Narbi – Don’t Mind
Freespace Mixtape Vol. 2
Exploring the contradictions in folk music – its honesty and simplicity versus its subtle, suggestive, dark side – Narbi takes you on a journey to real and imaginary places somewhere in time.
About the track
Narbi – Don’t Mind
Composer and Lyrics: Narbi | Arranger: Hahn Rowe
Created collaboratively with Hahn Rowe, Don’t Mind is about the mood inspired by different types of “smoke” – cigarette smoke, the smoggy haze of a city, a misty forest – and the sense of danger and liberation it evokes all at once.

Teriver Cheung x Jan Curious
Freespace Mixtape Vol. 1
Teriver Cheung is an internationally touring guitarist and composer. The Hong-Kong born musician is currently an endorsed artist for the D’Angelico Guitars.
Jan Curious is the frontman of the 5-piece Chochukmo, an indie experimental rock band whose unique style blends rock music with elements of jazz, punk, dance and bossa nova. Known for their energetic live performances, the band were described by TIME as “Perhaps the most charismatic band to have emerged in southern China in recent years.” Through crossover projects with different musicians, the band aims to expand the possibilities of the Hong Kong music scene.
“Jazz is something you have to experience live. You can’t learn by watching a video. You have to be in the environment, watch other musicians.”
Live houses like Peel Fresco Music Lounge and Hidden Agenda are not just great hangouts for music fans, they’re also crucial places for musicians – spaces where they can promote their music, build a fan-base and meet and collaborate with other musicians. “I wouldn’t have met other musicians without these places,” said guitarist Teriver Cheung, who recently worked with Jan Curious of Chochukmo on a collaborative project to create new music for Freespace Happening. Live houses are an important part of the music ecology.

Mike Orange & The Universe Travellers
Freespace Mixtape Vol. 1
Musical collective Mike Orange & The Universe Travellers is the new project of Mike Orange, guitarist and composer with local rock band Chochukmo. Experimenting with different musical languages and styles,Mike works with much sought-after musicians to explore and reinterpret electronic music, adding the essence of human expression with live instruments.
Using current technologies, the process of making studio recordings often involves artists playing a song through a few times and a sound engineer ‘stitching together’ the best parts to create a flawless master track. But for Mike Orange & The Universe Travellers, cobbling together a song that sounded perfect was less interesting than capturing the most honest moments of the session, and giving the final version a human touch.
