Quest
The room
The ground-floor café and second-floor listening room give Quest two different tempos. Upstairs, local and visiting selectors work with vinyl in a space devoted to attentive listening.
The programme includes Taiwanese rare groove, jazz, spiritual jazz and minimal techno. Rather than taking song requests, Quest leaves the sequence to its selectors. The address is in Da’an, away from Taipei’s more concentrated nightlife streets.
