Why you can trust SCMP
DJ Enso aka Cassady Winston

DJ Miss Yellow aka Tung Tung. Regrets entering Miss Hong Kong, now spins electro, hip-hop, dubstep, reggae, pop and d’n’b at various club nights and fashion parties.

The former Miss Hong Kong contestant and occasional TVB actress has become as much of a club personality as DJ, and is a fabulous addition to Hong Kong’s nightlife with her constantly shifting hair color and a hue of yellow usually incorporated somewhere in her wardrobe. Obsessed with speakers, festivals, green eyes and oysters, she’d appreciate it when environmental protection isn’t just an ad on TV, but an actual lifestyle. “I see bartenders throwing clean paper towels and napkins on the wet floor instead of using a mop, just for the sake of convenience—that’s happening all over the world!”

DJ Enso aka Cassady Winston aka “gong nga DJ” (steel-teeth DJ) in the local press, because he wears grills.  Wanted to be a baseball player (pitcher/shortstop), but now plays a lot of UK bass, dubstep  and UK funky, although hip-hop is always the core.

This San Fran native started the memorable Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy and Hype Nasty club nights with Kid Fresh. And unlike Miss Yellow, he doesn’t regret joining Mister Hong Kong for the hype (…nasty). Yes, he really is a Mister Hong Kong contestant: “It was hilarious... all of us in speedos in the waiting room, waiting forever for them to call us in one-by-one. All the others were doing push-ups and using the folding chairs as dumbbells to get pumped up before the photos.” Yes, Enso is only shy and self-conscious about not being really good on the mic and is so vain that he sometimes considers which magazines and books to leave around the house for people to see.

Crazy groupie story: Not trying to call anyone out... but there was one time I found a one-meter tall portrait of me outside the door to my flat. Download his latest “On Some Lifestyle Shit” mixtape from www.myspace.com/djenso

Kid Fresh aka Fresh Kid.  Wanted to be an adult when he grows up, and now plays music within any style or genre as long as it’s stupendously splendid, original, and/or “fucking banging.”
