JIALING – ME THINKS
2025-08-11Baltimore-born, Brooklyn-based, BIG J herself, JIALING joins forces with Sorry Records for a floorshaking 4-track exploration of everything from big room latin hard house to queer vocal slammers, and plenty of breaks and bass in between.
I met Jialing on New Years Eve Eve 2021 at Bossa here in Brooklyn. It was like 2am on a Thursday night, mid-way through “Breaks in America” – our first ever dedicated breaks night with our friend SWAP MEET! and Kindergarten Records/Sorry favorite Drummy b2b myself. I’ve got a distinct memory of Jialing introducing herself and saying “I came because you said breaks! I love breaks!” I remember being struck by her unpretentious enthusiasm (especially considering she was still based in Baltimore back then and was routinely making the trek to NYC for local club nights like ours).
