The HU say new music is on the way and dig into their Metallica ‘Blacklist’ contribution www.audacy.com

Mongolian rockers The HU have spent their entire lives honing their sound. Even though they only formed a few years ago, it’s been in the works since their childhood.
For new listeners, the first thing they’ll notice is the use of traditional Mongolian instrumentation as well as the use of Mongolian throat singing in their music. While their music contains many Rock and Metal elements, The HU are proud to be able to incorporate the traditional sounds of their homeland to share with the world.
“We’re so proud of ourselves and so grateful to share our culture with the world,” they told Audacy’s Taryn Daly. That includes throat singing, an art which they’ve been practicing from the time they were kids. “It’s a very hard art to master,” they said. “It takes time and a lot of hard work. You start at a young age.”
Each member of The HU has been hard at work honing their craft their entire lives. “Every one of us went to music school from a young age and put in years and years of hard work,” they said. Their families have been supporting them since the very beginning, but now that they’ve gained international acclaim it’s an extra special feeling. “They know we’ve worked so hard for this. Everybody’s happy for us and what we’ve accomplished. We get a lot of support from them,” they said.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced The HU to halt their travels and head back home. Despite the circumstances, they made the best of it. “During the pandemic we were home and weren’t able to tour, but were able to work on our second album,” they said.
“Right before we left for this tour, we finished up the recordings and there will be so many great songs because we had time to perfect the song we were looking for. Hopefully you’ll be able to hear it soon.”
As The HU gets back on the road again, they’re bringing along a new song to their set that fans will likely recognize. Their cover of Metallica. “From such a young age, we’ve loved Metallica,” they told Daly. “When we started the band and began doing interviews, people would ask ‘what’s your dream tour?’ We always said Metallica.”
The HU had a full circle moment when they were selected as one of the artists to contribute a cover on Metallica’s Blacklist project, a 53-song set of covers celebrating the Black Album. The HU lended their hand with a cover of “Through The Never.”
How did the end up as part of the Blacklist project? Well, sometimes you just have to dream. “When you dream and want something so hard, the universe makes it happen,” they said. “That’s how we were able to be a part of the Blacklist and are honored to be a part with Metallica.”

Mongolia makes progress with its ‘e-nation’ transition www.budde.com.au

Mongolia‘s liberalised and competitive telecoms market is by a number of operators which have steadily eroded the dominance of the incumbent telco, Mongolia Telecom, over the years.
Fixed-line penetration increased steadily in the years to 2018 as more people took on fixed-line access for voice calls and to access copper-based broadband services. However, the number of lines fell in 2019, and again and more sharply in 2020, partly through the economic consequences of the pandemic (GDP fell 5.3% in 2020, year-on-year) and partly due to the migration to the mobile platform and to VoIP.
Fixed broadband penetration remains low, mainly due to a limited number of fixed lines and the dominance of the mobile platform. The attraction of fixed broadband as a preferred access where it is available is waning as the mobile networks are upgraded with greater capacity and capabilities.
The growing popularity of mobile broadband continues to underpin overall broadband and telecom sector growth, with Mongolia’s market very much being dominated by mobile services, supported by widely available LTE. This will largely determine and shape the future direction of Mongolia’s developing digital economy.
BuddeComm notes that the outbreak of the pandemic continues to have a significant impact on production and supply chains globally. During the coming year the telecoms sector to various degrees is likely to experience a downturn in mobile device production, while it may also be difficult for network operators to manage workflows when maintaining and upgrading existing infrastructure.
Overall progress towards 5G may be postponed or slowed down in some countries.
On the consumer side, spending on telecoms services and devices is under pressure from the financial effect of large-scale job losses and the consequent restriction on disposable incomes. However, the crucial nature of telecom services, both for general communication as well as a tool for home-working, will offset such pressures. In many markets the net effect should be a steady though reduced increased in subscriber growth.
Although it is challenging to predict and interpret the long-term impacts of the crisis as it develops, these have been acknowledged in the industry forecasts contained in this report.
The report also covers the responses of the telecom operators as well as government agencies and regulators as they react to the crisis to ensure that citizens can continue to make optimum use of telecom services. This can be reflected in subsidy schemes and the promotion of tele-health and tele-education, among other solutions.
Key Developments:
Regulator enables online licensing application process as part of an ‘e-nation’ transition;
KT Corp completes sale of its 40% stake in Telecom Mongolia to the state;
MobiCom expands reach of LTE-A services, trials 5G;
Report update includes an assessment of the global impact of Covid-19 on the telecoms sector, the regulator’s market reports for 2019, telcos’ operating and financial data to July 2021, Telecom Maturity Index charts and analyses, recent market developments.

Russian pipeline gas exports to China nearly triple in 2021 www.rt.com

Deliveries of pipeline gas from Russia to China in January-August 2021 jumped 2.7 times year on year to 4.73 million tons. According to Russia’s state energy giant Gazprom, China’s gas demand has “stunning” growth potential.
In the first eight months of the year, China spent some $837.32 million on Russian gas, which is a 98.94% increase compared to the corresponding period last year, the Chinese General Customs Administration said on Monday.
According to the ministry, Turkmenistan continues to be China’s top supplier of natural gas, delivering 15.95 million tons of gas for $4.2 billion this year. Russia is in second place in terms of supply volume, followed by Kazakhstan with 3.17 million tons for $723 million, and Myanmar with 2.01 million tons for $922 million.
China’s leading supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in January-August was Australia (20.52 million tons for $8.47 billion), followed by Qatar, Malaysia, and United States. Russia ranked sixth in LNG imports, with 2.67 million tons for $1.23 billion.
According to Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller, gas consumption in China is growing faster than in any other country of the Asia-Pacific region.
“The Chinese market is the most dynamic and fastest in terms of growth. Every year it simply stuns us with the growth rate of consumption and 2021 is no exception. In the first half of the year, the volume of natural gas consumption in China increased by 15.5%, and the volume of imports by 23.8%. This means that by the end of 2021 the forecast estimates of consumption in China will amount to 360 billion cubic meters and the volume of imports will be 160 billion cubic meters,” Miller said last week.
He predicts China's natural gas imports will reach 300 billion cubic meters per year by 2035 and sees gas consumption in the Asia-Pacific region growing by 1.5 trillion cubic meters by 2040, with 60% of the volume falling on imports.
“For the Asia-Pacific region, it is very important to ensure that the energy balance of these countries is environmentally friendly. This means that natural gas should play a significant role in it because it is natural gas that is the cleanest, most reliable and accessible natural resource. Most importantly, in terms of development of technological consumption, it is difficult to find an alternative to it,” Miller stressed.
Meanwhile, China has also imported $25.1 billion worth of Russian oil in January-August 2021, which is a 30.4% increase year-on-year. However, despite the growth of imports in value terms, the physical volume of crude imported from Russia to China decreased by 7.3%, to 52.92 million tons. Still, Russia retains its position as China’s second-biggest oil supplier after Saudi Arabia, which sold 58.49 million tons to China in January-August for $27.26 billion.
