JayMe may not be a familiar name globally, but try mentioning it to any credible DJ in HK, and you will be met with wide opened eyes and a big grin. Cuz he’s one of the most respected and revered figure in the local scene.
He grew up in the 70’s witnessing the disco boom first hand. He kept his love collecting records and going to parties for more than 30 years. Began DJing from 2013 alongside his medical career, earning the title “the Disco Doctor”. Started his own Loft style private club in 2015 called Acadana (literally means Party without a care) which has become the most cherished place amongst all underground DJs. Dabbled into Techno territory in 2017 playing at Teknival, Social Room and other HK locations.
Regardless of the genre he’s playing, JayMe is still deeply rooted in old skool NYC style with just one resident DJ for the whole night, à la Larry Levan or Junior Vasquez. He wants to build things up slowly. He wants you to put your expectations at home. Dropping pop music in the middle of some dark Techno without killing the vibe. He wants to tell you a story, in his own unique musical language, with the most unforgettable plot twists. An all night long party at 宀 would be the ideal stage for him to experiment, entertain and educate.
JayMe或不是一個國際響噹噹的名字,但如果你向任何一個本地資深DJ提起JayMe,你會隨即遇上一雙閃亮的大眼晴和一個真摰笑容,因為他是香港DJ界一位備受敬重的人物。
於70年代成長的JayMe,親歷disco爆發的年代,憑著對音樂的熱情三十年來不間斷收集唱片和參與派對。以醫生本業的JayMe自2013年開始DJ生涯,風格當然為自己喜愛的Disco,因而獲得”Disco Doctor\"的稱呼。他以The Loft私人派對形式概念創立Acadana,這個意思為\"Party without a care\"的派對場地都成為各地下DJ最喜愛的地方之一,其後JayMe更進入Techno的領域如參與2017年的Teknival等等。
我們都能在JayMe身上找到各種不同曲風,但他的根源始終離不開紐約市的old skool disco風格,像Larry Levan和Junior Vasquez,一晚專屬一位DJ形式的設定。JayMe的編排屬意慢慢的層層遞進,把你心中的期望先收起,迎接意料之外。在一連串的暗黑techno中驚奇不意把流行跳舞音樂融入,仍能保持一份的共鳴氣圍。他獨有的音樂語言訴說的故事,每每都帶給我們難忘的驚喜。於宀的一整夜正給予JayMe一個好機會繼續他的實驗,教育同時帶給大家
