Tsubi Club

Tsubi Club is a hyperpop music project based in Los Angeles, California, headed by American record producer Timothy Aspan (born July 14, 1999), also known as Soren. Aspan originally produced sample-heavy lo-fi beats as Biskwiq, but rebranded to Tsubi Club in 2021, releasing the viral single "Burbank House." After a three year hiatus, he followed it up with "Laced Up" in 2024, and released his debut studio album, Trinket, in 2026.

Career

In 2017, Aspan began creating music as Biskwiq, primarily making lo-fi beats with frequent samples of late-2000s to mid-2010s pop rap songs such as "Over" by Drake, "Acid Rain" by Chance the Rapper, and "My Chain" by Gucci Mane. He also incorporated "Will Ferrell-era comedic soundbites" into his music. Aspan collaborated with singer Forrest Frank for multiple songs in 2018.

Aspan stopped releasing music under Biskwiq in 2020 and rebranded to the alias Tsubi Club, short for Tsunami Bitch Club. He released the project's debut single, "Burbank House", in October 2021. The song took influences from emo rap, alternative, and hyperpop and makes use of pitched-up vocals and electric guitars. It was accompanied by a multimedia music video drawing inspiration from anime. The song gained popularity after Aspan supported Aries on his 2022 Australia tour. After a three-year hiatus, Aspan released "Laced Up" in August 2024, which sampled "This Must Be My Exit" by Oso Oso. The music video continues a story established in "Burbank House" and depicts Aspan washing up on a beach and fighting his way off of it. In November, he also released a cover of The Pillows' "The Third Eye" for the fan-made collaborative project FLCL Reanimated, which contained over 200 other artists.

On April 8, 2026, Aspan released his debut studio album as Tsubi Club, Trinket. He had announced the album a week prior, on April Fools' Day. Aspan discusses the hardships of being an artist in the album's lyrics, and the sound of the album has been compared to Porter Robinson, Roy Blair, and video game music. He began production on the album in November 2025, and completed it within five months. Citing his inspirations for Trinket, Aspan named Ging Nang Boyz, 454, The Go! Team, the Katamari Damacy soundtrack, Cymbals, GRRL, Jenny01, Steve Reich, Marsh Crane, Username, Leroy, Sleigh Bells, Plus-Tech Squeeze Box, Dijon, Chocolat and Britney Spears.
