TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A compilation of what is being described as the “very best of Taiwan’s newest experimental electronic artists” was released Friday (March 24) by Tzusing’s label Sea Cucumber.
The Malaysian-born DJ is based in Taipei and Shanghai, and plays a mix of experimental or streamlined techno and club music.
His new project, “FINAL Taipei Compilation,” features five tracks from five Taiwanese DJs and producers, namely: B E N N, jondu, Lujiachi, Meuko! Meuko!, and Sandy’s Trace. The EP is dedicated to FINAL club, which was established 2018 in Taipei.
Described by Tzusing as a “love letter” to FINAL, a mainstay on the capital city’s alternative clubbing scene, the tracks have a deconstructed production and are heavy on the sub-bass. Think hard noises, glitchy synths, and deep acoustic journeys.
“I think FINAL can really put Taiwan on the map a bit more as far as making more cutting-edge electronic music” is concerned, Tzusing was quoted as saying in a press statement.
The compilation is available on all streaming platforms.
