A few days ago, an EP by the moderately flashy Howie Lee (李化迪), an electro-club-hip-hop enthusiast from Beijing, was released. Contrary to all expectations, I really like "Seven Weapons." I quote from the description: "Known for fusing traditional Asian sounds into the experimental clubbing field, Howie Lee pushes the boundaries in order to access a broader sound palette. Styles and elements are always mixed ingeniously; Tibetan chanting, middle-eastern zurna, syncopated drums, deep and modern bass, buoyant jazz chords - it’s difficult to know what to expect." Just like that.
