Tzusing. 東方不敗. *2023 Reissue

One of the most sought after and definitive records in our label's catalog has FINALLY been repressed! Tzusing's in demand, now cult, 2017 debut lp returns to vinyl. A genre breaking and genre defining album in the current world of electronic music, this lp has resonated far beyond the conventional echo chamber of what's out there these days and has been heralded by many outside the "scene". A truly singular work that stands out among the rest, a modern classic in our eyes.

Same artwork, same mastering, new cut.

After three stand out eps over the last three years for L.I.E.S. Tzusing delivers his debut lp for the label. Here we get seven tracks of precison crafted electronics, unmistakenly taking the artists signature industrial fueled sound and opening it up to a new dimension far beyond the typical metal beat clang. Emotional, dark and powerful, the album title taken literally means "Invincible East" based on a character (a swordsman) in a Jin Yong novel who must make the ultimate sacrifice to attain knowledge and transform. The narrative goes in hand with the artists observations living and travelling throughout Asia and provides a haunting soundtrack for a bleak future where few dare to subvert the power structures at hand.
