Dark Paradise Records, established almost ten years ago, knows that Taiwanese listeners are relatively unfamiliar with electronic music styles. Therefore, starting with the last compilation album “Dark Paradise Records J7 White Diamonds,” they have used a “producer ft. singer-songwriter” method. This time, independent bands and jazz musicians were invited to cooperate. This way, listeners will find it easier to appreciate electronic music. At the same time, this has been a challenge testing the producer’s abilities and the singer’s control over electronic music styles. Roxi, who collaborated with Sanchung Electronic Kong, said: “Each genre has its own way of interpretation. To be able to work in a particular genre, you have to imagine yourself as a musical instrument. It is most important that the vibe is right.”

The two parties cooperated to create the song “Even the end of the world is nothing worth,” with the background based on dance music a person would be listening to a hundred years from now. Sanchung Electronic Kong said, “The visual sense of music is like listening to a tune while dancing alone. We were inspired by anime “battle songs,” such as Megumegu Fire Endless Night and Luka Luka Night Fever.

“At this moment, my wish is to capture the complete way of my teacher (Rich Huang). I don’t want to tell him ‘I hope to take a certain look from you’.” — Jay Cheng

Other intriguing pairings are: Jay Cheng / Rich Huang – Night Heron (feat. YuYing Hsu); Ping Hsu — “Day Goes Slow” (feat. PoTo Hardware Store); and Dizparity — “Who Taught Us To Hate” (feat. HAOTING). Among them, the song “Night Heron” is especially “golden.” It was produced by Jay Cheng, who has just been shortlisted for this year’s Golden Melody Awards and Golden Indie Music Awards. He cooperated with Taiwan’s “King of the Drums,” Rich Huang and pianist YuYing Hsu, winner of numerous Golden Melody Awards. The combination of original drum sound, electronic sound and sampling, and jazz piano is one of the special highlights of the compilation album. Under the ingenious music arrangement of producer Ping Hsu, PoTo Hardware Store also tried electronic music style for the first time, creating an unforgettable sensation. The irresistible cutting-edge talent combination of Dizparity and HAOTING’s, coupled with co-drummer Birdman’s musical interpretation, immediately raised their song quality to a whole new level.

Starting today, “Dark Paradise Records G8 – Binary Opposition” is available on all major digital streaming platforms. At the same time, the album is also released as an exquisite vinyl version and peripheral set.
