Club Elevate 051 - DJ Possum | Echo Systems & Music as Liberation

Moopie joins Club Elevate for episode #50. The Beijing-born now Naarm/Melbourne based DJ sits down with host Ricky Nord at Solace Bar. Tracing early nights at the Mercat Basement, an architecture degree, and a philosophy on records that sits somewhere between pure function and emotional attachment.

This is an insight into a globally-respected selector's mind — what a record is really worth, and the intention behind one of Australia's most quietly respected underground labels.
