CONTENT.NET.AU presents: Blood Lotus' Middle Of The Night Album Launch at the Norla Dome, Mission to Seafarers. Live sets by Blood Lotus (with Kuya Neil, Voidhood and Zhi Ma), with supports from Nū and Sui Zhen. Saturday 26th September 2026 Doors 7pm, Music from 8pm. "With musical nods to FKA twigs, Kelela and Arca, Middle Of The Night is a borderless record that fuses experimental electronic music, alternative R&B, avant-garde pop, and traditional Chinese melodies. Pushing beyond conventional genre parameters, the record is shaped by Blood Lotus' interest in the concept of Asia-futurism: a creative framework that reinterprets ancient musical histories through contemporary electronic music. Drawing on her studies of traditional pentatonic scales from musical traditions across Asia (particularly within Sino-linguistic regions) alongside her practice as a guzheng player and intimate vocal delivery, Blood Lotus reimagines these musical systems by translating them into a whole new sonic world. Produced in collaboration with Kuya Neil and Voidhood, Middle Of The Night was written between Melbourne and Taipei, emerging almost entirely in the middle of the night through the process of voice notes containing lyrics and melodies assembled in bedrooms, hotel rooms, recording studios, on long walks, during late-night phone calls, and on public transport throughout several summers spent between the two cities. Bound by her strengths as a creative, the album layers intimate vocals, synths, strings, intricate rhythms, and textural production together to detail the complexity of transition and human emotion."
