Reissue on black vinyl plus download. Please note new price. New Adventures In Pop" collection no. 42 Chenta Tsai Tseng, better known as PUTOCHINOMARICÓN (CHINK FAG) is a migrant originally from China, he is an architect, a musician, an activist, and a unique, inimitable character in love with pop culture from recent decades. His songs are authentic protest anthems for a new generation. This is his first label release, but he has thousands of views on YouTube and has already given us so much to talk about. Some alreday call him an "influencer" because of how intense his Instagram activity is. Some people will already be gritting their teeth. That's when PUTOCHINOMARICÓN rubs his hands together and sharpens his quill. His thing is to break down preconceptions and along these lines we already know before we start that our words are going to fall short. He makes it clear from the first minute, on the song that introduces him and opens this Mini-LP, "Puto Chino Maricón". In just thirty seconds, he tells us exactly where he is coming from: "Puto chino maricón / La gente por la calle me llama así / No me robes mi trabajo / Vete a tu puto país" (Chink fag / That's what the people on the street call me / Don't steal my job / Go back to your fucking country). How many migrant artists born in this country have we seen releasing albums? His answer is devastating: "there are barely any migrant artists because immigration policies don't offer equal opportunities". His thing is live techno-pop, with echoes of synth-pop, J-pop, disco and breakbeat, various brushstrokes of electric and auto-tunes. But what really gets him going is vitriol. Without holding anything back. He lays it out for us in "Gente De Mierda", one of his most well-known, and above all, most celebrated songs in his amazing live shows. His performance at the gay pride party was talked about a lot. It turned a celebration of difference into a critique of how part of the gay collective has sold its soul to economic interests. What he calls pink capitalism. After these eight whip cracks, you are left completely stunned.It's understandable; you've never heard anything like this. The street sound between layers of ultra-pop melodies and twisted sounds, a burst of freshness that takes you from europop to the shibuya-kei sound.
