Do you know Open Changdong (OPCD)? It is a musician creation support platform that supports new musicians based in Chang-dong, Dobong-gu with support from Dobong-gu Office. We operate a collaborative studio, lounge, recording studio, video room, and music listening room, and regularly hold song camps and seminars.
Is this by any chance promotional content? No, I’m serious, I didn’t receive any money. There aren’t many places that are as serious about supporting musicians as this one. I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t know this, but if you’re a musician, be sure to check the Open Changdong website to see if there are any events you can participate in.
By the way, why did you suddenly bring up the story of Open Changdong? [Deep Dialogue], a compilation album by musicians gathered at Open Changdong, has been released this time. A total of 11 people worked on the project with Deepflow, including Frntz, JINHYEOP, Devi Ken, KEZ, Auve, ALICE U, SANHA, max, TACK, Bloop, and ChanKy.
In particular, track 3, “She (Prod. Bloop)”, is a track I would like to recommend to those who like R&B. It’s an impressive song with a beat that feels like a heavy swing. ALICE U’s clear verse and hook, JINHYEOP’s clean rap, and Sanha’s vocals accompanied by beat switching are really fun.
Okoye, who was recently nominated for Handaeum, also went through Open Changdong. I hope Changdong becomes a new base for black music musicians, following Hongdae and Itaewon. I’m rooting for you. Open Changdong.
