Xiao Quan

By Resonate | July 9, 2021

Having spent the latter half of 2020 pushing out a string of intense bootlegs via SoundCloud and taking up remix duties for acts like Ice_Eyes, São Paulo’s Xiao Quan is readying some original productions for his debut release on Infinite Machine, entitled A Taste of Revenge. These frantic, drum-heavy compositions see the artist push further into a liminal space where techno and hybrid club sounds blend. The new record opens with Chakram Intel Bulletins; one of the EP’s more measured moments. Xiao Quan notches up the dread and suspense on the following tracks of the EP. Airy sustained tones and an unrelenting mass of polyrhythms push up against each other, vying for your attention before a piercing 2-tone melody cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter. The producer masterfully channels the uneasy and shadowy world of the manga series and translates it into the sonic experience.
