Xin Lie

Xin Lie’s debut LP offers a raw and immersive reflection of modern chaos, shaped by his roots in Bandung, where tradition meets rapid modernization. Drawing from hardcore and punk influences, he reworks that intensity into a club context, creating a sonically dense and rhythmically unpredictable experience. The album fuses disjointed beats, fluctuating frequencies, and organic textures—such as local sounds and voices—into a cohesive yet unruly whole. It challenges conventional dance music norms, offering a bold and thoughtful exploration that feels both personal and far-reaching.
