrio Lindo 和 El Búho。
这张合辑证明了音乐超越语言和文化的力量,使来文化背景差异巨大的艺术家们可以联合起
来,在彼此的创作愿景之上持续探索。
