BMC & XXX Pres. XXX Pop-up @OIL - 深圳

 Enso ( US )

A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, DJ Enso has always had a passion for building things from scratch. As a teenager, he threw drum and bass warehouse parties in Oakland, CA, before he decided to turn his attention to DJing and music production. This brought him in contact with local hiphop producer Roche in the summer of 2003, and together they founded the Solos Records music label.

DJ Enso relocated to Hong Kong in January 2007, expanding Solos’ reach into Asia and bringing him in contact with a new world of musical influences. DJ Enso produced the audio score to Akit Fong’s 2007 independent film Close to Perfect, and has collaborated with traditional Chinese vocalists on a number of recent productions. As a club DJ, he plays an eclectic mix of modern dance music, from hip hop to trap, bmore to miami bass, and electro to dancehall.

In 2011, DJ Enso founded XXX Gallery, Hong Kong’s newest and most exciting underground art and music venue. XXX has sparked intense interest throughout the region, and has been hailed as “a realignment of Hong Kong nightlife” and “a new haven for Hong Kong’s underground” (Time Out Magazine).

Over the past two years, Enso has performed for international brands such as Volkswagen, Club Monaco, Paul Smith and Steve Madden.

Partnering with DJ Kid Fresh (3 X World ITF Champ, Germany), DJ Enso has founded and hosted the cutting-edge Pimpin Ain’t Easy and Hype Nasty club nights across Asia.

 Yao 

Growing up listening to a whole palette of sounds and rhythms ranging from soul, West African, hip- hop and electronic music, this mul- tifaceted producer and DJ brings a wide sound and scope to the music he creates and presents.

After starting as a deejay in university in his native Bay Area (SF) in the 00’s, Yao began to dabble in production and with fellow musicians & friends started Solos Records, which served as an outlet for their music. In 2007, Solos released Yao’s debut work Plantain is Public (a debut rooted in hip- hop and electronic music) to rave reviews globally. After its release, he travelled (West Africa, UK & South America), gaining more life experience ( a vital ingredient for his art) & inspiration as well as meeting like- minded artists.

After some time further honing his craft working on edits, bootlegs and unique remixes of the likes of artists as disparate as Animal Collective, Ludacris, labelmate Bookworms and (NY based band) Lemonade, he released an EP entitled Coconut Dreams to close out 2015.

The work is a conceptual collection of sound- pieces based on life and love in Hong Kong. The (mostly instrumental) 5- song project drew inspiration from jazz, footwork, and bass with one foot firmly planted in hip hop.

As a DJ, you’ll find him play- ing everything from hip hop, dancehall, 60‘/70’s soul & inter- national rarities to house and bass music. Having shared the stage and billings with the likes of Benji B, De La Soul, J-Rocc, Diplo, Tyga, Shabazz Palaces, Kode 9, Roska, Samiyam and Teebs (to name a few), this young man is always ready to rock the party. Now based in Hong Kong (where he is co-manages underground venue XXX Gallery),Yao, who has traversed the world in search of the perfect beat, is always eager to spread the musical energy that emanates through his daily existence.
