Belgium based producer Bolis Pupul’s music is a joyous cross-cultural assemblage. Mixing widescreen electronica with clean-lined synth pop.
Queen Bee recently spoke with Pupul about his new debut solo album, Letter to Yu. Tune in on Tuesday, August 13th at 11:30am to hear their conversation before Bolis plays Cafe du Nord in SF later that same evening.
Touching upon some of life’s big themes – memory, loss, family and coming to terms and making peace with all of that – the album is a resounding audio triumph. It reconciles the competing sonic strands that make up Bolis’ aesthetic – his European and Asian roots, alongside the overarching presence of the twin American pillars of Detroit techno and Chicago house – in a manner that is pleasingly familiar and creatively inventive.
