Volume XII - China Footwork Compilation | 菜谱第12部合辑
Seippelabel Vol. 12 showcases footwork artists from China and those connected to the country. It is the successor of our 2018 Seippelabel Vol. 10 compilation containing tracks from artists in the genre. The collection encapsulates the styles of juke, experimental, 160 electronic, and left-field club music that bubble around footwork as a genre. It represents the current scene these producers are a part of, and it represents how footwork is slowly but surely still growing.
