Mochipet

David Wang, performing as Mochipet, is a central figure in the American electronic underground, specifically within the glitch and breakcore movements of the 2000s. His sound identity is defined by a 'more is more' philosophy, blending hyper-edited breakbeats with a vast array of samples ranging from hip-hop acapellas to noise synthesis.

His career arc reflects a restless polymath, moving from jazz radio and web design into a prolific recording career that spans labels like Tigerbeat6 and his own Daly City Records. Wang's cultural position is that of a bridge-builder, connecting the intellectual rigor of IDM with the visceral energy of the Bay Area's underground party scene. His influence web is extensive, having collaborated with everyone from Ray Barbee to Ellen Allien, and he is often cited alongside peers like Kid606 and Otto Von Schirach for injecting a sense of fun and absurdity into the often-serious world of experimental electronics. Critical consensus highlights his technical proficiency in beat manipulation and his ability to maintain a distinct, playful personality amidst dense, challenging sonic structures.
