Taiwanese Jurassic-pop duo The Dinosaur’s Skin takes flight with their first UK single
The Dinosaur’s Skin, a quirky and evocative Jurassic-pop duo from Taiwan, has landed in the UK music scene with their enchanting single “Meteor Shower”. Featuring the spellbinding vocals of Golden Melody Award-winning singer Waa Wei, this track blends galactic love with prehistoric melancholy.
“Meteor Shower” is a love song that stretches across time and space, told through the narrative of two asteroids hurtling toward Earth. Its bittersweet lyrics, complemented by retro beats and dreamy synths, evoke the fleeting yet eternal quality of love. The Dinosaur’s Skin weaves a story of cosmic connection, transforming their melancholic origin—dinosaurs mourning their extinct kin—into universal themes of courage, farewells, and devotion.
The duo, composed of “Trex” and “Triceratops”, survived the Cretaceous extinction through a wormhole, only to emerge in modern Taipei. Their music channels their loss and hope into ethereal tunes that resonate beyond geological epochs. From the distorted warmth of toy-like synths to lo-fi harmonies and detuned electric guitars, their sound crafts a time-traveling escapade for listeners.
With the accolades from their debut EP “Millions of Years Apart”—which garnered nominations at both the Golden Melody and Golden Music Awards—their unique voice has been celebrated worldwide. Now with “Meteor Shower”, The Dinosaur’s Skin is poised to share their playful yet poignant Jurassic dreams with an even broader audience.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
