Island Futurism is Taiwan s first Afrobeat inspired band formed in 2018, led by DJ @llenblow, former bassist of Dub/Reggae bands Hang In The Air & Taimaica Soundsystem, and one of the purposes is to pay tribute to Fela Kuti, Father of Afrobeat. Their music infuses Funk, Psychedelic, Jazz into traditional and islandish music to create their unique sounds of the future, emphasis grooves and improvisations. Their ideology inherits Afrofuturism mainly, trying to provide a beautiful vision of the future, but transforming it into Austronesian edition by adding themes of Taiwan s aboriginal mythologies and alien legends, to coin Formobeat that only belongs to Taiwan.
島國未來主義是台灣第一個以源自70年代非洲Afrobeat為主要靈感的大樂團,由前無政府、盪在空中以及台買加環繞音效bass手愛吹倫 a.k.a. DJ @llenblow號召之下所組成,一大宗旨便是向Afrobeat之父Fela Kuti致敬。在音樂上結合了Funk、迷幻、Jazz等元素,強調的是律動與即興,亦同時在探索世界各地的島國原住民傳統音樂,並試圖溶入作品之中;在意識形態與美學上則承襲了「非洲未來主義」,再將其轉換為「南島語系」的版本,藉著導入台灣的原住民神話與外星人傳說等等,試圖打造出屬於台灣特有的Formobeat,更要對於島國的未來提出一個美好願景。
