100HKD All Night

Lineup: 

Jayme (Acadana)

JayMe is one of the most respected and revered figure in the local scene, being the founder of the collective and underground club Acadana located in the New Territories and holding monthly parties with proper music curation. On top of that, he is a real music enthusiast holding an impressive collection of 4,000 vinyls at home, one of the few guys who can play everything with a very versatile style.

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.
