Brooklyn Techno Outfit, Forma, Release Rehearsal Recordings from Beixinqiao

To celebrate the arrival of the monkey year, Brooklyn-based progressive techno outfit, Forma, released a new recording from a rehearsal at their Beixinqiao hostel during the last JUE festival. They wowed many with their electronic wizardry during their visit, opening for Logos at Dada in Beijing and Shelter in Shanghai. 

They recorded this in a tiny room at the Candy Inn Hostel in Beixin Hutong. Turning the floor into spaghetti, with patch cables and power adaptors strewn about and loads of synth equipment stacked on the furniture. These recordings capture them jamming in the days leading up to their China premiere at Dada. They even threw in some field recordings taken from their time here. This was Forma at the height of performing the kind of material they released on their "Cool Haptics" EP. Go here or press play below to check it out. 

The material was released on Soundcloud courtesy of the underground electronic music label The Bunker NY. The Bunker NY is best known for their parties, which happen about twice a month at various venues around Brooklyn. They've hosted over 500 DJs/live acts and released over 30 LPs during the past nine years.
