About MGP
'MATIKLAVA GOES PARTYING' is a weekly newsletter with all the parties from the underground scene in Taiwan. All in one place, no bullshit and straight to the point.
Created by MATIKLAVA to help you find the party that suits you best.
Shinsekai got kicked off Instagram
Shinsekai's Instagram account was suspended late on October 4 and is still down. They filed an appeal and are waiting on Meta. Around the same time a few DJs who played their parties had their own accounts flagged and restricted. This comes after a run of incidents where queer parties and venues in Taiwan have been under pressure, and Shinsekai says they do not know yet whether the two things are connected. Neither do I.
 |  |
Their backup account is @ssk_protocol. That is where their updates and events live until the main one comes back. If I hear anything from their side, I will let you know in the next issue.

SHHH ROOM takeover
SHHH ROOM crew takes over safe&sound for the night. Intimate space with solid sound.
| 金屬在高溫中塑形， 冷卻後留下堅硬的輪廓， 和流動過的痕跡。 十月的聲音， 像鑄造後的黃銅，冷、沉、厚實， 在沉著的表面下持續共振。 月初 SOMEBODYYYY 以低頻開啟； 月中交由 SHHH ROOM 和 Evoparate堆疊與延展； 月底則由來自泰國的RASSALOOH 以黑膠接手， 將質地揉入針尖，劃開深沉的迴響。 這是屬於十月的聲響鑄造。 |
