Sydney-based producer, musician and DJ Tzekin, aka Justin Tam, makes a delicious hybrid sound that encompasses R&B, Asian trance, rap and hip hop, warped pop and experimental. And his debut album, 'Skyline Death', released November 30 via Eternal Dragonz (inspired by his experience surviving a near-fatal car crash), reflects all those elements.
"The songs on it are my way of exploring my own Asian-Australian identity," sayss Tzekin, "taking aZn pRyDe nostalgia and colliding it with club music. In parallel, it’s a soundtrack to a car crash - the split second when you crash, the memories that tear through your brain, the rush of energy right after that, and the songs that keep playing on your CD mixtape as the smoke clears.”
The album also includes collaborations with Singaporean Slodown, the “Wong Kar Wai of soul,” and South Korean artist Alice Vicious, as well as Japanese rapper Catarrh Nisin, and Seoul-based rapper Moldy.
