We played a live hypnotic techno set inside the Chiayi East Market a few months ago and filmed the whole performance.

We brought modular synths, drum machines running straight through the noise of a working traditional market. There were scooters going through the isles, people grabbing lunch and buying groceries.

This is the same area where Nick’s family has run a stall for generations.

Nick grew up around these stalls, and bringing our electronic music back into the space his family has worked for so long was a wholesome experience.

We’re grateful to the stall owners, the market manager, and the Chiayi City Government for trusting us to take over a working stall for the day and turn it into a stage.

Full set is on YouTube now. Link in bio.

Special thanks to the film and editing crew:

Sono presents Klubnacht
Friday, 04.09 — FINAL, Taipei 23:00–04:00
TSARO (LIVE), INN, Carmen, KUAN, Lil 0 (VJ)

For Sono’s first techno Klubnacht at FINAL DJs open and close the night, with Tsaro’s full hardware live set in the middle.

Behind Tsaro are Nick Tsai and Taro. Tsai, a musician based in Taichung, has spent years shaping a unique modular ambient style. He fuses natural sounds and pulsating waveforms to breathe life into his live sets. He has played the Tokyo Festival of Modular, scored films, exhibitions and travels around Asia and Europe to perform his work.

Taro a producer originally from the US, was shaped by his 5 years in the Berlin techno scene before moving to Taiwan. What stayed with him were the live sets. His music spans techno, electro, breaks and ambient. Taro’s music has been played by DJs including Piezo and Upsammy with releases ok ANKR (TW) and Baroque Sunburst (UK).

Together they have performed many sets across Asia and have focused on hypnotic techno. They played live in Japan, at DAO in Taichung, at the Sonic Wanderings Festival, and most recently at Chiayi’s East Market.

With Sono’s new event series Klubnacht, they focus on curating hypnotic techno nights where the DJ and VJs aren’t the main character, but rather the music and the audience’s personal introspection is.

Sono 呈獻 Klubnacht
9 月 4 日（週五）— FINAL，台北 23:00–04:00
TSARO（LIVE）、INN、Carmen、KUAN、Lil 0（VJ）

Sono 於 FINAL 舉辦的首場 techno Klubnacht，由 DJ 開場並收尾，中場則交給 Tsaro 完整的硬體現場演出（live set）。

Tsaro 的成員是 Nick Tsai 與 Taro。Tsai 是一位駐點台中的音樂人，多年來發展出獨樹一格的模組合成器（modular）氛圍音樂風格。他將自然聲響與脈動的波形融合，為現場演出注入生命力。他曾登上東京模組合成器音樂節（Tokyo Festival of Modular）演出，並為電影與展覽配樂，也走訪亞洲與歐洲各地表演他的作品。

Taro 是一位來自美國的製作人，移居台灣前，曾在柏林 techno 場景浸淫五年，深受其形塑。真正在他心中留下印記的，是那些現場演出。他的音樂橫跨 techno、electro、breaks 與 ambient。Taro 的作品曾被 Piezo、Upsammy 等 DJ 播放，並在 ANKR（台灣）與 Baroque Sunburst（英國）等廠牌發行。

兩人已在亞洲各地共同演出多場，並專注於催眠式 techno（hypnotic techno）。他們曾在日本、台中 DAO、Sonic Wanderings Festival，以及最近在嘉義東市場進行現場演出。

透過 Sono 全新的活動系列 Klubnacht，他們專注於策劃催眠式 techno 之夜——在這裡，DJ 與 VJ 並非主角，音樂本身與觀眾內在的自我省思，才是核心。 by @sono.tw

SONO presents KLUBNACHT
  9/4（五）@ FINAL，台北｜23:00–04:00
 TSARO (live) / INN / Carmen / KUAN / LIL 0 (VJ)

SONO 首次在 FINAL 舉辦 Klubnacht，將柏林的派對格式帶進台北：由 DJ 開場與收尾，中段是一整段完整的 live set —— 這在台灣的舞池上仍屬少見。

LIL 0 ——視覺藝術家VJ。

生於光與聲未能分離之處，潛行於節奏的裂隙，探索光與聲交疊的瞬間、意識與身體斷裂的邊界。
臨界之中聲音成為呼吸，影像成為脈搏。
主導喚起影像低頻如潮，閃爍如訊號；畫面在燃燒、摺疊、崩解之間變形，
釋放閃爍、錯位與崩壞的能量——不屬於此世，卻精準嵌入此刻。
同步於心跳的黑暗儀式，當下的幻覺召喚。
LIL 0 的即時視覺透過 TouchDesigner 與 Resolume 實現，以音頻資料為驅動核心，讓 glitch、光脈衝與色彩位移構築出一個漂浮於夢與現實之間的能量場。
是聲光的轉譯也是一種精神狀態的顯影。
在黑暗LIL 0 以影像引導聲音的呼吸，讓觀者於漆黑之中看見光的碎片，聽見靜默的節奏。

For its first Klubnacht at FINAL, SONO brings a Berlin format to Taipei: DJs open and close the night, with a full live set at its center — still a rarity on Taiwanese club floors.

LIL 0 — Visual Artist / VJ

LIL 0 explores the space between light, sound, consciousness, and the body. Through real-time visuals created with TouchDesigner and Resolume, audio data is transformed into glitches, pulses of light, shifting colors, and distorted imagery.

