APEX
06.15.25
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.
This month’s episode is guest hosted by SAL.
SAL is a DJ, experience curator and Boiler Room alumni based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. As a performer her music is influenced by her perspective as a member of the Chinese-Vietnamese diaspora, versatile yet bold in her selection of sounds, she’s on a constant discovery of new underground and obscure club sounds that could be infused into her distinct yet ever-changing curation. Her taste for boundary pushing production and anthemic lyricism make her a master selector of everything from techno, vogue and ballroom, bounce, baile funk and more. SAL has a knack for combining as many genres as possible in a seamless and meticulous groove – as precise as the knife-edged finish to her winged eyeliner. Her unique taste in sound has you covered from bouncing on the comfort of your throne to winding down and preparing for your split-fare uber to kick-ons.
A veteran in the Melbourne club and event scene, SAL has supported Tzusing, LSDXOXO, DJ FUCK (aka Sam Rolfes), Kush Jones, Varg2TM, Venus X (twice), Galtier, MCMLXXXV, Cem, Murder He Wrote, Crush3d, Brooke Candy, Slayyyter, Cobrah (twice), Rainbow Chan, Oscar Key Sung, Sam Gallaitry, Dave Nunes, Jengi, Yu Su and more.
