Smoke Machine stands for the current Taipei subculture, art, and techno scene - it started at December 2009.

Smoke Machine keeps itself from falling into the platitude, the cliche, and the ordinary; it has created an international platform for Taiwan to communicate and share unique sounds.

Diskonnected is the current resident of Smoke Machine. After joining Smoke Machine in 2010, Diskonnected started involving in series of projects for Smoke Machine parties that led to the birth of Smoke Machine Podcast. Throughout the years, Diskonnected's music and taste has sculpted the style and vibe of Smoke Machine.

Andy Chiu was the resident DJ of Korner, an institution in Taiwan’s underground club culture. There he has been successful as a warm up DJ, bringing the crowds into the party mood or as the closing act, ensuring everyone dances their last energy out. More recently he held a series of all nighter, drawing large crowds, guiding them through the night. Through all of this, Andy has become a mainstay at the club and among its most lauded residents.

Inspired by various genres, among them new wave and post-punk, Andy delivers a sound that fluctuates between trippy and melancholic techno, raw energetic acid and dark ambient. With this he has been able to guide crowds through the night, leaving them in extase.

He recently debuted at Smoke Machine’s famed Organik festival, and has shared the bill with François X, Actress, Ryan Elliot, Aurora Halal, Objekt, Steve Bicknell, to name a few. In 2018, Andy had his first European debut in Arena Club, Berlin. Also played at Rural festival, Japan.
