By 1997, Lim was completely free from the mainstream entertainment world. He began to immerse himself in techno and electronic music, and formed the bands Groove Island, Ho Party, and "bit everysound" with friends. He began DJing at coffee shops, abandoned warehouses, and art galleries, and even under Taipei's Huachung Bridge and at a Linkou film studio, throwing events to introduce the electronic music he loved.
