Grounded 017 is live, with @david.chen02 - This deep listening set is eclectic, soulful, and deep - moving through soul, deep house, nu-jazz and more. The mix feels like a reflection of David himself, selections that speak to both his softer, introspective side and his more energetic, left-field impulses. It’s a journey that reveals as much as it moves - I hope you enjoy 🫶

For access to additional mixes, tracklists, Grounded playlists and the audio mixes from these sessions, you can join us on our Patreon. It’s an archive! 🔒

Take some time to yourself & enjoy this beautiful mix ☕️🎶

BUILD IN PROCESS

But not without first diving into why we’re bringing sound system workshops into a university like UCL, and a crash course on design engineering and the physics of sound.

Many thanks to The Urban Listening Room’s technical lead @david.chen02 for leading our first day of the workshop, and to our participants for their engagement.

Join the listening session on Friday 15 May 2026, 6.30-9pm @uclurbanroom to see the sound system in process (link in bio).

ONE YEAR ON: David Chen / @david.chen02 @handlewithcare.store

A series where we check in with our contributing designers, from our 2024 Exhibit with Kindred / @kindred_ldn

David Chen (b. Dallas, 2002) is an emerging product designer and creative technologist based in London. Having recently completed a Master’s in Design Engineering at Imperial College, he is establishing a strong interdisciplinary practice which explores the intersection between DJ culture and design engineering.

What have you been up to since the exhibit?

Since the Kindred show, I’ve graduated from the Design Engineering MEng course at Imperial College. Since then, I’ve been freelancing full-time in audio-related product design and engineering, mainly designing and building custom soundsystems. Towards the end of last year, I also started a party with my friend Tai called “Motion”, which now has a residency at BBE Store in Hackney.

Your thoughts on how being part of the exhibit impacted you or your practice.

For me, the show was an introduction to a field of extremely talented designers and makers, some of whom I currently work with and all of whom I draw inspiration from.

What’s next, anything new to share?

I always find myself working on many projects at once, so I’ll narrow it down to the ones I’m most excited about. I’ve released a DJ headphone which has been gaining traction over the past month or so – I’ve been able to collaborate with some of my GOAT DJs and producers, including Benji B, Charlie Dark and Steven Julien. So I’m excited to see how far that project goes. I’m also working on a cool custom home hifi system with my friend Saji, who runs a spatial design practice called Protean. And of course, my party “Motion”, for which we are currently designing and building a soundsystem from repurposed oriental furniture. The next step for me would be to move into a proper studio space and lock in. So we’ll see how that goes.
