EUPHORIA给你的夏夜惊喜：Knopha ＜GYM＞ 新EP巡演

很少有DJ（中国就更不用说了）能像 Knopha 一样在广泛的音乐品类中穿梭畅游。听起来像陈词滥调， 但他就是既能自如地用碎拍 Techno 击破仓库派对，又同时传递柔和惬意的空灵音乐。

凭借这种多功能性（意味着抗打的技术能力和发现不同风格刁钻音乐的怪异胃口），Knopha 在中国地下舞曲音乐场景中赢得了一席之地。他是以一种典型的偷偷摸摸的方式做到的——头几年的演出稀疏不定期，间隔中悉心打理自己策划的 Beatween 派对（座上宾有 Orpheu The Wizard, MNDSGN, Yu Su, Mr Ho, Pender Street Steppers, Bell Towers, PLO Man……），同时不声不响地挖掘音乐和精进制作。于是当 Efdemin, Hodge, Laurel Halo, Dixon, Project Pablo 等艺人来到国内时，Knopha 成为助燃的最佳人选。而后经过一连串在招待所、Elevator、宀（香港）、Savage（河内）、Darker Than Wax

（新加坡）等地作为 headliner 的出演，又给了他机会展现与暖场风格截然不同，面对高峰时刻的另一面

——他不仅是一个有力的支持者，还隐藏着点燃舞池的深水炸弹。游离在DJ 台背后的他有着对周遭环境人事敏锐的感知力，随着群体能量的变化升迁同步调整不同形态的律动。

2018 年末 Knopha 在 Eating Music 厂牌发行的 <Nothing Nil> EP（让他本人很意外地）获得了众多圈内好评，其中包括 Hessle Audio 的主理人 Ben UFO。Ben 亲临 Oil（深圳）感受了他的现场后，便邀请 Knopha 为其厂牌在 Rinse FM 的节目录制 guest mix。此前， Knopha 亦为 Redlight Radio, Pender Street Steppers 的 NTS 电台节目献上曲风上天入地，又自成一派的 mix。今年六月，他为在燃音乐发表的新EP <Gym> 所筹备的宣传巡演也即将启程。

当 Knopha DJ 的时候应该期待什么？最优解就是不用带着任何期望。或许你可以想象一下自然的节奏、迷幻的转折、摇头晃脑的打击乐、令人神怡的旋律——作为一曲不曾间断的叙事同时流动。哦，还有他的胡子！

Few DJs on the globe - let alone China - traverse musical worlds as fluently as Knopha. It sounds like a  cliche, but he is literally as comfortable smashing a warehouse rave with broken techno, as he is channeling the gentle seaside ambient vibe of his adopted hometown Xiamen.

It's with this versatility (meaning both technical skills and a monster appetite to find different styles of incredible music) that Knopha has earned a place in the top tier of Chinese dance music. He's done it in a characteristically sneaky way - just a few years ago, gigs were few and far between besides his own impeccably curated Beatween events (Orpheu The Wizard, MNDSGN, Yu Su, Mr Ho, Pender Street Steppers, Bell Towers, PLO Man and others). Noone knew how hard  he was  digging,  and  learning  a  production craft. When they caught on, things moved fast - Knopha quickly become the go-to to support cutting edge acts across the country (Efdemin, Hodge, Laurel Halo, Dixon, Project Pablo).  But now,  after headlining  nights himself with Elevator (Shanghai), Minh (HK), Savage (Hanoi), TAG (Chengdu), Zhao Dai (Beijing),  Loopy (Hangzhou), and Darker Than Wax (SG), it's dawned on bookers and ravers alike, that he's not just a strong support - he had been hiding peak-time bombs all along.

The Nothing Nil EP, released on Eating Music in late 2018, brought praise from major players including Hessle Audio boss Ben UFO. When Ben came to Oil in Shenzhen, he heard Knopha's warmup and immediately invited him to record a set for Hessle's legendary Rinse FM show. Other standout sets include Red Light Radio and NTS for Pender Street Steppers, each showing a different side of the selector. This summer, Knopha will tour 7 Chinese cities in support of his new EP 'Gym', released on Ran Music.

What to expect from a Knopha set? Safest not to expect at all - but if you must, think organic rhythms, psychedelic turns, head-snapping percussion and entrancing melody - flowing together as part of one unbroken narrative. And a mustache.
