Tzusing

Tzusing is based between Shanghai and Taipei. His music exists in this condition of dislocation, forged at the complicated intersection of personal, social, and national identity.
As a DJ, Tzusing’s sets mix streamlined techno, industrial electronics, non-western dance music, and contemporary club music. He adds to this a sincere belief in the redemptive power of pop music, ready to drop sophisticated, classic Asian pop into the middle of club sets. In his own productions Tzusing recombines these influences into aggressive, cathartic music, inflected with off-kilter half step rhythms, strange harmonic textures, and thick, unnaturally resonant drums. If glittering tuned percussion, reed instrument-like synthesizers, and the music’s imagery might evoke a sense of “Chinese-ness,” it is not to point to the site of “authentic culture,” but to ask what these signifiers mean and who they belong to, as diasporas mutate beyond national borders. Seeking fun and subversion in equal parts, Tzusing’s music circles around themes of power, obsession, sexuality, identity and its obliteration.

在紐約廠牌L.I.E.S.推出的首張個人專輯『東方不敗』被權威電子音樂雜誌Resident Advisor評為過去十年的20大專輯之一。
在前衛廠牌PAN發行的單曲也得到電子音樂界傳奇大老Aphex Twin的認可。
少數可以在techno界跟新潮實驗舞曲界都得到肯定的製作人/DJ。
Tzusing的DJ set融合techno, 工業電子, 當代實驗舞曲，hip hop以及偶爾神來一筆的經典華語流行，叛逆與幽默兼具。他的個人作品也可以聽到他受到以上多元影響所營造出他完全不受限、個人風格強烈的獨特東方暴力美學。
