The cult-favourite collaboration of Beijing’s Gong Gong Gong and Taipei’s Mong Tong, Mongkok Duel is finally available outside of Asia! The cinematic instrumental LP captures the two duos building a shared language of cyclical motorik rhythms, shapeshifting drone, snarling guitar and growling bass hooks. Imagined as the score to a lost kung-fu film, these are sonic accompaniments, no doubt, to a supernatural tale of honour, intrigue, and (of course) revenge.

The Wire called Mongkok Duel “Some of the best psychedelic sounds that Asia has to offer… Hypnotic, full of intrigue... connecting the pentatonic dots between blues and traditional Chinese melodies [with] phantom rhythms, keys and breakbeats.”

Written and recorded live at the legendary President Piano Co. rehearsal rooms in Mongkok, Hong Kong, the bands played the studios’ own instruments and amplifiers, which date back to President Piano Co.’s foundation in 1978. The studio’s recording setup is a unique system designed and set up by owner Mr. Lee King Yat.
