Mengzy Selects – 045 / March

Welcome to ‘Mengzy Selects’, a monthly video column which features recently released tracks by producers and labels in Asia and across the Asian diaspora. Your host is Mengzy: a Hong Kong-based DJ and producer, PhD in musicology, music journalist and co-founder of Feed the Dragon.

Berlin-based Tomoyoshi shared his latest EP, ‘Freeform’ on March 18. While most of the tracks on the release channel darker, techier vibes, ‘Soul In The Air’ provides a fresh dose of liquid funk into the mix.

Listen to ‘Soul In The Air’ here.

Filipino label Twelve Points Records celebrated its second anniversary recently with the sophomore edition of its ‘Pathways’ compilation series. Opening the 12-track VA is Soft as Silk’s ‘Sudden Shocks and Resurrections’ – a play between glitchy percussion and warm melodics.

In honour of March 3, or “303 Day”, Lowki celebrated the legendary Roland synth with a new single. ‘20260303’ takes on acid x dubstep – a combination you don’t hear as often – and Lowki nailed the assignment, delivering a heavy hitter.

Shanghai-based Somebodyyyy released ‘Caniba EP’ via Californian label The Delirium Project earlier this month. Dedicated to 140 explorations, the project closes with atmospheric 2-step breaks on ‘Fruitz’.
