Lost / Echo

If you've followed China's underground scene long enough, you probably remember 3ASiC & LJC's collaboration Yong (泳) on Vibe Digital. Six years later, Yong has become a staple of China's dance music scene, while both 3ASiC and LJC have gained support from underground icons like Plastician, Mumdance, Martyn, and Jacques Greene. After a long pause and a few solo releases from both artists, 3ASiC & LJC reunite on inexist.club with their new EP Echo / Lost. The lead track, Echo, brings grime/wave sounds back to their heyday, with icey synth melodies roaring above the grime bassline, echoing Joker's Kapsize swag. Meanwhile, Lost effortlessly blends the uplifting vibes of modern trance with breakbeat garage. Imagine the 2005 FWD sound getting repurposed for Creamfields main stage—no less, no more.
