Zona presents: Paul Seul
DoorNT$800
Paul Seul's Asia debut lands at Final, brought in by Zona. Hardcore, trance, and hyperpop in one room, not a typical Final night.
| 來自法國的 Hardcore 製作人，傳奇Hardcore先鋒組織「Casual Gabberz」創始成員。秉持一貫的 DIY 精神，他跨足流行領域，與歌手 Mathilde Fernandez 組成雙人組 Ascendant Vierge，以旺盛的創作能量穿梭在 Hardcore、Trance 與 Hyperpop 之間。他的首張 EP《ESS》於 2017 年由 Casual Gabberz Records 發行，其收錄的代表作〈Gardezvos distances〉融合了狂喜與憂鬱，成為 Paul Seul 至今的標誌性風格。並於 2021 年在跨界硬核美學的先鋒廠牌 Neversleeplife 發行第二張 EP《Amoureuse》，發行後迅速累積大量死忠聽眾。Paul Seul… |

Pawnshop Night
Before 1amNT$600

Standard Pawnshop Friday with both floors running. The caption is teasing something for Leo signs, might be free entry if you're one, worth checking.
| 粉顱出潮、白霧遮唇、空瞳望遠。 赤髮映波、半首浮光、冷水緘言。 每月集結當鋪正宗聲響，最沉眼且噤息、鹽夢而碧瀰，孤醒並懸沫的本格派之夜。 |

NOS OBSCURA 004：「順從」
Before 00:00NT$600
After 00:00NT$700
NOS OBSCURA's fourth edition at 23 Music Lab in Kaohsiung's Pier-2 Art Center. Strict no-phone policy, cameras get stickered at the door, and they will throw you out for using it on the dancefloor.
| 我們很少停下來追問，為什麼會做自己所做的事。 給予足夠的時間，即使再不可思議的事物，也會變得與日常無異。它一代又一代地延續下去，直到質疑它，反而比接受它更顯得陌生。 Obscura 建立於一個信念之上：反烏托邦早已降臨。它透過舒適、便利、監控，以及人類經驗對我們親手創造的系統所做出的安靜讓渡，悄然成形。 當機器開始學會模仿我們，我們這一代便站在一個奇異而憂鬱的位置上：離過去足夠近，還記得人類經驗原本的樣子；卻也來得足夠晚，親眼看著它被重新書寫。 我們稱這道臨界為「介」：一處隔絕外界的庇護所，一個由晦暗、聲音與拒絕所支撐的空間。Obscura 為那些感受到未來正逐步逼近，卻依然尋找一處能以人之姿站立之地的人而存在。 Obscura is built on the belief that… |

Vera Grace
DoorNT$800
Dutch artist Vera Grace plays Final. Techno with modular live elements.
| 畢業於阿姆斯特丹音樂學院，為荷蘭當代 Techno 場景注入了一股兼具學院理性與地下實驗性的銳利力量。她的聲音美學奠基於極具沉浸感的心靈聲響工程，底層由沉穩且富含推力的 4/4 脈衝與碎拍鋪陳，上層則堆疊著模組合成器所凝練出的迷幻紋理與催眠波動。她穿梭於空間留白、氛圍鋪疊與強勁驅動的硬派重拍之間，既扎根於 Techno 的正統脈絡，更向外開展出前衛且精密的結構設計。在現場舞台上，Vera Grace 將控台視為即興的聲響實驗室。她善於透過多軌疊加拆解並重構音訊碎片，同時以全類比演出為核心，讓模組訊號線交錯間的不確定性，轉化為具備物理質地與重量的聲響顆粒。從歐洲各大地下夜店，到 Awakenings 與 DGTL 等頂尖音樂節，她的現場始終在高壓動能與深層心靈衝擊之間維持著精準的平衡，展現出當… |

| ｜緊急通知｜ 8 月 22 日晚上，TEMPLE 可能會有一點不一樣 因為 FUMI 要來了！ 如果你以為 Hard Techno 只是「越快、越大聲越好」 那你可能還沒遇過 FUMI 從日本東京地下場景殺進巴黎， 再從義大利、荷蘭、奧地利、德國一路踩點， 這次終於輪到台北 FUMI 的 Hard / Industrial Techno 不只是單純把 BPM 往上拉 他的聲音很難乖乖分類 黑暗與清晰交錯 重拍像拳頭，細節卻又像刀利 黑暗、厚重、暴烈 藏著讓你越聽越上癮的細節 身體先動，腦袋晚點再說 FUMI 不只是跟著 Hard Techno 的浪潮走 他比較像是那個 正在偷偷改寫下一波浪會長什麼樣子的人 |

Artist Spotlight: Out & About Records
Out & About just launched their own label. First release is a five track VA pulling from the same community that shows up to their daytime parties, now pressed into a proper compilation.
Dimola
Not Interested
Dimola opens the compilation with a stripped back groove, more headspace than hook. It's the kind of track that sits well early in a set and doesn't ask for attention.
Pvrple Breeze
You & Me
Pvrple Breeze keeps it warm and a little sentimental without losing the groove. Fits the daytime, community table energy Out & About built their name on.
DZRT FRST
Damn Acid
DZRT FRST goes harder here, acid line up front and driving the whole track. Been a reliable name on Taipei's house scene for a while, this one proves why.
The Cook The Thief
House String Theory
The Cook The Thief brings two decades of house DJing experience into the studio. Funky, tech leaning, built for a peak time room.
Pinksock
Little Things
Pinksock closes the VA out with something lighter and more playful. A good reminder that house music does not always need to be serious.
