Xiaolin
Xiaolin is a DJ, producer, vinyl collector, and live musician from Hong Kong. Driven by a relentless curiosity for warm sounds, complex emotions, and vivid textures, she crafts magnetic sets that unfold like a story. Drawing inspiration from the sounds of the mid‑’80s to early‑’00s, as well as her love for video games, anime, and nature, Xiaolin’s music also pays homage to her Cantonese roots.
Her synth‑heavy productions traverse a wide sonic spectrum — from gritty acid house and breaks with earthy percussion, to tripped‑out electro, bass‑driven groovers, and raw downtempo ambience that evoke a sense of romantic adventure with a dreamy, cinematic touch.
With releases on 宀, Bless You, Harmony Rec, 20/20 Vision (Exit Planet Earth), Klasse Wrecks, and Polychrome Audio, along with a live set recorded for Qeone’s SoundSculptors series, Xiaolin continues to expand her creative presence.
As a resident of 宀 Club, she has graced stages at celebrated events and venues including Sound Metaphor’s 9‑year anniversary at Panorama Bar, Unchained Festival at Blitz Club, Boiler Room Singapore, and Wonderfruit Festival.
Andy-S
Andy-S has a massive drive to bring back a purer form of partying to modern times—where people feel truly connected, open, and free; where they can dance without inhibition and express their emotions without worry. He has been the driving force and main organiser behind Reach (Reach4luvHK) and its events, with a clear motivation to unite Hong Kong’s house music community while introducing legendary artists such as Tama Sumo & Lakuti, Fred P, musclecars, and Masalo to local audiences.
Growing up in early 1980s UK in a musical household, Andy-S began playing trumpet and percussion from a young age. His journey into electronic music began in the mid-1990s, when he witnessed first-hand the raves and free parties that defined the UK underground, as well as the evolving club scene in London. His passion for DJing soon followed, leading him to build a collection of over 2,000 house, disco, and techno records—many of them rare and obscure.
Over the years, while balancing a demanding career in motor sports, Andy-S has played at notable clubs and warehouse venues across London, Brighton, and Berlin. He also co-organised the Square Root warehouse parties in London with two friends, and launched a music production project, L.U.E, alongside his longtime friend and studio partner Udo Scharfenberg (Angel D) in Berlin.
Since relocating to Hong Kong, Andy-S has been able to dedicate more time to his passion for music. He has DJed at many of the city’s top venues, including Mihn, Salon 10, BTD, Pier 1929, and Acadana. Looking ahead, exciting things are on the horizon for Reach and L.U.E, with the focus shifting toward a new production and DJ partnership with Cortecx, and new tracks ready for imminent release. You can be sure that Andy-S will continue to be one of the driving forces behind it all.

100% Wong is the chief baker — and the only woman — of 100% Bakery, a Hong Kong, Paris, and New York–based music collective on a mission to “eat (bake), play, and dance from the heart.”
Wong began her musical journey at the age of seven with classical piano, before diving into hip-hop dance at fourteen — a combination that later shaped her vibrant, rhythm‑driven style. Her sound channels energetic influences from hip-hop, house, electro breaks, and techno, all tied together by an infectious sense of groove and playfulness.
Through her mixes, Wong aims to spread positive energy and joy to listeners with hip‑swinging tracks and uplifting selections.

JayMe is also a key member of Reach, further cementing his influence in the city’s underground community.

In recent years, JayMe has continued to expand his artistic expression. His latest project included his debut live performance at the Art Basel Hong Kong Artist Showcase at Tai Kwun, as part of the yisekai duo. During the performance, he played keyboards and lead vocals alongside Woonji, blending ambient, drone, and distorted textures inspired by ’80s synthpop, nu‑disco, and his beloved cat, Sindy.
CASAMUSICA
CASAMUSICA is a Hong Kong–based DJ and curator renowned for his deep dedication to sound quality. Blending classic dance heritage with refined audiophile sensibilities, his music reflects an enduring respect for legendary sound‑focused institutions such as The Loft in New York.

He began his DJ career at the age of 18 and launched his first label, Care3, in 2012 — hosting vibrant disco and house music events across clubhouses and private venues. Within a few years, his growing influence led him to become club manager at Acadana, one of Hong Kong’s well‑known underground clubs, he later co‑founded the creative collective HKCR and the future funk / vaporwave label Neoncity Records.
He has curated countless DJ radio shows and has been instrumental in bringing international artists such as Yung Bae, Night Tempo, Macross 82‑99, Vantage, and others to perform in Hong Kong. Beyond his work as a DJ and promoter, he also performs violin with the local folk ensemble New Youth Barber Shop, appearing at Clockenflap 2017 and touring the East Sea Festival in 2018.
When clubs and venues closed during the pandemic, Heman shifted his focus toward music education and community building through his institution Millzik. There, he works to spread awareness and appreciation for DJ culture by developing educational programs in schools and collaborating with NGOs and churches.
Today, Heman continues to be an active force in Hong Kong’s electronic music scene as a core member of local DJ collectives Reach and ABYSS, staying true to his passion for nurturing and contributing to the city’s vibrant sonic landscape.

His sets are built around atmosphere and movement, while maintaining a connection between rhythm and the energy on the floor. His productions include releases on the Bricolage label with various compilation appearances and first solo EP showcasing the same spirit of sonic exploration and depth that also defines his DJ style.
Now based in Hong Kong, Cortecx has taken inspiration from the local scene while sharing his unique blend on anything from house and disco cuts through breaks and techno at venues including OMA and Acadana, bringing an uplifting, deep and driving sound to the dance floor. With a focus on future sounds, the forming of a special partnership with Andy-S promises great things with new tracks on the way and plenty of energy coming from the DJ booth to the dance floor.
