Hentai idol; Otaku purity, QQBBG is the Hong-Kong based artist subverting orientalist fantasies.
Enter QQBBG's portal with Ring! Ring! Ring! 愛してる’, a crystalline dream which reveals a twisted love below the saccharine surface.
As indebted to Japanese Idol culture as she is to the Hardcore Continuum, QQBBG’s world blends the escapist fantasies of Hentai and Manga with the jagged textures of deconstructed club. Drawing from the vocabulary of the global URL generation, QQBBG’s stretches whispered thirst traps & voicemail blowouts to their figurative event horizon - breaking them down until they take on new meaning.

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
