Yao presents an hour of soulful, percussive tunes ranging from 70s jazz to footwork, bailefunk and soundtrack musings.
Growing up in California listening to a colorful palette of sounds and rhythms ranging from soul, high-life, hip- hop and electronic music, this multifaceted DJ and producer brings a wide sound and scope to the music he presents and creates. An admirer of many 'genres,' he is constantly looking for the through lines in different arrangements of sound and how to marry them. Some ten years ago, his musical journey led him to Hong Kong where he co-managed well- respected, underground venue XXX Gallery for 7 years. Now at Eaton HK where he programs and curates their music and culture offerings, he is strong believer in community building and cross-cultural exchange and sees music as a great vehicle in achieving that.
