CHIEN is a DJ who takes inspiration from the legendary Fred P. Her sets are never static—they are sonic explorations that move through the diverse landscapes of House, Afro House, Amapiano, and 3 Step, always pushing the edge of dance music’s expressive potential.

CHIEN’s music style has a strong sense of rhythm and a primitive soul. Her solid track selection and meticulous arrangement allow listeners to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the dance floor and enjoy the music while dancing to their heart‘s content.

CHIEN 在 Fred P 的啟蒙下開始 DJ，將其精神融入自己的表演中。她勇於挑戰，堅持每次表演都作不一樣的風格嘗試，從 House、Afro House到近年來的Amapiano和3 Step，她一直在探索新的形態和可能性。

CHIEN 的音樂風格帶有濃厚的節奏感和原始靈魂。她紮實的選曲和細緻的編排，讓聽眾能夠沉浸在舞池氛圍中，盡情享受音樂和舞蹈。

About HETHERS:

Taking the less obvious path into producing via artist and event management, Alexander ‘HETHERS’ Hetherton originally made a name for himself in his native Australia by rolling deep with local S.A.S.H favourites, Jack T and Neeso.
 
Going on to team up with and manage his friend, Vic Navarro, who started a well-known radio show in Melbourne, ‘Deep Audio’, featuring artists the likes of Luciano, Paco Osuna, Robert Babicz and Mark Henning, they have since gone on to launch their own London-based label, events company and radio show, ‘Electrónica Mundial (ETAMDL)’, exclusively highlighting tracks from undiscovered and underground artists solely from one country in each show.
