Adrian Wee - AR vol. 30















Adrian Wee is no stranger in the local club scene. Starting off as a DJ 10 years ago, Adrian steadily earned his stripes within the local club circuit and established himself as one of the finest in the country.

His first residency was at Nox in 2001. During the same year, Adrian won the title as ‘Best Upcoming DJ’ during the ‘Party Animal Awards’, and moved on to play for almost every promoter and club in Singapore, including NYE 2002 Festival held in Sentosa, alongside the best global talents like John Digweed, Technasia Charles Siegling, Kosheen and Christian Smith. The event attracted a crowd of more than 10 000.

Moving on to a residency at The Liquid Room on 2002, Adrian wasted no time initiating the crowds towards his musical style. He transformed his Saturday nights into a wild ride which his signature energetic foray into the flavours of House, Electro, Techno. The very same year, he was awarded ‘Best Local DJ’ in club magazine ‘JUICE’.

Over the years, Adrian has also secured residencies at clubs such as Attica Too, KM8 and St James Power Station. His contribution to the industry landed him yet another award in 2007, ‘Best DJ’ in the Motorola ‘Super-Style Mix Awards’, where winners were determined by a public online polling system.

Adrian’s interests lie beyond DJing- he has constantly been involved in other aspects of nightlife. Adrian took on the additional role of Marketing Manager at The Liquid Room for three years and, in 2004, started a local Indie-Disco night called Poptart.

POPTART was the first majorly successful event for Adrian and was also the first of its kind in for the local club scene, and was highly commended for its fresh and bold approach of bringing alternative rock and electro to the dancefloors.

POPTART was held in different venues, from small bar/club environments to high profile outdoor festivals like Baybeats and Mosaic at The Esplanade, attracting crowds from 200 to the thousands. POPTART was mentioned and lauded constantly in music and entertainment media, and in 2005, was picked as ‘Best Local Club Night’ and came runner-up as ‘Most Up-For-It Crowd’ in JUICE Magazine’s ‘Best of 2005’ awards.

Adrian is currently Marketing Manager and Resident DJ at The Butter Factory, taking care of DJ bookings, promotions, branding, identity and music direction.
