Why I wanted to create this Blog

I am born and bred in Singapore with more than 15 years of experience in DJing. I found salvation in music in my late teens and dived deep into it as I saw how powerful a DJ can be, manipulating the movements on the dancefloor. Having had the privilege to dj at various popular establishments such as Zouk, Madam Wong, SOS, Siam Supperclub, Taboo, Stereolab, St James Power Station, Tanjong Beach Club and Ku De Ta, it has enabled me to deepen my knowledge in different genres of music ranging from the 70s to pop music and now with a main focus in house and techno.

Bandcamp -  https://bandcamp.com/   (Which I'm using mostly to find music not release on the above sites) Which will set you apart from other DJs. and many more, you should really consider buying music as it helps the artist who produce them. From these sites you can learn about different artist and their style of music (which I will touch on in my next post.
