Fresh off the back of a debut album with sidekick Charlotte Adigery Belgium-Chinese musician Bolis Pupul explores themes of heritage and identity on his new solo two-track 12-inch 'Neon Buddha' - out 6th May via Soulwax's Deewee. Mixing widescreen electronica - think early Mr Fingers-like techno and Yellow Magic Orchestra's exuberant man-machine minimalism - with the warm-hearted and wonky naivete of Belgian New Beat, Bolis' singular sonics are at once playful emotive unrelenting and tender. The title track is inspired by a dream Bolis had of a pagoda in Hong Kong featuring a contemplative Buddha made of neon lights. The music is similarly bright and exciting - an insistent acid squiggle giving the track the requisite Weatherall-friendly A Love from Outer Space chug.Housed in a UV Gloss sleeve with a printed inner.
