Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️ that’s me, I’m coming to Europe for the next few weeks. Hit me up 🤙

Born and raised in Taipei, DJ/Producer Sonia Calico has been at the forefront of Taiwan’s dance music scene, bringing a sharp ear for music that brings fun and unique grooves. She is always striving to find new music, never constrained by any genres and it shows in her works. From her beginnings with electronic female rock group Go Chic, to her production/sets under the Calico moniker, you can definitely experience a mature integration of a variety of influences from breakbeat, trap, b-more, footwork, grime, ballroom... etc. Throughout her evolution as an artist, one thing stays consistent: her ability to get a party started with her energetic sounds.

Being a core member of Go Chic, they released 2 studio albums. The 2nd album We Is Not Home was produced by Canadian electronic singer Peaches and won The Golden Indie Award for “Best Electronic Music Album of 2014”. Go Chic toured the world and got to play in big international festivals like SXSW, Summer Sonic, Fuji Rock and Modern Sky.

She then decided to pursue a solo career under Sonia Calico – bringing forth an edgier sound, with influences from Juke, Chill Trap, Bass, Hip-Hop, and Amen Break. Sonia Calico’s extensive discography includes a number of singles released under the Chinese label Do Hits, and an official remix of “More Tea” by Canadian musician, Ill Gates, for his 2016 EP. Her endeavors led to a recent appearance one of Asia’s and Taipei’s first Boiler Room event.

Her love for music extends beyond being a DJ/Producer. Forming a collective known as UnderU, she is committed to helping promote and nurture the scene by organizing unique electronic music parties that features acts like Night Slug’s Bok Bok, UK’s Deadly & Murlo, Beijing’s Howie Lee, Singapore collective/label Darker Than Wax & Australian artist, Air Max ’97, just to name a few. As if those weren’t enough, her grassroots efforts allowed her to help start Beatmakers Taipei, a platform where local producers regularly meet to exchange in knowledge and their music.

Sonia Calico released her debut EP Fake Jewelry in February of 2017 via San Francisco-based label Muti Music, along with several singles with Beijing-based label Do Hits. Her music has been gaining support around the world, including The Fader for the premiering and Bandcamp Daily for interview. And She has made her Boiler Room appearance in 2016.

In 2018 Sonia Calico came back with her 2nd EP Desert Trance.

==================

Fire EX., iconic Punk Rock band from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, was formed in 2000. Their songs are full of enthusiasm and dreams. The band is well known for political activism and their lyrics reflect the current society. Popular tracks such as ‘Good Night! Formosa!’, ‘A Man on the Sea’, and ‘Island’s Sunrise’ made Fire EX. the representative Punk Rock band of the modern times, which they also earned the name of ‘Band of the Taiwanese folks’.
Apart than participating in various tours and major domestic and international music festivals, Fire EX. puts up concerts annually since 2013. The band toured with MONOEYES, a Japanese Punk Rock band for the Far East Union Tour, spanning Taiwan, Japan and Korea, promoting cultural exchange within Asia through the uniting effects of music.
The band started performing at live houses with around one to two hundred people in the audience, with no mainstream media attention and gaudy performance attires, Fire EX. worked their way up, towards the success they have today among Taiwan. Next, they are moving on to take on the world.

In 2015, Fire EX.’s ‘Island’s Sunrise’ was chosen as the theme song for the Sunflower Movement, bagging the much-coveted ‘Golden Melody Awards – Best Song of the Year’ award.

In 2016, Fire EX. released their album in Japan. They collaborated with legendary musicians such as Takeshi Hosomi and Masafumi Isobe, and quickly increased their fame and popularity in Japan. In the same year, they once again performed in Summer Sonic, largest music festival in Japan.

Next year, they released their album ‘REBORN’, and put up a total of 15 domestic tours. Tickets sold out fast, which Fire EX.decided to put up a outdoor concert ‘2016 On Fire Day’ at a baseball arena that holds ten thousand people. All tickets were sold, which they made a successful history that no other independent music bands have ever done before and created a whole new chapter. After achieving this significant milestone, Fire EX. has decided to move forward. After being around for 17 years, they are going to release their first ‘new songs + best collection album’. At the same time, they are getting ready for their annual world tour. Stay tuned for their tour in Hong Kong!

STILL：Listening in Stillness／
在寂靜之中聽見寂靜

導演 | 呂威聯

台灣出生並先後旅居在印尼、美國及荷蘭的新銳導演－呂威聯 (William LÜ), 在不斷移動、接觸不同語言狀態的成長經驗中，經常面對語言表達中一種”卡住”的狀態。相較於許許多多，或許竭盡所能也 ”說不出來” 的東西，肉眼的細膩觀察，和更為直接的肢體動作，似乎破除了語言的界線，傳遞出更深層的內在經驗。對他而言，身體與舞蹈是一種在寂靜之中，卻能夠實際碰觸到世界的另一種聲音。

前身為舞者的電影導演呂威聯(William Lü)， 在查普曼大學接受專業的舞蹈訓練，並成為備受讚譽的美國當代舞蹈公司Backhausdance創始成員之ㄧ。 2007、2008年他在 Backhausdance的舞作，獲得了萊斯特•霍頓獎（The Lester Horton Awards）；他的編舞作品也曾在洛杉磯Dorothy Chandler Pavilion，KCET / PBS電視台、荷蘭露天音樂節等展出。

呂威聯在2012年首度嚐試的舞蹈電影風格(a dance film)，為我們帶來了一種嶄新的觀影經驗；舞蹈電影，顧名思義是透過極為細膩的舞蹈與身體動作，來引導出整部電影的敘事與結構。< Partita for One > 是他第一部關於舞蹈電影的創作，這部影片曾受邀於蘇格蘭舞蹈電影節及英國BBC Big Screen放映。 ＜STILL＞ 是他的第二部舞蹈電影作品，這部電影獲得了2014年國際無聲電影節(International Speechless Film Festival) Best of the Fest 獎項、2015年 Festigious電影節的最佳音樂獎、以及西班牙Festival Fiver 電影節的電影與舞蹈特別獎。

他的舞蹈電影，關注的是一種生活中的身體：微乎其微的日常動作、承載情感的身體、思考的身體、矛盾的身體、記憶的身體、困頓的身體、溫柔的身體；皆透過身體的動作、一種生於日常的舞蹈，說出表演者／觀看者的經驗與故事。

他最近搬到台北，持續他的電影創作。
