APEX (Asia Pacific Exports) focuses on delivering music from the deepest corners of the globe; the Asia Pacific. Run by Chinese-New Zealander DJ, Jess Fu, APEX welcomes guest DJs from across the Asia Pacific and it’s diaspora. The show dives into all genres from all centuries; from disco to indie rock, to electronic to traditional, indigenous music.

Few DJs on the globe – let alone China – traverse musical worlds as fluently as Knopha. It sounds like a cliche, but he is literally as comfortable smashing a warehouse rave with broken techno, as he is channeling the gentle seaside ambient vibe of his adopted hometown Xiamen. It’s with this versatility (meaning both technical skills and a monster appetite to find differ ent styles of incredible music) that Knopha has earned a place in the top tier of Chinese dance music. He’s done it in a characteristically sneaky way – just a few years ago, gigs were few and far between besides his own impeccably curated Beatween events (Orpheu The Wizard, MNDSGN, Yu Su, Mr Ho, Pender Street Steppers, Bell Towers, PLO Man and others). Noone knew how hard he was digging, and learning a production craft.

When they caught on, things moved fast – Knopha quickly became the go-to to support cutting edge acts across the country (Efdemin, Hodge, Laurel Halo, Dixon, Project Pablo). But now, after headlining nights himself with Elevator (Shang hai), Minh (HK), Savage (Hanoi), TAG (Chengdu), Zhao Dai (Beijing), Loopy (Hangzhou), and Darker Than Wax (SG), it’s dawned on bookers and ravers alike, that he’s not just a strong support – he had been hiding peak-time bombs all along.
