Hyph11E's first album is landing on October 16th.
The ten-track album is largely inspired by the idea of holes. As record label SVKBVLT's release notes explain:Holes are ontologically parasitic—they are always within something else and cannot exist in isolation. Holes accompany us throughout our lives, dilative and devoured, fillable but indispensable. On one hand, they are the driven force for evolution, on the other hand, holes are also the layer of scab that signals growth. Without tearing, cutting and gluing, we cannot create or eliminate a hole. Topologists use the number of holes to distinguish geometric objects. In the same method, in the closed circuit of encrust and erosion, we became idiographic individuals.
The Beijing-raised, Shanghai-based producer first appeared on SVBKVLT with the Vanishing Cinema EP, which featured "Black Pepper 炎," one of the label's biggest club hits so far. She also released a collaborative EP with Slikback late last year.
