Kaishandao is the moniker of Kristen Ng, a Wellington-born musician and producer currently based in Chengdu, China. She has been active in the Chinese underground music scene as an organiser and performer since 2015, running the online radio station cdcr.live and the touring label Kiwese, which has toured NZ artists through China such Orchestra of Spheres, The All Seeing Hand, WOMB, Strange Stains, Lady Lazer Light, Cave Circles, Alphabethead, Mr Sterile Assembly, and more. Her live hardware set has been featured on Boiler Room China and NTS Radio. This year, she self-released her debut EP 'Homeland,' followed by an extensive 20-date club tour of China, with plans for a New Zealand tour once travel restrictions ease in the future.

This DJ mix was recorded during a recent unexpected two-week hotel quarantine in Chengdu. Blending together the many moods of isolation, this quarantine mix shifts from slowburning melancholy to meditative rhythms, and lands with a medley of emotional bops to cry, laugh and dance.
