About the release 关于发行:
In 2017, Beijing-based electronic producer thruoutin released his debut release on RAN MUSIC titled Contingent of Outlying Territory. The eight-track EP, filled with vibrant footwork beats, manipulated field recordings, and vintage synths, was a milestone for the artists as it was his first full release on an entirely Chinese run label. After the album’s release, thruoutin did several notable performances showcasing the new material, such as Zhangbei Festival, Wetware, and Boiler Room China. A featured artist EP, curated by RAN MUSIC, followed up the initial release and contained songs by J-Fever, Diva Li, and more. Two music videos were also put out for the track Exploring the Interior and Setting off into the New. The release has remained in its digital state since being put out on RAN MUSIC. A physical component for EP’s digital release was due to accompany it, but setbacks and delays hindered completion until now. Jingweir is enthusiastically proud to announce the reissue of Contingent of Outlying Territory in its intended form. Included in this iteration is both the original eight-track EP and its respected featured artist track. Not to mention new and never before heard narration of the album's fictitious travel log in English and Mandarin. All of which comes as a cassette and zine pack complete with a digital download request slip.
This deluxe reissue of Contingent of Outlying Territory will be available for purchase on March 6th, 2021. All tracks from the EP will be performed live by thruoutin with support by Kaize and graciously hosted by nugget records.
This release is about the exploration of new places, whether physical or within our minds. The tracks were written between January to October 2016. At this time I was finding new ways to approach writing songs; from a technical aspect, I was limiting myself to a single sound source for the material. After an idea had been established I would expand upon it with another sound source to build on the original foundation. In this same period, on a physical level, I had moved house twice as well as traveled to new cities in between. With each movement, I felt better about my surroundings and more comfortable with these journeys to new places. The album’s sounds narrate an expedition into uncharted territory. Each song is a chapter that takes the listener along on this mission.
