Mochipet Gives Away Master P on Atari in honor of Atari’s 40th Birthday!

In honor of Video Game Giant Atari Systems 40th Birthday Mochipet is for limited time giving away his album “Master P on Atari” on his Bandcamp page! Master P on Atari was Mochipet’s  follow up to his 808 Opus “Microphonepet” gained him a spot on 2kSports’ NBA2k9 Videogame along side acts such as Beastie Boys, N.E.R.D., and The Cool Kids and now he’s back with another Glitched Out Video Game Marathon. Master P on Atari is dirtier, bassier, and spaceier, with lazers set on full destruct. You’ll hear elements of Hip Hop, Dubstep, 8bit, IDM, Metal, and Chopped and Screwed but it is still all David Y. Wang, expanding on his already immense electronic musical pallet. There might be a reason why publications such as The Clash Magazine (UK), Bay Guardian, and SFWeekly has nomited him as one of the Best Electronic Act of 2008 and one to watch for in the future!

Mochipet’s Interview with Vortex Magazine

 

Mochipet just recently did an interview with Vortex Magazine.

In this interview, Mochipet discusses everything ranging from his new music, what it’s like to run Daly City Records, and where some of his favorite places to tour are. Here’s a quote from the interview that received some online attention, ‘over all I think we need to treat humanity more like a family and less like a business. We are human beings lets start acting like it. We need to pull together and help each other rather then fight each other.’

Another DUB MISSION debut ! Ten years in the making, musical veteran MOCHIPET will bring a special set dedicated to the more roots and dancehall side of dubstep from his collection to DUB MISSION. Born in Taiwan to a rocket scientist father and a kindergarten teacher mother, David Y Wang aka Mochipet has traveled the globe from Europe to Asia and everywhere in between. With many overseas and U.S. tours under his belt, he has had his music featured in videos games with the Beastie Boys, and performed by a twenty-piece orchestra at New York’s Carnegie Hall. David sees no boundaries in music, which is why he has worked with the likes of Professional Skateboarder Ray Barbee, techno queen Ellen Allien, jazz drummer Weasel Walter of The Flying Luttenbachers, and mashup DJ Z-Trip. Recently his songs have been dropped by DJs like Bassnectar. He just finished a tour with Sound Tribe Sector 9, and is currently in the studio, working on his new release Rawr Means I Love You which is due out later this year.

Mochipet Featured in Freq Magazine Canada!

Try and think of a musician these days who is more endearing than California’s David Wang, aka Mochipet. The man dons a purple dinosaur costume for his performances, has a DJ name which originates from the tiny rice mould animals he used to make with his grandmother, and is generally a cheery, optimistic dude, as evidenced by his actions following his second laptop theft.

While on tour in New Orleans, Mochipet’s laptop was stolen from a show. But, rather than wring his hands or lose his shit, he rallied by posting a 26-track collection on his Daly City Records label website alongside a new tune: “You Can Steal My Laptop But You Can’t Steal My Swing.” This came with a message: “My friend Graz suggested that I put up a page with some of my music in return for donations… so please download and enjoy the music and give what you can. If you can’t give, that’s OK too… I find the best release for something stolen from you is sometimes to give something away.”   READ ON..
