DJ Reiki - Hare Tango

















Born and raised in Singapore. It was in 1999 when DJ Reiki stumbled upon the hard hops of Omar Santana and the nu-skool breaks of Adam Freeland. Her style of DJing gradually developed, resulting in sets of high impact tunes, frantic beats, swirling analogues and monster hooks.

Since Reiki’s first well-received club appearance in Phuture and her debut promo mixset entitled Equlibrium 001: Dawn of Breaks, she has moved on to spin for leading local dance music events such as Sirens, Phuture Breaks, Guerilla, Pop My Cherry and 44Beatz.

With a knack for dropping wicked tunes that heat up the dancefloors, she has supported drum n bass DJs including Aphrodite, Mickey Finn & John B as well as breaks heavyweight, General Midi (UK). On top of that, her growing reputation had earned her guest spots in other parts of Asia where she headlined Breaks Centro & Flava Breaks in Kuala Lumpur, Clash of The Titans Party in Kota Kinabalu, Salem Innovation Sessions & Audio Vixen in Hong Kong and Sound Element's 'Breakzelecta' in Bangkok.

Scenewise, Reiki was a pillar in gathering enthusiasts to document the Breaks music movement in the form of writing articles, music reviews, video interviews and podcast production in the now defunct Breakinasia site. More recently, her affiliation with 44Beatz parties has given her a scope to indulge in a wider musical spectrum and step up beyond the sound of breakbeat.

Never the one to be afraid of stepping outside the comfort zone , she delivered shimmering sets of house anthems and electro thumpers at the local iconic gay club, Taboo and Pure room at Ministry Of Sound, much to the delight of the punters on the floor.

Come 2010, expect more surprises in the pipeline from the pimptress. For a start, she is back hosting her monthly Fixation show at the underground Meshradio station, whipping up the cream on fresh nu tunes as well as lime-lighting mixsets of undiscovered gems culled from around the world.

Alongside the radioshow, catch her sharing deck duties with Helipad Resident, Special K at the Amped Up parties & with local DJ hero, Brendon P at Hare Tango nights. More whipcream?
