— The Analog Vault [ Essential Listening ] —

One of the most sought after and definitive records in LIE's catalog has finally been repressed! Tzusing's in demand, now cult, 2017 debut lp returns to vinyl. A genre breaking and genre defining album in the current world of electronic music, this LP has resonated far beyond the conventional echo chamber of what's out there these days and has been heralded by many outside the "scene". A truly singular work that stands out among the rest, a modern classic in our eyes. Same artwork, same mastering, new cut.

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.

Emotional, dark and powerful, the album title taken literally means "Invincible East" based on a character (a swordsman) in a Jin Yong novel who must make the ultimate sacrifice to attain knowledge and transform. The narrative goes in hand with the artists observations living and travelling throughout Asia and provides a haunting soundtrack for a bleak future where few dare to subvert the power structures at hand. — (via L.I.E.S.
