Adrian - Groove Session (Annual 2009)



















As with almost everyone else, Adrian started out listening to english and chinese pop which was popular back in his early study days before he discovered The Beloved’s debut album “Happiness” winning him over to listen to british indies dance music. He was first inspired to DJ by hearing Zouk’s resident and guest DJs back in the early 90’s. Some of his musical influences to date include John Digweed, Francois Kevorkian, Carl Craig, Chris Fortier, DJ Three and producers Brian Eno and Youth amongst others. His biggest influence had been Sean Cusick.

Adrian goes on the decks more for the interest and passion rather than as a necessity. Notably, this interest has brought him behind the turntables at clubs such as Zoukclub, Liquid Room, Nox, Insomnia CafĂ©, Dbl O, Home, Milk Bar and Centro. And with his willingness to embrace a wider scope of dance music, he’s in an exclusive mailing list with members like Shiloh, Nick Warren, John OO Fleming, Medway, Deepsky, Max Graham, BT, Chris Cargo, to name a few, for discussion on music productions.

For someone that cites the Deep Dish remix of Everything But The Girl's "Wrong" as one of his all time choice tunes, it is still hard to generalize a standard deejay set by Adrian, due to his appreciation of other music genres. Perhaps one can say that he plays deep and dubby house with a sprinkling of progressive house and a healthy serving of infectious groovy basslines.

DJ 7 - Love is Perfection



















Who is this up-and-coming raising star? She is Sha Yeap a.k.a DJ7 who is still a novice behind those DJ wheels and decided to label herself as a bedroom DJ, gleefully learning the art of producing Mix tapes at the moment.

She believes a good piece of music is able to transmit, connect and restore souls but building skills and delivering quality music nonetheless are important as well. Thus, she admires artists that work hard towards their passion and devote their life for the love of music.

Folks out there, do keep an eyes on this babe.
