“ej’s biggest assets are her beats and how she puts them down…“ Ku De Ta Bali online magazine
From an avid clubber who spent most of her weekends soaking up the electronic dance music scene in Singapore and it’s region since the early ‘90s, to quite a lovely beat-serving jock behind the console (not to mention one of the most sought-after homegrown imprint Singapore has to offer), it seems to be yet another natural progression for this self-taught dj, whose influences includes Dennis Ferrer, John Tejada, Radioslave, Brodinski, Angela Flame, Henrik Schwarz, Sascha Funke and Joris Voorn amongst others. Through her versatility she eventually developed an impeccable taste in electronic music, digitally coutoured mostly for the discerning audience.
This deckmistress who is the only local female dj so far who’ve scored the JUICE DJ Quest Champion title since it’s inception in 2002, breathes by the dj consoles, meddling diligently with downtempos, bar grooves, house, deep house, tech house, minimal techno and techno.
Also hailed as the BEST NEW DJ 2008 by Juice Singapore, EJ is considered to be one of the scene’s fastest player to secure dj slots in the most respectable music venues in Singapore within the first year of her entrance into the scene. A weekly residency at the morrocan-inspired Balcony Bar lead her to making regular appearances at Q Bar Singapore, coccolatte, dempseyHOUSE, LooF, ZOUK and various Cannery outlets, namely; PURE@Ministry of Sound, Amino, Aurum by The Clinic, and notably, Kandi Bar by Hed Kandi; pushing the eclecticness of bar grooves, the myriad spectrums of House and the beautiful simplicity of minimal.
2008 alone has seen her nuking the clubland and packing the dancefloor in Kuala Lumpur and Colombo while embarking on a 1-year residency with the esteemed Supperclub Singapore. There, she also ran a weekly night called theloveaffair, promoting the deep, dark, driving, techy and minimal beats of house and techno, with premier dj line-ups joining forces with her. Despite still being an underground sound for the masses in this part of the globe, she managed to garner a dedicated following of hedonistic heads tuned to her particular brand of minimal frequencies.
2009 saw her returning to Colombo and invading the music meccas in Bali. In a span of 3 nights, she was churning out sunset vibes at the legendary Ku De Ta, got housey with the house kittens at The Living Room and dropping a barrage of minimal techno and tech house for the dancefloor footsoliders at the infamous Doublesixx club.
EJ is admittedy not Magda and she does NOT make the tea. But she can make you cry with her deep, yet soulful melody-tinged styling, all while maintaining her diversity without compromising on her signature attitude and fluent technique, either behind the console of a bar or a dancefloor. The future already sees her expanding her music versatility while spreading her wings beyond this lil red dot.
