about

Houndstooth announce their newest signing, Shanghai-based Taiwanese singer-producer Scintii, with her first single for the label, Times New Roman. Its melancholic 21st century nu-trip hop sound was developed with guest producer Danny L Harle (PC Music, Charli XCX), and is backed by a quartet of remixes by Mechatok, Palmistry, Loraine James and Osheyack.

'Times New Roman' is Scintii's first release since her second EP, Aerial/Paperbags, on SVBKVLT in 2018, and marks a step up from the wistfulness of her previous EPs to a tougher, deeper sound.

"Times New Roman is one of the main languages used in graphic design," Scintii explains, "and this song is about finding that language for myself as an artist."

Scintii makes music that is neither obviously for the club nor is it synth-pop, instead forging a cyber-sleek and moody late-night electronica. “I don't really think about genre," she says, "I think about what I'm trying to communicate – an atmosphere, or an emotion"

The track was co-written with PC Music producer and musician, Danny L Harle on a trip to London in summer of 2019, after Harle invited her to his studio to record some sessions. "The main melody came to me while wandering round a shopping mall," she says, "but I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Then I had the session with Danny and it just worked with the beat he was making. It really started to become about me feeling sure of myself as a musician and producer, going in a new direction and really being able to maximise my own voice."

Times New Roman is loaded with remixes, from the cream of current underground club music producers. Former SVBKVLT label mate Osheyack shakes out its hard lines in classic trance stabs; Mechatok ups its saturation for a bouncing hardcore version; hyped London producer Loraine James takes the track apart by stems and re-plaits them into glitched-out IDM, and Palmistry (who just worked on a track with Charli XCX) chases rushing synths before dropping into a bubblegum breaks.

With such instantly recognisable vocals, and a sound that is rooted in neither London nor Shanghai, Times New Roman marks Scintii out as one to watch.

All tracks written, composed & performed by Stella Chung.
Remixes by Osheyack, Mechatok, Loraine James & Palmistry
