WAVE.DAO: THE B-SIDES

《WAVE.DAO》這張專輯靈感來自於探索新城市時的音樂隨機播放、90年代的 UK Garage 音樂以及 WADE DAO 在台北成長過程中的舞者經歷。這次專輯風格上與 WADE DAO 之前作品中的印象派歌詞與緩慢循環有所不同，反之，《WAVE.DAO》的節奏感婉如高速汽車追逐——介於一口新鮮空氣和一劑腎上腺素之間——完美適合在舞池上揮灑或在空曠街道上駕駛。《WAVE.DAO》專輯邀請兒時好友、長期合作夥伴的金曲製作人 rgry 操刀製作。 首波主打單曲《OGTFH》的 MV 由 WADE DAO 與動畫藝術家 Gnetiy (張藝騰) 和 Melting Part 共同導演和剪輯，帶來一場台北舞蹈和音樂場景的超現實拼圖，在過去與現在的片段之間的快速切換，似乎在預告著未來即將發生的事... 而我們只有二十四小時可以揭開這一切 (we’ve only got twenty-four hours to find out)。 與此形成對比的是，《LIKE WATER》與 SOWUT 聯手打造了一首憂鬱的 two-step 舞曲，讓人聯想到渡輪在翡翠般的水面上滑行，逃向未知的目的地。《LIKE WATER》的 MV 與 Plack Juice Films 合作導演和拍攝，帶來一場夢幻般的旅程，穿越指引我們走向黑暗與光明的潛意識之流。除此之外專輯的 B-Side 也專為 DJ 收錄加長演奏版 (extended instrumental) 與 rgry 製作的《KWDGD》remix 曲目。 WADE DAO 的作品核心精神是「動」 (movement) 與「導」 (navigation)：每天我們都必須在海海人生中做出選擇——選擇人、選擇時機、選擇時間——就像與這些抉擇共舞一般，《WAVE.DAO》是為那些舞動的人們而創作的作品，獻給所有在人生中跳舞的人。 由跨域潮流文化音樂品牌 Melting Part 共同製作，《WAVE.DAO》將同時推出與台灣街頭品牌 DeMarcoLab 聯名的系列商品、在高空時尚酒吧 CÉ LA VI Taipei 舉行的 pre-listening 派對，由日本 ODD TAPE DUPLICATION 發行的限量卡帶實體專輯，以及由 Melting Part 策畫的實體概念 pop-up 活動。 WAVE.DAO is WADE DAO’s newest project–inspired by the musical shuffle of navigating a new city, 90’s garage, and learning to dance while growing up in Taipei. The project departs from the impressionistic lyrics and languid loops heard on WADE DAO’s previous work. Instead, WAVE.DAO feels like adrenaline–perfect for cutting up dance floors or driving through empty streets. The project is engineered by childhood friend, longtime collaborator, and GMA-nominated producer rgry. OGTFH is the first single from WAVE.DAO: UKG/two-step that feels like a car chase at high speeds–perfect for cutting up dance floors or driving through empty streets. The music video for OGTFH is directed and edited in collaboration with animation artist Gnetiy and Melting Part. It’s a surreal tour through archival footage of friends and family, snapshots of the arts scene in Taipei. In contrast, “LIKE WATER” joins forces with new-wave pioneer Sowut for a melancholic cut, evoking images of a great escape, and ferries gliding across the surface of emerald waters. The MV for “LIKE WATER” is made in collaboration with Plack Juice Films, and presents a dreamlike journey through the subconscious currents guiding us toward dark and light. The album also features a b-side that includes rgry’s remix of “KWDGD” and extended instrumentals for DJs. At the heart of WADE DAO’s work is the spirit of movement and navigation: each day we must map and traverse the sea—of people, of choices, of time and timing—much like a dance with the elements. WAVE.DAO is a project dedicated to the movers, made for everybody dancing. Made in collaboration with Melting Part, “WAVE.DAO” also features a Capsule Collection by DeMarcoLab, a live showcase at CÉ LA VI Taipei, and a limited edition cassette by ODD TAPE DUPLICATION (Japan), and a pop-up curated by Melting Part.
