Taiwan

Jesse Chen is a key figure in Taiwan's electronic music scene, celebrated for his unique fusion of techno and deep house. In 2019, he co-founded Pleasure Always Brings Pain (PABP) with visual designer Sebastian Wu, creating a platform that seamlessly integrates sound and visual artistry. Their vision expanded further in 2024 with the opening of 潮電Bar&RecordStore in Taipei.

潮電Bar&RecordStore, meticulously designed by 2byWu&Chen, centers on the historic Taipower Building on Chaozhou Street. The space has become a cultural hub, championing Taipei's contemporary electronic music scene. It offers a curated selection of vinyl records and an immersive listening environment, serving as a beacon for music lovers and audiophiles alike.

Jesse has played a pivotal role in bringing world-class electronic talents to Taipei. His curated lineup includes Perc, Henning Baer, Emika, Daniela La Luz, Parallx, MCMLXXXV (Herrensauna), Introversion, Gerald VDH, MELATRONIX (Elad Magdasi & Mathias Weber), and legendary Berlin techno/post-punk pioneer Mark Reeder.
Known for blending tracks across eras and genres, Jesse’s performances are rooted in the traditions of techno while introducing rare and unheard sounds to Taipei’s music scene. His innovative, genre-defying sets have garnered widespread acclaim, leading to performances at premier venues and events such as Spectrum Formosa and Pawnshop, as well as international shows in South Korea, Thailand, and Germany.

As a passionate advocate for progressive soundscapes and inclusive dance floors, Jesse continues to push the boundaries of Taiwan's music culture. With 潮電Bar&RecordStore as a cornerstone, he cements his legacy as one of Taiwan's most dynamic and influential DJs.
