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.

Kaishandao (开山刀, Mandarin for ‘machete’) is Kristen Ng, a Wellington-born musician, producer, writer and organizer, based in Chengdu.

As the force behind DIY events label Kiwese, which has toured NZ artists such as Orchestra of Spheres, The All Seeing Hand, WOMB, etc, and co-founder of cdcr.live, an online platform dedicated to amplifying Chinese music culture, Kaishandao’s output is a blend of complex origins and eccentric imperfections that chops a lost and found heritage into a playful mash-up of delirious dance music.

Following appearances on NTS and Boiler Room, her debut EP ‘Homeland’ was released in 2021. followed by a relentless 20-date national tour, where her live set has become a fixture at clubs and festivals alike across post-pandemic China.
