The shape shifting Beijing producer/improviser/DJ returns with another album only he could make. Delicately sampled traditional Buddhist chants with Chinese and Tibetan music meet Lees signature synthesized folk instruments, destructive and deconstructed dub beats and bass. It’s a cohesive album of headphone candy and dancefloor heat that forms a hazy landscape of the Monastery, Lee’s experience there and his ongoing relationship to music in general.

Fresh off several LPs and EPs with an instrumental feel and improvisational nature that draw out the jazzy and folksy sides of Less sound, the pendulum swung back to bass for a substantial number of dj sets that leveled dancefloors across Asia. Once again the wheel turns and he seeks his next steps and sounds in the mountains of Tibet at the Drolma Wesel-Ling Buddhist Monastery.

This album was recorded there over two weeks with historical material from the Monastery archives and while living it’s practices. It processes and synthesizes Lee’s relationship to dance music through the lens of his own very experimental and continually transforming musical practice. The record is incredibly detailed without being overwrought and fun as hell start to finish. Club classics for monastic practice. Don’t miss it.
