Wild City

American-born, Beijing-based artist thruoutin has a sound that is instantly recognisable. With work varying from project to project, thruoutin’s singular take on electronic music focuses on organic, lush noise. The electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist has been based in China since 2009 and has toured a multitude of countries in Asia as well as various cities in the US and Canada - featuring on several Chinese and international labels. After piquing our interest with a few submissions, thruoutin came through with a mix for Wild City. Just shy of an hour, this exquisite mix is full of songs you’re never going to hear anywhere else.
