Amber’s music is one of the few things in the world where cold and warm coexist. Formed in the ancient city Xi ‘an in 2010, Amber has graciously displayed such imprints in their albums.
With a clear and bright timbre that blends traditional spirit and contemporary charm with iconic melodies, Amber is a name you’d love to hear in a post-rock band.

Change is conceived in habit, and action comes after numbness.
The latest album from Salty Mountain, “Retrograde Growth”, contains six new works, charming nostalgia and betrayal that begins in a deep sleep.
The simple structure and wonderful timbre of “Retrograde Growth” are the same as Salty Mountain’s previous works. Deliberately abandoning the lengthy atmosphere of meditation to bring the sense of painting in front of us in a shorter time is Salty Mountain’s new attempt in atmosphere music.
The creation and recording of “Retrograde Growth” was completed in 2022, and the main timbre is analog and semi-modular synthesizer. Write / recording / mixing / master by Salty Mountain in Poitiers, France, and the design is completed by old friend Wang Xu(White+). Release in cassette by 1724 Records(1724081EP).limited to 150 copies.
Including 8 new tracks,shows the new power of Zhaoze,distinct and definitive guqin-laced post-rock is transcendent.
Over the last three years, those unforgettable experiences, ideas, and feelings, now are conveyed through music with the theme of wind.

Zhaoze has a genre of its own. In 2006, Zhaoze began to explore the integration of the ancient Chinese musical instrument – guqin and gradually developed a paradigm of Guqin and rock. Zhaoze, in its unique way, integrates guqin and rock so thoroughly and comprehensively, infusing the sketching and feelings like Chinese landscape painting into their music.
“Zhaoze is China’s Pink Floyd,” says Christoph Borkowsky, founder of WOMEX in Berlin. Rockaxis Colombia named the Zhaoze South American Premiere one of the best performances of 2017, alongside such famous acts as U2 and Sigur Ros.
The Beijing based label, 1724 Records, has steadily been building its fanbase and roster for over fifteen years, focusing on post-rock and ambient music. Unsung and steadfast heroes, they’re going all out with a two night gathering of post rock’s longest standing acts from all across China.
Night one features Kunming based oNEwAY, who started out twenty years ago and have integrated more and more Chinese folk music in their sound. They will join Xi’an heavyweights Amber, whose low-key, slow-burning sound has never sounded better – finding ways to shake up their arrangements with math rock flourishes, ambient electronica, heightened Britpop aplomb, and of course, soaring, ‘bursting at the seams’ crescendos that the genre is so well known for. Post rock heaven.
Night two features Guangzhou juggernauts Zhaoze, whose distinct and definitive guqin-laced post-rock is transcendent. They join Zhangjiajie’s Muggle, who bring an atmospheric mountain-esque beauty to their delicate sound, and Deng Yongpeng, whose seemingly minimalist piano instrumental music has taken on new forms over the years
Amber
Amber’s music is one of the few things in the world where cold and warm coexist. Formed in the ancient city Xi ‘an in 2010, Amber has graciously displayed such imprints in their albums.
With a clear and bright timbre that blends traditional spirit and contemporary charm with iconic melodies, Amber is a name you’d love to hear in a post-rock band.
oNEwAY
The band started in 2003 or earlier by Wangwei, in Kunming, Yunnan. The band took shape on National Day in 2006. They have melodies and soundscapes that you can indulge in.
At present, oNEwAY puts its creative direction under the framework of instrumental music and post-rock and focuses on the experiment and exploration of organic integration of Chinese folk music elements and modern music elements, and in the future, it will be much more than that.
Muggle
Muggle is a music project that began in Zhangjiajie, a small city in western Hunan Province, China, with compositions involving elements such as post-rock and ambient.
Muggle was nominated for Record of the Year by Abilu Music Awards and featured by Apple Music. It is called “dreamy, even dazzling” by music critics both at home and abroad.
Deng Yonpeng
In addition to being the keyboardist of the band Summer Fades Away, Deng Yongpeng is also an excellent piano player and creator.
The project all began in his youth, accompanied by the noise of factories, nurtured in the streets of Changsha, and was gathered in 2014 because of the album If Changsha is What You Imagine, then I was Never Here. The album includes 5 original minimalist piano pieces, about the glory of youth passing away, but also another voice away from the noise. It was released by 1724 Records.
Deng Yongpeng’s work continues.

Zhaoze has a genre of its own. In 2006, Zhaoze began to explore the integration of the ancient Chinese musical instrument – guqin and gradually developed a paradigm of Guqin and rock.

The single tone of the guitar is embellished with no more embellishments, embellished on a slow and powerful extensive sweep, and a higher scale appears, like a new discovery.
The power of growth is unstoppable. New information, hope, and life are all possible.
As the Intro song of “Boundary of Time”, “Seeds” not only continues the distinct listening sense of Amber（琥珀）, but also integrates the elements of Minimal and the attempts of producer Yan Shuai in the electronic and experimental direction.
At this small, gentle starting point, change has been conceived.
