Mong Tong is a Taiwanese band that has been stirring up the contemporary music scene with their unique blend of psychedelic soundscapes, traditional Taiwanese influences, and electronic experimentation. Comprised of brothers Hom Yu and Jiun Chi, Mong Tong translates to 'the east side' in Mandarin, a nod to the rich cultural tapestry that informs their music. They emerged with a sound that fuses elements of the occult, vintage Taiwanese book cover art, and a deep-rooted sense of their cultural identity.

Their highly acclaimed album "Music from Taiwan Mystery 台灣謎景," which translates to "Music from Taiwan Mystery," showcases their ability to blend eerie synth textures with traditional Taiwanese musical motifs, crafting a sound that is at once familiar and otherworldly. Tracks like "Tao Fire 道火" and "Forest Show" are emblematic of their style, mixing haunting melodies with a modern electronic pulse. With "Mystery 秘神" and "Thunder Pop," Mong Tong continues to push the boundaries of genre, delivering a sonic experience that is both viscerally powerful and mystically enchanting. As they remix, redefine and reinterpret sounds through their works, including "Why Don't We Try This? (Mong Tong Remix)," they've carved out a distinctive niche in the international music landscape.
