8月29日，周六，PRETTY COLD!

PRETTY COLD 

Coldwave, Dark Synth, EBM

我们正摆脱这“史无前例的时刻”，PRETTY COLD 也重回 Dada Beijing 的舞池，放点情感隔离的音乐。

出于对Cold Wave, Post Punk和EBM等音乐的共同爱好，四个来自不同国家和背景的DJ组建了DJ小组Pretty Cold，在当代中国的音景中，致力于为那些鲜为人知的阴暗合成音乐和工业电子乐开辟一方空间。

DJs: Edna Ether (US), Kyle Page (US), Xu Ran (NL), Zeïn (CN)

PRETTY COLD

Coldwave, Dark Synth, EBM

As we emerge from "these unprecedented times", PRETTY COLD returns to Dada Beijing with the perfect soundtrack for emotional distancing. 

PRETTY COLD is a numbered and collector-complete set of authentic late 20th century human animals. Though primarily solitary and nocturnal they can be induced to sociability through a shared love of cold wave, post punk, and EBM. Properly fed and watered they can be expected to explore the boundaries of dark synth and electro-industrial rhythm. May not be suitable for families with small children or light sleepers.

DJs: Edna Ether (US), Kyle Page (US), Xu Ran (NL), Zeïn (CN)

Edna Ether

奥斯汀原住民 Edna Ether 在2015年带着她来自南德克萨斯的焦灼的沙子与炙晒的骨头来到了北京这个钢筋沙漠。给前男友们买合成器买到厌烦的她，开始在华雷兹——这个世界知名的犯罪之城的无数个失眠的夜里，建立属于自己的极度珍稀的合成器音乐播放列表。你绝对不能错过她的 sets——混合了超自然的情欲，以及好莱坞异教徒笑气的滋滋作响。

Austin native Edna Ether has been bringing the sounds of the scorched sands and sun-bleached bones of her native South Texas to the concrete desert of Beijing since 2015. Tired of buying synthesizers for ex-boyfriends she started crafting her own rarest–of-rarewave playlists over countless sleepless nights in Ciudad Juarez –the murder capital of the world. Her sets blending occult sensuality and the nitrous buzz of pagan Hollywood are not to be missed. 

Kyle Page

Kyle Page 的DJ生涯起始于奥运前北京后街里的廉价酒吧。十几年间他一直痴迷于探索咬牙切齿的合成器朋克、阴暗的80年代合成器音乐和复古未来之声，并与众多北京派对团体合作，如 Tag Record 的“独立之夜”和“黑眼线” ，以及播出电台节目、制作产品与编程。

Kyle Page got his start DJng in the back-street dive bars of pre-Olympic Beijing. He has spent over a decade exploring his obsession with saw-tooth synthpunk, dark 80s wave, and retro-future sounds alongside Beijing party crews such as Tag Team Record's INDIE NIGHT and Black Eyeliner, as well as through broadcast radio, production and programming.

徐冉 XU RAN

从00年代初，徐冉就已经深深地卷入了荷兰的音乐场景。身为传奇派对 Hex 和 Neerslag 的驻场DJ，他嗜好极简焦躁和愉悦浪潮。同时他还组织国际乐队在荷兰的“占屋”和地下俱乐部演出，并担任演出DJ。作为音乐人，他在荷兰厂牌 Enfant Terrible 发行了极简合成器作品。搬来北京后，他的个人音乐计划聚焦于阈限音乐。也是“一路疯狂，一路辉煌”的成员之一。

Since the early 2000's Xu Ran has been involved in the Dutch music scene, playing minimal angst and upbeat wave as resident DJ for the renowned Hex and Neerslag parties, as well as booking international acts for and DJing at squats and underground clubs around Holland. As an artist he released minimal synth pieces on Dutch record label Enfant Terrible, and has been focusing on liminal music with his solo project since moving to Beijing. Also a member of the Frenzy & Glory Initiative.

ZEÏN

DJ与当代艺术从业者。带着早年哥特与后工业亚文化的深远影响，Zeïn 的DJ经历起始于2012年巴黎 minimal wave 地下场景，并且在持续挖掘着被人忽视且极度冷门的合成器音乐。她的 set 有着粗粝的冲击力，游移于 Darkwave, EBM, New Beat, Post Punk 和 Coldwave 之间，是冰冷的，阴暗的，沉重的，并且过时的。

DJ, also engaged in contemporary art. Deeply influenced by Gothic and Post-Industrial subcultures at an early age, Zeïn's DJ career began in Paris' 2012 underground Minimal Wave scene. To this day, she continues to dig out obscure synth music that has been neglected in China until now. Her DJ sets are harsh, moving between Darkwave, EBM, New Beat, Post Punk and Coldwave. Cold, obscure, heavy and out of time.
