Pimpin' Aint Easy (HK)

Bio Kid Fresh It would be a gross understatement to reduce Kid Fresh to just a World class deckwrecker par excellence. This Hong Kong-based, Balkan-blooded German kid is already a living legend in the turntablism circuit, holder of 3 World ITF DJ champion titles and 5 national DMC/ITF titles, and was the founder and mastermind behind one of the planet’s most successful turntablist crews, LORDZ OF FITNESS. He is also a passionate globetrotter, multi lingual journalist, booker and co-promoter/founder of Hong Kong’s #1 indie clubnight PIMPIN’ AINT EASY. Kid Fresh has appeared on countless international DVDs, press and TV/radio channels, lo-fi bootleg remixed M.I.A., Busta Rhymes, The White Stripes and Lil’ Mama, and released critically acclaimed mixtapes such as for the Swedish music blog Discobelle’s famous Mixin’ It Up series alongside the likes of Crookers and Tittsworth. This has brought him a decent amount of blog buzz and has taken him and his unique style of DJing all around the globe, dropping jaws from Berlin to London, Paris to New York City, Bangkok to Singapore and Seoul to Jakarta, sharing decks and clubnights with the likes of Q-bert, Craze, A-Trak, Roni Size and Carl Cox in world-renowned superclubs like Fabric (London), Watergate (Berlin), Zouk (Singapore) and Circle (Seoul). He has also been DJing at corporate events for brands such as MTV, TECHNICS, SONY and MOTOROLA. The list goes on and on. Growing up in a family of professional musicians, being a violinist in elementary school, a drum soloist before reaching puberty and the leadsinger of a punkrock band as a teenager, there is no questioning his knowledge, experience and deep roots in all aspects of music culture. His musical style is eclectic and versatile, fusing hip hop with house, electro with rock, dancehall reggae with breakbeats and far beyond, covering the best of all worlds of urban dance music while being able to read any type of crowd with ease. Combined with the technical finesse and abilties of a 3 time World champion DJ, his signature style on the decks remains untouched by most of today’s A-list Club DJs. Bio DJ Enso A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, DJ Enso has always had a passion for building things from scratch. As a teenager, he threw drum and bass warehouse parties in Oakland, CA, before he decided to turn his attention to DJing and music production. This brought him in contact with local hiphop producer Roche in the summer of 2003, and together they founded the Solos Records music label. Over the past five years, the label has released curiously forward-thinking music on eight full vinyl and CD projects, 30 audio/visual podcasts and spontaneous media. DJ Enso’s production has received print and online acclaim from XLR8R, Flashmag, 3HIVE, and more. Highlights include contributions to the Solos in Stereo compilation series (2005, 2008), The Hidden Staircase Maxi-EP (2006), plus countless remixes and podcasts. DJ Enso relocated to Hong Kong in January 2007, expanding Solos’ reach into Asia and bringing him in contact with a new world of musical influences. DJ Enso produced the audio score to Akit Fong’s 2007 independent film Close to Perfect, and has collaborated with traditional Chinese vocalists on a number of recent productions. As a club DJ, he plays an eclectic mix of modern dance music, from hip hop to dancehall, bmore to miami bass and electro to juke.
