PUTOCHINOMARICÓN
Hyper-digital pop that weaponizes internet aesthetics and sharp satire. A neon-soaked, glitchy rebellion against the boring and the bigoted.

This is the sound of the internet breaking in the most beautiful way possible. It is high-definition pop that feels like it was born inside a fiber-optic cable, blending sugary melodies with a jagged, glitchy edge. The production is unapologetically synthetic, favoring bright, brittle textures and drums that hit with the precision of a software notification. It is music that lives in the tension between the artificiality of digital life and the raw, messy reality of human identity.
What makes this project truly distinctive is the way it uses the language of 'bad' pop music to deliver devastating social critiques. By reclaiming slurs and leaning into the 'cringe' of online culture, the music becomes a form of digital armor. It shares DNA with the PC Music collective but remains firmly rooted in a specific Spanish-Taiwanese queer perspective, making the global sound of hyperpop feel intensely personal and localized.
Start with 'Corazón de cerdo con ginseng al vapor' to hear the foundational blend of synth-pop and satire. If you want something more abrasive and evolved, dive into 'JÁJÁ ÉQÚÍSDÉ' for a masterclass in how to turn digital exhaustion into a high-energy dance floor manifesto.
Chenta Tsai Tseng (Chinese: 蔡真太; pinyin: Cài Zhēntài), better known as Putochinomaricón (stylized as PUTOCHINOMARICÓN), is a Taiwanese-born Spanish musician and architect. They began in the Spanish alternative music scene in 2018. Their name was created from the insults they would be referred to on the streets. They released their debut album Corazón de cerdo con ginseng al vapor in 2018, followed by Jájá Éqúísdé in 2022, the latter being described as an album of "relief after only knowing resistance".
