Next in our mix series, Teng takes us on a journey to Tai Long Wan. Much like the hike itself, the mix starts with some sweaty uphill beats then arrives at a tranquil destination.

MIX002 - Teng (香港)

來自美國洛杉磯的製作人Liquid Earth，以Urulu名義遠渡香江在宀與我們一起慶祝踏入2019年新年。Urulu不忘香港，特地製作了一個mix set名為「Ferry to Lamma Island」，音樂型格亦豐層次，滿載著對香港的美好回憶。

本名Taylor Freels，於全球新冠肺炎之初開始以Liquid Earth之名為新製作人代號，現今已發行兩張EP，也在美英兩地的獨立廠牌Butter Side Up、 TerraFirm及 Lemak Records旗下推出其製作。
宀期待Taylor再次踏足香港。

Liquid Earth (LA) played at 宀 New Years of 2019, under the Alias Urulu. He lovingly shipped over a mix as a memory of his visit. “Ferry to Lamma Island” is an eclectic, undulating, sensation of layered sounds. Upbeat and mesmerising, with hints of Hong Kong.

Taylor Freels birthed Liquid Earth at the beginning of the pandemic and has already self-released two EP’s, released on Butter Side Up (Leeds), TerraFirm (Pittsburgh) and Lemak Records (LA).

One hundred & thirteen brings Italian born, Berlin based Notte Infinita to the series. A mesmerising bass driven journey.  The euphoric, rolling mix of deep techno, bass & beyond is reminiscent of Notte Infinita's impressive productions. Having released music via  @oscilla-sound & @indexrecords, he explores space & rhythm through a psychedelic blend of deep, bassy sounds.

So happy to have him as part of the series -- thanks Giovanni :)

A special one for #114 from a dear friend and renowned but noble talent, Montreal based @priori-ties. Head of the ever-impressive NAFF output (@naffrecordings), world class DJ & chameleon producer, he is constantly working on something new and exciting.. never missing a beat. 

One would only have to indulge in Priori's impressive back catalogue to attest to his consistent quality but evolution of style and creative flow. Seeing Francis play multiple times on his recent tour to Australia really cemented all of this for me.- one of the best in the biz! 

Thanks so much for being part of the series Francis <3

Armenian artist @davenyxaether has been a focal point of our music consumption, lapping up each mix and release with fervent hunger, since his explosive track "strngr" on Serbian compilation @kepasaparadoks. His productions and mixes reach a level of frenzied beauty many can only dream of. Traversing deep ambient explorations, through grimey bass to fiery heights of percussive madness. His latest release on @typelessrecords is a further testament to his unique taste and skill for carving up volatile, percussive, bass-heavy hits. Dave N.A. everybody. Sit back (or stand up), whip out your gun fingers and enjoy.

Living Room n°50 ~ @djbirdbath

q. pls introduce yourself
a. My name is Ian Baxter and I produce music as DJ Birdbath and am currently based in the sunny top of New Zealand's south island.

q. is there a story behind the mix?
Not as such, I just tried to go with my first impulse for the song choice.

q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?
I reckon it's best enjoyed in a comfy place with some headphones maybe on a bus or train.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...
Definitely the pile of comfy pillows a friend made covers for from an old wall hanging. I've been making lots of music and this mix whilst nestled amongst them.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
I'm always working on bits of music and samples and am very excited for my EP to come out on APPX: ( @appendixfiles ) on the 24th of March.

Living Room n°50 ~ DJ Birdbath

The Album tells us about the colonization of cloned humans of the future and about modernity's attempt to help nature and finds itself in the beginnings, when archaic man coexisted naturally with extraordinary creatures of the world, flora and fauna. Everything is hopeful if you breathe......

Introducing a new 宀 mix series, our DJ’s take you on an intimate journey to a favourite spot in Hong Kong.

今日在此推出全新宀Mix 系列，為大家帶來一系列本地DJ精彩而親密個人的音樂之旅。

由Misty Penguin打響炮，全新mix 「 𝙻𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚕𝚕 𝚘𝚗 𝚃𝚂𝚃 𝙷𝚊𝚛𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚛」，如深海的氣圍及水浪盈盈之音，夾雜著百般滋味，連帶著引人入勝的調子和奇異節拍，效果竟是一陣陣驚歎。 Misty Penguin乘著這個機會，享受為眾生尋找音樂的快感。

Mix001 - Misty Penguin (香港)

宀 is a music venue in the very heart of Hong Kong focused on bringing people together through carefully selected electronic music acts and cultural activities. The 100-capacity venue will bring a roster of leading international performers while nurturing local and regional talent.

宀 (pronounced "mihn" is the Chinese Radical 40 with a different pronunciation according countries. It has no literal meaning but can be likened to a roof or shelter. This is a place where you can express yourself freely. This place is for dancing. This is a place to learn. This is safe space where you will not be harassed, discriminated, criticised or harmed emotionally or physically. This is a place where all Races, Genders and Sexual identities are welcome. To safeguard this vision, there will be a no-photo policy applied inside the club.

宀 has been imagined by a group of music and audiophile enthusiasts who have chosen a Funktion One soundsystem in a room carefully engineered by one of the region's leading experts in acoustics.

「宀」是一個位於香港中心地帶的全新音樂場地，宗旨在於希望能夠透過精心挑選的電子音樂以及其他文化藝術活動，將人們聚集起來。這個能夠容納100人左右的場地，不只將帶來國際型的表演者，也將會成為亞太區、本地菁英的培育地。

「宀」這個中文字的部首在不同國家有不同的發音，在字形上像是一個屋頂、一個藏身處。這是一個你/妳可以自在表現自己的地方。這是一個你/妳可以盡情跳舞的地方。這是一個你/妳可以找尋人生的地方。這是一個歡迎所有種族、性別、性傾向認同的地方。為了保護這樣的宗旨，在這裡禁止所有拍照攝影的行為。

「宀」的靈感啟發是來自於一群熱愛音樂及音響系統的同好，也因此他們選擇了Funktion One音響，並精準的由香港一位傳音效果專家特別為這個場地量身訂製調整而成。
