My Name is Meng Qi
My Name is Meng Qi.
I make various kind of music, mostly Drum n'Bass.
And I do live set performance.

From now on I will update my news in the blog section. Check the blog
if you want to know the most recent news of me.
My 1st album "Landscape In
Love" is of some pretty experimental melodic dnb/breaks. You can not hear
those normal dnb elements and structures in this album. I've tried to combine traditional
chinese music elements with dnb/breaks.
My 2nd album "Landscape On Live" is a
live set style remix of my 1st album. Many new elements were added. It is one long song
for 50+ mins. You can only have the whole image if you listen to it from the beginning to
the end. Accroding to some comments I heard from my friends, it is not a hard thing to do.
