Hentai idol; Otaku purity, QQBBG is the Hong-Kong based artist subverting orientalist fantasies.
‘Virtual Love 虛擬恋愛’ is the EP’s tender moment: a wistful love song for flying high to past romances.
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.
