A collective from the south of France, the Chinese Man trio, comprising High Ku, Matteo & Sly, have been performing independently since their beginnings on their own label, Chinese Man Records. Formed in 2004, they draw their influences primarily from hip-hop and trip-hop, but also from dub, electro and reggae.
With only 2 albums to their name (Racing with the Sun, in 2011 & Shikantaza, in 2017) but numerous other collective projects (EPs, Remixes, Live, The Groove Sessions...) or solo projects (BOLD, Matteo, Rumble), the band has been playing concerts and festivals in France and around the world since 2009.
The Zénith in Paris in 2014 celebrated the group's 10th anniversary, and the 'The Groove Sessions Live' tour, alongside Baja Frequencia and Scratch Bandits Crew, commemorated their 15th anniversary.
The Chinese Man experience can be discovered on vinyl and extended live... Seeing and experiencing Chinese Man live is always a unique and captivating experience that invites the audience to let go. Having played over 600 dates around the world, the band are back in 2024 for their 3rd album with an even more immersive and explosive live show!
