We are influenced by the many artists and musicians who come to our place...
Come Create and Conspire with us.....
Hundreds of musicians and artists have been through the Dakeng Refuge over the years. The Refuge was the private home of Boston Paul with the first floor and yard used for parties and friends. After a few years, he realized that his place was attracting many of the Artists, Musicians and Bohemians from around the island. About two years ago, he opened up the 1st floor and the lovely yard for the Artist. Many called his place a refuge from Taichung City thus the name.
Since the Refuge has been made available to those wanting to 'get away' to create music and/or art, read a book from the Refuge's vast library, or simply lay in the grass and bask in the sun/moon light listening to live music from the Refuge Studio, hundreds have made their way there.
It is not easy to find, you must know someone to get there, but once you have made your way through the red tape, you will undestand why... and it is well worth it.
The Refuge Boasts guests from all over the world including India, Canada, the USA, Thailand, Japan and many more. Be sure to sign the guest book with your email and a quip before you depart....
The Dakeng Refuge has recorded about 500 GB of music over the last 5 years. Sometime in the near future, the best of the best, the cream of the crop, will be put onto a CD. If you are featured on one of the CDs you will get proper props and a free CD of course.

Thanks SSSOOOOO much for the B'day party-Paulstock rocked and jammed (: Took a week to recover-i must be getting younger. Hope to visit you and Sandra again soon-let me know if your comin' down South, and i'll 'open sesame' my secret cave. Hugs,-M-
Great News! I'm looking forward to the P & P Party on the 28th!!! I'm buying my plane ticket now... so as long s there's a seat still available leaving the country on the the 29th, I'm there to burn down Guan Yin Mountain behind your house on the 28th!
Great to hear about the Native Space CD too! Can't wait to hear it... and you don't know what a great gift that will be to bring back to my dad! It'll probably make him get up and dance, and that ain't too easy a thing for him to do right now!!! Thaks for the mastering work on that bro! There are so many new Vids up on Militant Hippi that I want to watch, but can't yet because I'm packing up down here and getting ready to hit the road... looking forward to seeing them when I get to the Refuge.
