AA alumnus Anthony Ko (AADipl 2017) has produced a podcast 'Postcards from China' for the China-Britain Business Council’s UK-China Consumer Week 2021, for Eastern Margins. Based on a line inquiry beginning at the AA, the piece examines the cultural context of China's diverse creative scene and youth culture. Eastern Margins is an event's platform and record label showcasing music for East & South-East Asia and the diaspora.

'Postcards from China is a journey of new perspectives and inspiration through the lens of music from different corners of China’s vast contemporary creative scene and youth culture today. A collection of interviews, beats and soundscapes, we dive into the intersection of music and tradition with TempleRat from Nanchong, before zooming through the impact of rapid urbanisation on the electronic scene in Shenzhen by Warmchainss. British-born artist Harikiri explains how he infiltrated and helped build the rap scene in Chengdu and finally, Shanghai native Difan provides insight into the impact of China’s breakneck digital-tech innovation on music.'
