In 2004, Sub Jam established it’s sub-label Kwanyin Records.
In 2010 Kwanyin starts the “Mini Kwanyin” series.
CDR, limited copies, unified packages, hand produced.
The value of CD (or CDR, vinyl etc) is not just as the medium of music but how it builds a relationship with people.
This is a series of guerrilla publishing – it’s awaking more sounds.
Compiled by Yan Jun and co-released with Mini Kwanyin (China) and tenzenmen (Australia)

In transferring their powerful live act to disc on their latest recordings — “Never Sever” and “LP” — X is Y have taken a self-consciously pious DIY approach, endeavoring to capture and convey the honest minutiae of recorded performance with the intensity of emotional surrender.
The four tracks here are the Never Sever EP. Buy the CD package to also receive the first album on CD.
Never Sever was originally released thru our great pals at miniless – mini019.
