The Pocket Apprentice
For our February (ニ月) Tsubaki FM show we invite a Lodon-based chinese dancer and DJ, The pocket apprentice, aka Harry Shi!
The name "The Pocket Apprentice" is his tribute to all the great musicians, dancers, and DJs for being in the pocket and inspiring dancers to move within it. In humbleness to these greats and the club culture, Harry felt that learning how to feel and be in the pocket would be an endless process, hence the name of the Pocket apprentice.
For this two-hour vinyl set, the pocket apprentice featured his most recent inspirations, legends from the bebop and hard bop era with some Latin twists. The agenda of this set is to showcase how the feel of “swing” has been redefined by polyrhythmic musicians (drummers in particular).
