Show Notes
Wu Zhuoling (吴卓玲) https://soundcloud.com/zhuoling_wu Music Producer | Live Electronic Artist | DJ | Co-founder of Small Projects Records
A chameleonic pioneer at the forefront of China’s live electronic counterculture, Wu Zhuoling has built a reputation for deeply immersive performances and genre-defying sound. Performing exclusively with hardware, she creates live sets that guide audiences through a fluid sonic journey - from soothing ambient and experimental downtempo to soulful electronica, progressive IDM, and driving leftfield techno.
Her music reflects a distinct artistic identity shaped by her cultural roots and over twenty years of production experience. Before turning to electronic music, Zhuoling was a folk singer and fronted a trip-hop band in the 2000s, an influence still felt in her melodic sensibility and lyrical story-telling. In her current electronic work, she weaves intricate sound design and rhythmic precision with organic warmth, crafting sonic landscapes that feel both progressive and deeply human.
Zhuoling has performed extensively across China’s major clubs, live houses and festivals, as well as at art exhibitions, fashion shows, audiovisual showcases, and open-air venues set against natural landscapes. Her international footprint continues to expand, with tours in New Zealand (2024) and the United States (2025), alongside performances in the Netherlands, Germany, and Japan. Her standing in the Chinese electronic scene is reflected by being invited as support act for the China tours of several renowned international artists such as Max Cooper (2024), Rival Consoles (2026) and Bonobo (2026).
Her acclaimed releases - Another Shore (2022, LP), Uncharted (2023, EP), Reverie (2024, LP) and Uncharted II (2026, EP) - mark her evolution as one of China’s most distinctive voices in live electronic music.

Our podcast number 541 comes from Berlin-based Costanza, a promising new name from the Roman school of DJs. Like many of her hometown peers, she’s a vinyl lover with a soft spot for texture and ambient atmospheres. The mix is a love letter to drums in all their forms, with a taste for both the warmth and the darker shades of techno. A bit like looking into an abyss with the sun on your face.
