Zhangie b2b Ethan Johnson / Phrygia Recordings 016

Our inaugural recording for our Quivr residency arrives with Zhangie & Ethan Johnson. In Meanjin, it’s rare for techno and minimal to come alive within an intimate bar context. The laneway blurred the line between dancefloor and artist, with the crowd becoming a part of the mix. Zhangie & Ethan’s mix flaunts their eclectic taste in refined techno. Their shared appreciation for Efdemin and mid-2010’s Ostgut Ton records is evident throughout the course of the set. The initial building phases of the mix flows between minimal and ‘housier’ techno cuts as they lay a foundation for the last hour of raw and emotional main floor techno. Half of the brains behind the Dissent operation, Zhangie is a key player in building Meanjin’s music scene… be sure to head to their upcoming show in which they have booked Berlin-based, contemporary underground icon Reka Zalan. Stay tuned for more Phrygia x Quivr recordings to be released over the coming weeks. Zhangie b2b Ethan Johnson / Phrygia Recordings 016
