LIE NING is one of the most exciting voices in Germany right now. The Berlin-based artist seamlessly blends music, fashion and dance into his alternative pop sound, firmly rooted in the queer music scene. He’s not just a musician, but also works as an art director, dancer and model. Openly speaking on identity, race and belonging in Germany, he remains unapologetically himself — something that shines through in both his presence and his music.

On his latest EP bullfight, he teams up with French artist Eugénie. Together they deliver ‘belly of the beast’. The production leans into a more rhythmic, dance-driven sound, creating the perfect base for LIE NING to bring all his artistic layers together. It’s the kind of track that instantly makes you want to see it translated into a live dance performance.

The title traditionally refers to being inside a system of power, danger or oppression — hinting at the deeper meaning behind the track. The duo proves to be a perfect match, leaving us hoping this won’t be their last collaboration.
