Jialing is releasing a new EP, ‘WUPS!’.
The four-tracker lands on 8th August via New York’s Sorry Records and is described as a “floorshaking exploration of big room Latin house, queer vocal slammers, and plenty of breaks and bass in between”.
Check out the first track to be shared from the EP, ‘NINE OH NINE’, below. You can a pre-order a copy of ‘WUPS!’ from Bandcamp here.
Announcing the release in an Instagram post, Jialing wrote: “I wrote these demos after I lost my laptop and harddrive on the MTA (big WUPS!) and wanted to quit but then realized that life’s too short so f it I just wanna have fun and release music every month. Oops I’m really not perfect. I’m sorry.”
The new EP follows the Baltimore-born, New York-based Taiwanese-American producer’s recent single ‘SETMEFREE’, the fifth edition of their ‘CLUB TOOLS’ series, and the ‘BLIZZARD’ EP from earlier this year, as well as last November’s collaborative ‘WOE’ release with Kade Young.
Last July, Jialing dropped the ‘FREAKY HORNS’ EP on Clasico Records.
