Over the past ten years the producer has evolved from an avid club-goer to a key member of the vital soundscape that emerged from ALL Club and its predecessor, the now defunct club The Shelter. As hinted by the title, which draws on American social theorist Michael Warner’s work on publics and counterpublics, the album expresses a commitment to mining the utopian potential of club music, forging new worlds and generating future social relations, just as the artist bids farewell to the city at a moment of uncertain transition.
在过去的十年里，这位制作人已经从一个狂热的俱乐部观众演变为ALL俱乐部及其前身–现已解散的俱乐部The Shelter–所产生的重要声景的关键成员。正如专辑名称所暗示的那样，它借鉴了美国社会理论家Michael Warner关于公众和反公众的工作，专辑表达了对挖掘俱乐部音乐的乌托邦潜力的承诺，打造新的世界并产生未来的社会关系，正如艺术家在不确定的过渡时刻向城市告别一样。
While tracks like ‘Edging’ and ‘Thrall’ continue to present his signature collage of harder club music, the rest of the record reveals a shift to synthetic approximations of acoustic instruments. ‘Still’, the central track of the album, is a piece composed almost entirely of samples found on Vocaloid (a vocal synthesizer developed by Yamaha, commonly used to give voice to Japanese virtual idols). While echoing themes explored in previous projects, like the nature of realism and authenticity in a techno- mediated landscape, Intimate Publics is charged with an unexpected emotional candor and vulnerability, unveiling a personal side Osheyack is only beginning to explore.
虽然像《Edging》和《Thrall》这样的曲目继续呈现他标志性的拼贴硬朗的俱乐部音乐，但唱片的其余部分显示了向合成近似声学乐器的转变。Still》，专辑的中心曲目，是一首几乎完全由Vocaloid（雅马哈开发的人声合成器，通常用于为日本虚拟偶像配音）上的样本组成的作品。虽然呼应了在以前的项目中探索的主题，比如在技术媒介化的环境中的现实主义和真实性的本质，但《亲密的公众》充满了意想不到的情感的坦率和脆弱，揭示了Osheyack才开始探索的个人一面。

Qiu Xiaofei (Cover artist)
b. 1977, Harbin, China
Qiu Xiaofei’s paintings—along with related drawings, sculptures, and installations—evoke a dreamlike state of memory and awaken the potentials of perception that are hidden in the depths of the mind.
His current multi-disciplinary work combines drawings with sculptures and act as a chronological recorder of the artists’ history. As he explores various parts of his memory or “thought diversions” as Qiu Xiaofei calls them, they allow him to delve deeper into his “procedural, subconscious and personal experiences.”
Qiu’s work has been featured in major group exhibitions internationally, including Back, Beijing Contemporary Art Museum (2001); Mahjong: Contemporary Chinese Art from the Sigg Collection, Kunstmuseum Bern, Switzerland (2005); The Real Thing: Contemporary Art from China, Tate Liverpool (2007); ON | OFF: China’s Young Artists in Concept & Practice, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing (2013); My Generation: Young Chinese Artists, exhibited jointly by the Tampa Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, Florida (2014); and Discipline with Master’ s Dignity – Teaching & Research, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing (2018).
