BING JI LING
June Degrees In December
(To The Curb Productions)

“If Sly was a one-man family or if Beck and Prince took a double dip, it would taste something like this.” – Pitchfork



Bing Ji Ling is Quinn Luke, a NYC-based artist with a rich legacy of work behind and in front of him. Recent work includes producing art funk outfit Tussle (and forming the Expanding Head Band with Tussle’s Alexis Georgopoulos.) Luke has also remixed Honeycut and Curumin (Quanum Projects), has multiple production/remixing/side projects on DFA, Smalltown Supersound, Dis-Joint, Ubiquity Records, Om Records, and Cochon Records and has collaborated with The Rondo Brothers and Blackalicious.



As Bing Ji Ling, Luke has released two LPs. His latest is both a continuation of Luke’s pure “soul pop” and a departure. If vintage soul and funk and an over-the-top persona defined his first releases, June Degrees finds Luke bringing his taste for yacht rock and 80s R&B into the mix and a tempering of his extreme persona. Be sure to catch Bing Ji Ling at SXSW this year where he will bring the dance party to the Quannum Records showcase and the Ubiquity Records showcase.



“June Degrees In December revels in upbeat, cheery tunes without languishing in commercial clichés. The biggest problem with this album, however, is that at five songs, it’s just too short. Just when you’ve gotten acclimated to Bing’s candy-coated groove, the disc ends, forcing an unwelcome return to reality.” – XLR8R
