KIM BO YEON & SUMAN

Ameniia / Faust [ KR ]  

作为一个有十年经验的House/Minimal 的DJ，Kim善于刻画永恒的音乐场景，浓烈的情感表达，粗糙直白的混音和永远的激情融合各种音乐，Kim不愿多放各类红曲，更愿意set 带有个人色彩和自我意识，目前Kim活跃于Faust 俱乐部，他制作的单曲“Gajae"获得优异的评价。

Kim Bo Yeon’s love affair with all things House and Minimal is seeming less. Since he spins regular bases at the MWG (Historical venue in Seoul), he is a dj mostly described as timeless music selection, unexpected transition, rough mixing style behind the deck. Most of all though, his sets are noted for their strong programming, passion integrity and his unwavering ability to uncover hidden gems both new and old.Standing behind deck with records more than 10years, he rather than playing seamless big tracks, more focuses on telling the story with decent record collection.Kim Bo Yeon current residency is at FAUST Club in Seoul where he discovers his distinctive style at the most. At the same time, he continues to evolve and expand his production releasing vinyl only edition on Faust compilation in 2016.

Suman 制作人/DJ,迷恋Techno，House，Deep House等，然而在韩国的俱乐部文化中，这些风格是沉重而陌生的，作为先行者，Suman坚持自己的风格，保持自己的音乐色彩，制作混音，在Faust俱乐部，Suman的音乐赢得大量的掌声和尊重，和国际艺术家的肯定例如Dorisburg, Jennifer Cardini, Rebekah, Alex Smoke, Move D, Stimming, nthng, Bryan Kasenic, Don Williams, Phase 等，如今Suman 是韩国电子音乐的中间力量。

Dj Suman is a Dj who plays and produces music of deep house, tech house, techno and underground house. Dj Suman were engaged to various type of music from a young age and revealed signs of intelligence in techno and house music.Despite the impression of the genre being heavy and unfamiliar in South Korea scene, he maintains his color and expresses his own style of music.As a sincere artist and Dj, he manages to produce his own music, starting from composition to mixing and mastering.Although proving to be a credible producer, DJ, he knows his records the most and is a DJ above all. His music involves various instruments that go well together with house music, producing a rhythmical and addictive music that both the public and manias would enjoy listening to.Meanwhile, he had gained enough experience and respect to earn himself a residency at the most respected club FAUST from its beginning. Playing along side great artists such as Dorisburg, Jennifer Cardini, Rebekah, Alex Smoke, Move D, Stimming, nthng, Bryan Kasenic, Don Williams, Phase and to name a few, he has definitely nailed his color towards local and international audience.Quickly growing to become a staple resident dj in Seoul as it brought a fresh selection of quality house & techno sound. 

中国非教父级DJ，非传奇DJ，闯荡欧洲、日本、韩国、印度非第一人，运营活动厂牌4x4x4x4，开展和世界大陆的电子音乐文化交流，被欧洲，日本，韩国朋友誉为中国最好的DJ，没有之一（因为他们只认识MAX SHEN）。自幼学习民族乐器琵琶，终止于小学三年级，原因是同班美女同学中断了琵琶训练。强烈不喜欢在电子音乐中生硬加入东方不协调乐器，感觉像KTV伴唱。作为英语合格、音乐合格、家境合格的三格青年，毫无疑问MAX SHEN不是中国夜生活文化的开拓者，引领者，和璀璨明珠，他也不想当明珠。

在参与创立了ARKHAM俱乐部之后，他的工作项目是引领众多嘻哈少年回归电子音乐，可惜没有成功。

MAX SHEN 从艺20年，德艺双休，从未在舞台上获得少女的尖叫与认可，通常为他鼓掌喝彩的都是中年男人和妇女。后来发现原来是因为他年轻时，少女喜欢中年成熟，当他中年成熟，少女又喜欢年轻，女人的心思比Techno的转换还要快！曾经在上海郊区大学免费开创电子音乐课程，全班38人，37个男的，到下课一半人在睡觉，随即放弃。

MAX SHEN在中国众多前辈传奇艺人和众多喜欢洒矿泉水的青年俊才中脱颖而出（青年俊才DJ还喜欢叫人在CLUB里蹲下，起立，蹲下，起立，展现当代猴戏），他始终坚持一种虚怀若谷的谦虚精神，认为DJ只是一个工种，和烤羊肉串一样的，他邀请合作国际人不计其数，确从不拍合影。
