This winter Live Beijing Music has invited two bands – from Xi’an and Wuhan – to make the pilgrimage over to Beijing and light up the scene for one night only. The young Xi’an singer-songwriter WestByWest (named after the famed Hitchcock joint North By Northwest) blew up this year with her sensual trip-hop debut. Utilizing an array of modular synthesizers and vocal sampling in the arrangements, while the aesthetics of WestByWest’s music is digital in a large sense, the emotion is purely organic, evoking a rigid cold serving of haunting beauty and resonating lyricism that lingers long after. Out of Wuhan comes electro rockers Cod New, who have over the last few years become one of the city’s busiest acts – playing everything from festivals to opening for heavyweight groups like Ratatat – their sound finds the ‘balance between electronic samples, musical instruments and all its possibilities only to then restructure that sound into the real world’. Local support comes in the form of Nocturnes, one of the city’s hardest working groups – the indielectronic duo has been on a tear since their dropped their LP last year – full slick downbeat grooves that ripple outwards, ghostly vocals weighed down in emotion, and a keen sense of the bittersweet beauty found in anguish and sorrow.

WestByWest 西偏西 (Xi’an 西安, Trip Hop)
WestByWest是西安电子乐的新星，2018年7月发行了个人首张EP《哪呢》。在此前后，WBW曾出演草莓音乐节、豆瓣音乐及各大LiveHouse专场活动。WBW的现场是摇滚精神和电子的融合，富有情绪和张力的表演，伴随着时而缓慢时而跳动的节奏，给观众带来视觉和听觉的双重享受。
词曲创作者及歌手“WestByWest”，艺名灵感源自导演希区柯克的电影《西北偏北》。
WestByWest歌曲的创作和发展受到Thom Yorke、Nirvana、Lana Del Rey等艺人的影响，通过与制作人及众多优秀乐手的交流合作中逐渐绘制出以摇滚精神为支撑，trip-hop为表现形式的音乐声景。
丰富多变的唱腔与WBW的思维方式如出一辙，这归结于多年来对于音乐审美的培养和想象力的塑造。创作音乐和设计演出是作为个体思考过程中的一个具象反映，绕开“形而下”的表演和盲目对风格的追求，WBW通过极具识别度与不可复制性的表演赋予舞台和观众最为原始的冲击。
通过每一个字眼和每一个音符的落定来总结自己对现实世界的看法和态度法是所有创作者的本能驱使，而能够公之于众的作品更是演唱者塑造出的另一个化身，WestByWest的歌曲作品里所展现的复杂情绪和疑问无非是渴望对藏在音乐背后的自己一探究竟。

Cod New (Wuhan 武汉, Electro Rock, Post Rock)
Cod New – Atoms来自LiveBeijingMusic
吉他/主唱/合成器：大飞
贝司：小巍
鼓：潇潇
Structure of the world is cold and precise with humanity shuttling therein. Our band attempts to find a balance between the electronic samples and musical instruments to excavate the sound’s possibilities, and then restructure the sound of the real world.
“世界的构造精密冰冷，人性穿梭其中。在电子采样与真实器乐中找寻平衡，挖掘声音的可能，构造声音中世界的模样，It’s Cod New。”
融合电子、实验与后朋的Cod New是武汉最为活跃的先锋电子乐队。
缜密、建筑化、形而上的创作动机，构成了他们对音乐和世界的严肃思考。他们的现场以失真吉他、细碎迷离的鼓点和层次丰富的合成器，构建出深入骨髓的机械感。在看似冰冷的逻辑之外，真实温暖的吉他与多元的低频电子则更有一种温暖的力量，却又带你转身扎进另一个寒冷凛冽的旋涡。
最近正在录制全新专辑的CodNew现场，总能收获到令人惊喜的新作品，那是伴随着冷静与沉着的律动。
Nocturnes 曳取 (Beijing 北京, Indie-electronic)
Nocturnes曳取是一支来自中国北京的独立电子乐队。他们的音乐动情迷人，氛围感和沉浸感极强，被乐迷认为兼顾了Foals的情怀力道，Bonobo的灵动迷幻，以及Coldplay的流行张力。 Nocturnes are an Indie-Electronic band based in Beijing, China. Their music has been described as “emotional”,”sultry”,”atmospheric” and”immersive”, and sits somewhere between the intensity of Foals, the electronic elements of Bonobo and the pop sensibilities of Coldplay.
为宣传新专辑，曳取在2018年初进行首次全国巡演，在包括北上广的13个城市中获得了现场乐迷的喜爱。在10月9日，曳取推出新单《私人情绪》（Any Kind of Mood）。在今年年底，他们将继续6个城市的秋季巡演，并在明年春天进行欧洲的多城巡演。 In support of their album Lines Written in Code, Nocturnes曳取 embarked on their first tour of China in mid-2018, playing over 13 cities including sold-out shows in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Their newest single, Any Kind of Mood, was released on the 9th of September. The band will be launching a 6-city tour in support of the song in late 2018, followed by their first Europe tour early next year.
