"Tan Qi" ("Explore the Unusual") is the first album from' The Beijing Gang' which consists of a number of high profile Chinese classical musicians and producer / composer Chris Bemand. Tan Qi is a clever, quirky fusion of classical Chinese instruments paired with contemporary beats as has ever been heard before. Chris recorded in Beijing with a handful of virtuoso musicians from Peking Opera and the resulting blend is original and unique "a simply breath-taking introduction to the new project by a true innovator"- 9/10 William Munn "original and quirky enough to be pretty much unique" - 8/10 DJ Times "can't imagine a better sound for the first day in the winter"- Electro Boogie Encounter " the beats bend to the classical Chinese, rather than the other way around. The whole is rather lovely".-Acid Ted "absolutely fascinating..." - The Tune

A stylish amalgam of jazzy sophisti-pop, Motown, swinging '60s rock, trip hop and contemporary soul.

A masterpiece of jazzy beats and dope grooves. Mellow enough to just put on and All the best elements of classic hip-hop (808 boom bap), jazz (tinkling keys and tight drums), funk (tasty guitar licks), and techno (909/electronic warbles) and cooked them up in a heady, irresistible brew of modern dance music spiced up with a dash of African riddims.
