很多人都有過成為音樂製作人一展所長的想法。倫敦長大的 Flora YTW 憑著對音樂的熱誠及才華，曾到倫敦、紐約、東京及西班牙的Ibiza島等各地的大小場合當 DJ 及音樂編輯，更擁有在雜誌 Dazed and Confused 音樂部門六年的工作經驗。喜愛 House 和 Techno 的 Flora 亦於今年加人 W Hotel 的大家庭，在這間標榜設計及音樂元素的年輕酒店品牌任職 W Music Curator (暫譯: 音樂總監) 。今次我們邀請了 Flora 大談她的工作及個人音樂喜好。

X：《Milk X》 F：Flora YTW

X：Would you please send your birthday greeting to Milk X 8th anniversary?

可以為《Milk X》八週年送上祝賀語嗎？

F：Happy 8th Bday! Still a young'un!

恭祝八週年生日快樂。

X：Please share your luckiest incident that has ever happened in your life.

請分享你最幸運的一件事。

F：I can't really narrow it down but being able to travel the world and play music feels pretty lucky!

能夠做我喜歡的事可算是相當幸運，包括可以到處旅遊及玩音樂。

X：What is your role as a W Music Curator? 

請簡單介紹你的工作。

F：My role is to look after the musical direction of W Hong Kong, so booking new and interesting artists/DJs, curating parties involving the W brand’s passion points of music, fashion & design and also being a resident DJ myself.

音樂一直是香港W酒店的重要元素，我致力推動音樂為己任，物色及邀請具才華的音樂人於W酒店現場演出，並與多個公司及時裝品牌聯手舉辦大型音樂派對，當然我自己亦是酒店的駐場DJ。

X：What inspired you?

你從哪裡獲得靈感？

F：New underground music and fashion labels, conceptual art, good writers and travelling all inspire me. 

地下音樂、時裝品牌、概念藝術、好的作家及旅遊。

X：What was your favourite party this year so far? 

你今年最喜愛的音樂派對？

F：The Future Brown show at Oslo in Hackney, East London earlier this year before IMOVED to Hong Kong. A dozen MCs got on stage as the super-group made up of artists NGUZUNGUZU, Fatima Al Qadiri and J-Cush made their debut performance.

X：What are your music predictions?

未來的音樂趨勢？

F：I'm thinking the wave of hyper-pop post-Internet musicians and visual artists are already suffering a backlash but can only grow bigger.

我認為那些post-internet 的超流行歌手與玩視覺藝術的音樂人彼此反衝，但絕對會是音樂界的大趨勢。

X：The track you always play to rescue a dance floor?

一首炒熱舞池氣氛的歌曲。

F：Hackney Parrot VIP (feat Tessela) - Special Request
 

X：The best track from your favourite new artist?

一首來自你近日喜愛的歌手的推介歌曲。

如果你可以擁有一個超能力，那會是...

F：Endless stomach space.

無限的胃容量。

X：If you were not W Music Curator, where and what would you be doing now?

假如你今日並不是W酒店的音樂總監，你會在哪裡及做些什麼？

F：Travelling to weird places and making music

到世界各個奇異地方旅行，及創作音樂。

X：Where can we actually get access to your music creations, apart from going to the hotel ourselves?

除了親身去到 W 酒店的 Woobar，哪裡可以欣賞到你個人的音樂作品？

F：I will upload my music to my personal blog.

我會上載我的音樂到個人網誌。
