Bjarki
Before 00:30NT$800
After 00:30NT$900
Icelandic producer Bjarki comes to Final for a proper club night. Expect fast-paced, unpredictable techno and breakbeats down in the basement.
| 來自冰島雷克雅維克的 bjarki，是 Techno 圈子拒絕被歸類的神秘異端。他在 Nina Kraviz 廠牌 трип 釋出多首橫掃舞池的現象級神曲；然而他並未選擇複製這套模式，而是果斷轉身潛入探索的各種聲音，將充滿挑釁與混亂精密的 IDM、Bass 及實驗聲響融入 Techno。從《Б》到《Happy Earthday》，他的創作始終在狂暴的衝擊力與深邃的解構美學之間穿梭。 隨著個人廠牌 bbbbbb records 的創立，bjarki 近年除了專注推出新型態 Techno 舞曲，也密切與倫敦視覺導演 Thomas Harrington Rawle 合作 Audio-Visual 音像演出，透過生成藝術、AI 雙重擬像與手繪 3D 動態，將當代人的數位焦慮和 IDM / Tech… |

Y2K RAVE 千禧派對 - 全民舞池
Door (before 12AM)NT$600
La Fin goes full millennium: trance, hands-up and the Eurodance that filled Taiwanese clubs around 2000. Dress the part.
| 還記得那個千禧年嗎？當 1999 倒數歸零，世界迎來了全新的 2000。低腰牛仔褲、銀色未來感、MP3 Player、CD 隨身聽，聊天室裡的暱稱、網路撥接的聲音，以及一首首從歐洲舞池一路紅進台灣夜店的電子舞曲。那是一個相信未來會更酷的年代。也是 Trance 開始大肆征服舞池、Hands Up 開始讓所有人一起跳、Breakbeat 讓節奏變得更加瘋狂 的時代。沒有 TikTok 神曲，沒有 Reels 推播，一首歌能夠紅遍整個世代，靠的是 Radio、CD、MTV、夜店與舞池裡口耳相傳的記憶。🎧 Y2K RAVE 千禧派對 這一次，我們把時間倒轉回 2000 年前後。從熟悉到不能再熟悉的 Trance Anthem，到讓你一聽前奏就忍不住跟著跳的 Eurodance、Hands Up，再… |

safe&sound Resident DJ Night
The Safe & Sound crew hosts an intimate session showcasing their own resident sound. Cheap entry and good beer as usual.
| 岩紋的每道溝紋與裂隙， 映照著自然界隨著時間沉澱留下的痕跡。 彎曲、起伏、交錯， 如聲響的波動，從來都不是筆直的。 立秋後，九月的空氣迎來絲絲涼意。 節奏在此刻緩緩拉長， 將暑期的躁動，轉化為漸漸沉澱的律動。 |

IMPRNT presents: I7HVN
Before 00:30NT$700
After 00:30NT$800
IMPRNT brings French live act I7HVN to Final. Expect heavy, industrial-leaning electronics tailored for the basement soundsystem.
| IMPRNT 是一個以 Live Set 與 Producer 創意為核心的電子音樂企劃，關注聲音本身的深度，向深處潛入，剝離表象，回到音樂與創作本身。 來自印度的 I7HVN，是一位橫跨聲音、視覺與概念敘事的多媒體藝術家。作品發行於 YUKU、Qilla、Circular Limited、Observant、Postdynamic 等廠牌，並於 2021 年創立 Safar Collective，持續為印度的 left-field 與實驗電子音樂建立新的創作空間。 受到奇幻文學的想像方式啟發，I7HVN 將每一首作品視為更龐大世界的一部分。Techno、Electro、IDM、Ambient 對他而言並非界線，而是建構敘事的材料, , 以細密的 sequencing、強烈 textur… |

伊甸園｜EDEN
Single PassNT$800
3-Person Group PassNT$1800
Shinsekai opens up its Dark Room at midnight for an inclusive night with a light dress code. Less clothes, full freedom on the floor.
| 亞當們尋覓彼此以及能與彼此嬉戲的田野，忘卻了舊約與新約，在隱僻處他們終將遇見，舔舐對方滲出的汗水，禁果互丟互餵。窸窣間他說「以你的名字呼喚我」，於是他們輕聲互喚亞當，眼神一一交會，身軀前傾始得撫慰，無意停歇。赤身裸體他們不再羞愧，「來吧滋潤我的滄海桑田」，當慾望不再是罪愆，他們感到無比安全。沒有應該也沒有不應該，光線忽明忽滅，緊貼彼此仍有的空隙填滿以音樂，歡迎來到伊甸園。 每月開園一回。 |

Deep, atmospheric club music takes over 23 Music Lab in Kaohsiung. A solid option if you need heavy low-end in the south.
| 創立於 2020 年，Evaporate 蒸發以極簡 Minimal 音樂為核心，聲音游移在 Techno 與 House 之間，以 Minimal Techno、Tech House 為主要脈絡，再向外延伸並揉合不同曲風。時而迷幻 Trippy、漸進 Progressive，時而帶著 Dub 的迴響，或 Electro 的電子質感。 至今 Evaporate 已累積超過 50 張數位發行與 1 張黑膠作品，聲音版圖也早已不只停留在台灣。從 Beatport、Bandcamp、Spotify 官方歌單，到歐洲各地的實體唱片行，都能看見 Evaporate 的作品。兩位聯合創辦人也陸續受邀前往德國柏林、挪威奧斯陸、韓國首爾、泰國曼谷、南非開普敦，以及中國上海、北京等城市演出，持續將來自台灣的… |

| We believed choice was the opposite of captivity, but this was merely the oldest trick of the cage: filling it with options. As long as the shelves remained stocked and there was something left to reach for, the captive could mistake desire for freedom. But the cage does not ask what we want before it takes what it needs. |
