ARTIST LINE-UP
rawtrack
Spiritual Teenagers Centre
ARTIST BIOS
As written and pronounced in Mandarin, ‘rawtrack (我拆)’ means ‘self-deconstruction’. rawtrack imagines that one can be in a ‘checking war’ simultaneously between the inner-self and the outer-world by dropping fiery battle tunes. Though the process might be filled with trenchant criticism, rawtrack hopes it will bring one closer to self-understanding and interpersonal communication, instead of isolation. rawtrack wantsto stand with those who are genuinely facing their own hypocrisy. rawtrack is deeply influenced by the rage of nu-metal.They also like to extract inspiration from Party Music, as well as explore various other music genres and ambiences, in the hope of delivering their distinctive contexts and messages.
Spiritual Teenagers Centre
Alexandria
Alexandria’s musical talent goes beyond her sensitive emotions, the transparent and genuine monologues in her music creations. She effortlessly handles Hard Trap with its domineering lyrics, and shifts the norm of a male-dominated local rapping scene, making her stand out from the latest generation of rappers.
Yuwen
Since his chill yet emo debut album《Chill現實》, Yuwen has gone through various ups and downs, and has been exploring the relationship between the inner-self and the world, as well as new musical styles. Equipped with a broader vision, he is ready to hit the road again.
MU
From Hard Trap to Metal Trap, MU’s evolving rapping skills and spare-no-effort explorer spirit have been pushing his work and live appearances to the limit. It is foreseeable that his talent, hard work, and determination to demonstrate the spirit world will lead his work to attain great success.
