Who's This?
This is probably the baddest bitch you'll see in the booth
Tong 桐 (he/they)
Oriental by birth and Western by training, Tong 桐 is a Naarm-based DJ, record enthusiast, and devoted student of house music.
Emerging from Beijing’s underground dancefloors, Tong developed a deep connection to the lineage of Chicago house, Detroit techno, and New York club culture — sounds rooted in Black and queer musical traditions that continue to shape dance music today.
His sets move fluidly between deep house, disco, techno, soul, and acid, balancing classic grooves with a forward-looking energy. Drawing inspiration from figures such as Honey Dijon, Derrick Carter, and Danny Tenaglia, Tong approaches DJing as both tribute and evolution — honouring the foundations of house while pushing its rhythm and emotion into new spaces.
On the dancefloor, his selections are playful, sensual, and groove-driven, inviting bodies to sweat, connect, and lose themselves in the music.
For Tong 桐, house music is not just a genre — it is a living culture, constantly evolving.
Tong 桐（he/they）
Tong 桐 是一位来自中国、现居 Naarm（墨尔本）的酷儿 DJ。生于东方，成于西方，他的音乐深受 Chicago house、纽约俱乐部文化与 Detroit techno 的影响，在律动与情绪之间寻找属于舞池的张力。
起步于北京地下俱乐部文化的他，对 house 音乐的历史与精神有着深厚的连接。他的 DJ set 在深浩室（deep house）、迪斯科（disco）、科技舞曲（techno）、灵魂乐（soul）与 acid 等不同声音之间自然流动，将经典舞池传统与不断演化的声音能量融合在一起。
受到 Honey Dijon、Derrick Carter 与 Danny Tenaglia 等传奇人物的启发，Tong 的音乐既致敬黑人与酷儿音乐文化的根源，也透过自身的离散身份去重新理解与想像这些传统。
对 Tong 来说，DJ 不只是播放音乐，更是一种与舞池共同呼吸的过程——在律动、汗水与灯光之间，让人们相遇、连接，并在音乐中找到片刻的自由与释。
