Qqbbg

I only believe in YOU.

Hentai idol; Otaku purity, QQBBG is the Hong-Kong based artist subverting orientalist fantasies.

Hong Kong is a city poised between worlds, and QQBBG’s art is an embodiment of her hometown’s spirit. As indebted to Japanese Idol culture as to the Hardcore Continuum, QQBBG blends the escapist fantasies of Hentai and Manga with the jagged textures of deconstructed club. Drawing from the vocabulary of the global URL generation, QQBBG’s chants thirst traps & voicemail blowouts to their figurative event horizon - breaking them down until they take on new meaning.

Working with a global cast of producers, including London&#39;s Backlit (<a href="spotify:artist:5DTUVDQxl5fDiY2plzFP9R" data-name="Air Max '97">Air Max '97</a>), Mexico&#39;s <a href="spotify:artist:33JoNgFImFPpjaX4drXLI2" data-name="Future Otaku">Future Otaku</a> &amp; Hong Kong&#39;s Mixjointings and <a href="spotify:artist:0vK3X8rblaNeXrf3yNnnV3" data-name="ASJ">ASJ</a>, QQBBG creates a sonic utopia where Gabber heartbeats thump alongside vapourwave haze. E-girl artifiacts filter through her sound: all kawaii intonations &amp; anime catchphrases, but QQBBG&#39;s music is underpinned by a darker tension - one that acknowledges the racialized gaze that such aesthetics trades on. QQBBG’s music is sweet until it kills you.
