Big up to international music exchange programs like RBMA (Red Bull Music Academy, www.redbullmusicacademy.com) that offer independent music makers and artists from around the globe opportunities to participate in workshops and play gigs overseas. Each year the Academy is staged at a different location and the lucky few chosen to attend enjoy a two-week vacation and musical adventure free of charge.

"There's even an on-site open bar that serves beer, wine and, of course, Red Bull, every afternoon. This year, it will be held at Barcelona, Spain. Doesn't it sound fantastic?" says Zephec, the first and only RBMA alumnus from Taiwan, who took part in last year's Academy in Toronto.

Down in the Taijungle tomorrow night the old and new of the house music scene hook up at Zoo for a night of intriguing and intimate partying.

On its fourth time around the block, Latex is returning to its revved-up sexuality for a steamy party, a month earlier than usual, brought forward after its last outing broke all ticket sale records for Zoo with 400-plus people in attendance for a night of electro war and porno love.

Headlining the event is the Godfather of electronic dance music in Taiwan, Victor Cheng, with young cat Kolette prowling around the outside area with her very own brand of electronic music. The Vinyl Word caught up with Kolette to find out more about her sound, electro-rock punk.
