Techno
適逢荷蘭廠牌Field Records 十五週年，為慶祝這個大日子， 宀特別邀請其成員帶來 Artefakt 和 AHPR 在本週六Techno音樂現場表演。 由 Nick Lapien 及Robin Koek 二人組成的Artefakt，其長篇迷離作品創出新風格「Hypnotic voodoo music」為人知悉，是Techno領域中近年最具爆發性的表演，本週六宀期待已久的硬橋硬馬的Techno現場表演。
In light of Amsterdam label Field Records’ 15th anniversary, we welcome its integral members Artefakt and AHPR for a mind-bending techno night this Saturday. Artefakt is a live duo made up of Nick Lapien and Robin Koek - known for their long and hypnotic tracks, described as “hypnotic voodoo music”. One of the most evocative live acts in contemporary techno, we very much look forward to seeing all the hardware in action.
FIELD RECORDS
Field Records publishes versatile electronic music from high-principled artists since 2008. Built on minimalism and modesty, the label published a variety of physical items. Additionally, label events have been organised in venues across France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, South Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine, United States and Switzerland.
Artefakt
At the root of Nick Lapien and Robin Koek’s Artefakt project is a shared love for melancholic, hypnotic voodoo music. Their sound is pensive with deep, rich textures; long track lengths—often six- minutes-plus—give the duo an expansive framework in which to make small changes of texture and tone, creating cerebral, balanced atmospheres that absorb and engage.
Their own label De Stijl serves as a platform for their musical explorations and those of their close friends. The imprint’s inaugural EP, Far and Wide, a lesson in dancefloor-ready techno that prioritises mood and melancholy, preceded Monsoon, Artefakt’s second album, this time on Svreca’s mighty Semantica Records. Across eight tracks, the duo evidenced an intrinsic understanding of rhythmic structures, confirming their status as one of the most singular and emotionally evocative acts in contemporary techno.
After releasing two EPs on the legendary Dutch imprint Delsin Records, Koek and Lapien presented their debut album, Kinship, cementing their nuanced, atmospheric style while showcasing its breadth. It was the first big step in their ongoing pursuit to adopt techno as an art-form rather than a genre. The duo emphasized their long nurtured ambient roots, with the release of their third album ‘Days Bygone’ returning to their homebase Delsin Records. Reflecting the dynamic of the times, the album is a spacious introspective work interwoven with their signature airy textural rhythms.
AHPR
Following a deep dive into trance around the turn of the millennium, AHPR initiated Field Records in 2008. Even since, the label has published a string of left-of-centre records from high-principled artists across the globe - including Acronym, Imaginary Softwoods and Monolake. As a logical extension of his curating efforts, AHPR irregularly explores emotion in sound in live settings. Former appearances took place in cities such as Amsterdam, Kiev, Paris, Seoul and Tokyo.
Yong Ying
YONG YING is a Hong Kong-based DJ who first got on the decks in 2020 and has since been driven by a relentless passion for digging and playing music. Her sets are known to combine dark experimental sounds, industrial techno, and a vibey dose of EBM. After a year of playing in a wide range of events and parties, she has built her sound and aesthetic while steadily making her mark in Hong Kong’s electronic music scene. She is now a regular at 宀 club and a resident of Entropy 熵.
