About the music
There are no venues in Hong Kong that are dedicated to fulfilling the aural desires of house music fans, especially in the heart of Hong Kong’s nightlife arena. Pure House has been setup with such an agenda, and aims to deliver quality music, through a medium of high caliber DJs; all the performing DJs are signed and managed by EA Management, a division of Entertaining Asia.
With the Electronic Dance Music scene being ever-evolving, it is essential to have DJs that are both knowledgeable as well as motivated by their passion for the music. Expect to hear sets that encompass the most upfront, classic and cutting edge house music, where boundaries are made only to be broken.
DJ Tynee Music style: House (Deep, Tech)
Real name Elaine Shin, TYNEE ( “Tiny”) grew up in New York. After returning to Hong Kong to work in Asia, Tynee immersed herself in the more Progressive sounds of the U.K. At the time, the rave scene just commenced there. Since the beginning of her clubbing days, Tynee was very particular about knowing a track’s name, label, mix, and related details. Perhaps that was a sign of things to come. But she was still searching for her true calling. A trip to India spurred a few years of dabbling with fashion design. By the spring of 2004,Tynee gradually dropped everything and went into DJing full-on.
The sounds of Sasha, Dave Seaman and Slacker inspired the direction of music Tynee secured for her own personal listening pleasure around the late 1990s. By 1998, breakbeat started becoming a major sound where Tynee was. The vibe was so astounding at the time. It was around then that she hammered to hear tunes from Meat Katie, Adam Freeland and Rennie Pilgrem. It was a most awesome experience when she got to play Adam Freeland and Meat Katie in Hong Kong! To this day, artists like Momu and Habersham still make her have goose bumps! Off the breakbeat front, DJs and producers such as Booka Shade, M.A.N.D.Y. and Trentemoller are major influences on her sound behind the DJ booth.
Today, Tynee has emerged as one of the toughest and sexiest DJs in Hong Kong. She is one of the resident DJs at Volar, one of Hong Kong’s hottest clubs. It is at Volar that she had many opportunities to play alongside some of the world’s top DJs, who come to play at Volar regularly. Concurrently, she is also a resident DJ of ZUMA from London, and Volar’s other very exclusive club Halo. On top of DJing there, she hosts a club night called AUDIO VIXEN, offering the finest unusual arrangement of audio and visual pleasure. Audio Vixen strives to showcase female DJ talent.
Cities that Tynee toured in: Barcelona ( Spain), Sevilla ( Spain), Valencia ( Spain), Moscow Russia, Bangkok Thailand, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Guilin, Hainan Island, Huangzhou, Nanning, Shanghai, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Xiamen
Tynee has shared the stage with: Adam Freeland, Derrick May, Nick Warren, Paolo Mojo, Guy Gerber, Hernan Cattaneo, Meat Katie, Mike Monday, John ’00 Fleming, Miss Kittin, Lisa Loud, Ricky Stone, Tommie Sunshine, Dollz@Play, Greenskeepers, DJ Igor, Lee Cabrera, Slok
May Acuna Music Style: House (House, Uplifting/Electro)
May arrived in Hong Kong back in 1998 to work as resident DJ of Dusk Till Dawn bar and also played at Insomnia. After deciding to take another step forward, she jumped ship and became Entertainment Manager and resident DJ at Edge, the biggest live music venue in Central, in 2002.
May has to be one HK’s most unique female talents. With a passion for house music, she has destroyed dancefloors throughout Hong Kong and China with her funky and progressive sound. With years of experience and memorable sets at events like Hed Kandi and Ministry of Sound, May brings nothing but ‘Mayhem’ to any dancefloor.
May’s style is defined by two influences: her DJ heroes and her personality. With influences like Miguel Migs, David Morales, Raul Rincon, Mark Knight and Danny Tenaglia, expect to hear uplifting, wild, deep and funky house.
She has played at Chapter Three, Club 97 for their Diva Nights, Glide & Swerve’s Denim Party in 2002 and House of Sirens Aids Concern/Viva Glam Party in 2003, the Celine Dion Concert After-party, and has played at different venues such as Red, Lost, Soda, and MO Bar at Mandarin Oriental Landmark, as well as various clubs all over China.