Moving between darkness and illumination, her work creates an immersive energy field where visuals breathe with sound — allowing the audience to lose themselves somewhere between dream and reality. by @sono.tw

無論是刺青藝術或音樂，她始終不受單一風格所侷限。她將充滿活力的電子聲響、不同樂器與有機脈搏融合，透過獨特的節奏工藝，為聲音注入生命與呼吸。
她的音樂帶著俏皮充滿活力的能量，以直覺性的節奏喚醒最純粹的感官反應，讓聽者沉浸於聲音、律動與能量交織的異境之中。

Playful, energetic, and instinctive, her sets awaken the purest sensory responses and invite listeners into an immersive world. by @sono.tw

SONO presents KLUBNACHT
FRI 04.09.26 at FINAL, Taipei

@kuan_qq is a resident DJ of PURE G, one of Taipei’s leading collectives. His sound moves fluidly through evolving forms of techno and tribal, shaped by a strong sense of temporal drift. Crisp, futuristic sonics blend with organic, jungle-inspired textures, forming shifting landscapes of rhythm, resonance, and vibration. His sets continuously stretch perception and dissolve spatial boundaries, allowing sound to drift across imagined dimensions in search of subtle fragments suspended in space.

He is a regular at FINAL and Pawnshop, and has appeared at Organik Festival, alongside performances at Unmute and WWW Shibuya. His practice continues to evolve through ongoing exploration of tone, frequency, and spatial perception, balancing organic rhythm with futuristic sound design while tracing the invisible spaces where sound exists beyond form.

TSARO (live)
INN
Carmen
KUAN

For its first Klubnacht at FINAL, SONO brings a Berlin format to Taipei: DJs open and close the night, with a full live techno set at its center.

Behind Tsaro are Nick Tsai and Taro. Tsai, a sound artist based in Taichung, has spent years shaping a singular modular ambient practice, he has played the Tokyo Festival of Modular, scored films, and travels constantly between Taiwan, Japan and Europe to perform his work. Taro comes out of Berlin club culture and the 48-hour weekends of Berghain, and it was this meeting that gave the project its direction: a more kinetic, danceable form of that modular energy.

Together they have performed live at DAO in Taichung, at the Sonic Wanderings Festival in New Taipei City, in Tokyo and Taipei, and most recently at Chiayi’s East Market. With Klubnacht, they turn to curating intentional lineups and bringing that energy to the club.

Around the live set, three DJs. KUAN, resident of PURE G and a regular at FINAL and Pawnshop, moves through evolving forms of techno and tribal with crisp, futuristic sonics over organic, jungle-inflected rhythm.

INN works the hypnotic end of the spectrum, threading minimal and deep tech with tribal patterns and an IDM undercurrent.

Carmen, live from Venus via Tainan, has played Wonky Forest and floors across Taiwan; her range resists a single style, the music you didn’t know you needed to hear.

Join us this Saturday 4/25, 11AM at the Chiayi East Market for a never before heard dark techno live set.

SONO presents Tsaro (Nick Tsai and Taro). 90 minutes of live techno next to grandmas buying fish, motorbikes cutting through the aisles, and vendors who have worked the same stall for decades.

SONO has spent the last few years curating cutting-edge live electronic performances in Taiwan and bringing dancefloor-ready techno to stages across Asia. This one has been a year in the making, requiring a government permit and a lot of belief in a market that has run for a century.

Nick is from Chiayi and his family runs a stall in this market. He’s played gigs in Taipei, Amsterdam and Tokyo, and now finally he’s debuting his modular set back at home.

Markets are craft. Someone breaking down a chicken in front of you, picking the guavas that are actually ripe, skill that goes uncelebrated because it has been around forever and lives in places the younger generation stopped thinking were cool. We want to meet that energy with our own craft. Live, loud, in the place where it actually lives.

This will not happen again!

If you’re up north, Chiayi is a quick ride down south and worth it.

···

TARO
Producer and live performer based in Taiwan after 5 years in Berlin. His sound blends breaks, rolling beats, pulsating melodies and ambient textures. Releases include “Lurk,” “The Suffler,” the Tendril EP, and “Gas Burn” on Baroque Sunburst Records.

NICK TSAI
Sound artist based in Taichung working in ambient and experimental electronic music. Explores the minimal textures of sound and what lives between them. In 2021 started Plant Sonification, a project using plants as the core driver of generative sound and light installations.

TECHNO AT A 100+ YEAR OLD MARKET

Saturday 4/25, 11AM. Chiayi East Market. Free entry.

SONO @sono.tw presents Tsaro (Nick Tsai and Taro). 90 minutes of live techno next to grandmas buying fish, motorbikes cutting through the aisles, and vendors who have worked the same stall for decades.

SONO has spent the last few years curating cutting-edge live electronic performances in Taiwan and bringing dancefloor-ready techno to stages across Asia. This one has been a year in the making, requiring a government permit and a market that has run for over a century.

Nick is from Chiayi and his family runs a stall in this market. He’s played gigs in Taipei, Amsterdam and Tokyo, and now finally he’s debuting his modular set back at home.

Markets are craft. Someone breaking down a chicken in front of you, picking the guavas that are actually ripe, skill that goes uncelebrated because it has been around forever and lives in places the younger generation stopped thinking were cool. We want to meet that energy with our own craft. Live, loud, in the place where it actually lives.

This will not happen again so make sure to come experience it for yourself.

If you’re up north, Chiayi is a quick ride down south and worth it.

We welcome our final artists to the lineup, @nick.tsai.140 and @tarotunes performing LIVE!

The artists have played modular synths and electronic music for a combined period of over 15 years, and have played together 8+ times in Taiwan and Japan.

Now, instead of their typical ambient sets, they’ve linked up to get you dancing.

The show at @dao_taichung will be the first techno live set that they have played together.

Over the past few months, they’ve practiced and honed in on a sound that is modern, fast and fun.

Inspired by Berlin club nights, future Sono events will create a platform to combine both live acts and DJs.

This is just the beginning.

See you on Saturday! by @sono.tw
