Scientific Sound Asia welcomes Blaze DJ for his fourth guest show 'Ministry of Breaks' on our radio station. Scientific Sound Asia is an underground DJ agency, promoter, and radio station for the Asian region with an international following.
Blaze DJ is a British DJ and producer hailing from Walthamstow in the East End of London, U.K. His entire career and upbringing have been closely linked with underground music culture and DJing.
According to the concept of 10,000 hours, it typically requires around 10,000 hours of practice to reach true expertise in a field and master one's craft. Yet, for Blaze DJ, 10,000 hours represented just the beginning. The London-based DJ has dedicated so much time that he has developed an almost intuitive connection with the turntables, the music he plays, and his audience.
Having grown up in a household exposed to a diverse range of musical genres, Blaze DJ credits his earliest influences to his parents and siblings. A fusion of jazz, funk, disco, New Romantics, and 80s synth-pop shaped his musical preferences, but it was the encounter with the cassette House Sounds of Chicago Volume 1 in 1987, during his school days, that led Blaze DJ to identify his signature sound.
Since that moment, music has become a passion for Blaze DJ, impacting not just his nightlife but his entire career and lifestyle. Starting his DJing journey at the young age of 15, Blaze DJ quickly established himself as a sought-after DJ, progressing from local pubs in Edmonton to residencies in Birmingham and Faliraki, often performing for crowds of up to 2,000 people. If it involves DJing, Blaze DJ has likely done it.
A true representative of the Acid House era, Blaze DJ considers himself fortunate to have witnessed the evolution of the UK's electronic music scene from its inception to the present day. Despite thirty years passing, he maintains the same level of excitement and energy in his sets now as he did during the legendary parties of the early 1990s.
For Blaze DJ, house music has always been the focal point. Drawing inspiration from artists across different eras, he has skillfully integrated his influences into his distinctive sound. Picture classic house with a touch of breaks, a hint of acid, and a sprinkle of techno, and you'll begin to grasp Blaze DJ's musical style.
Blaze DJ's impact extended beyond the DJ booth; having worked in DJ stores, he was the first retailer in the UK to merge DJing and production equipment under one roof, revolutionizing retail for the electronic music community.
In 2005, Blaze DJ seemed to have lost his passion for performing, transitioning to a role as an audio-visual designer and consultant within the music industry, focusing on sound systems in renowned clubs worldwide. After a fifteen-year break, his passion was reignited, prompting his return to DJing with renewed vigour and a commitment to reaching new heights.
He has swiftly made an impact, securing monthly radio slots with Ibiza Club News, Underground Kollektiv, and Scientific Sound Asia despite the challenges of the past year. Armed with a collection of unreleased music and plans for a label, he is poised to make a triumphant comeback in the club scene. Scheduled to return to live performances, his next show is at Sonic Alchemy in London on 21st August.
The show was originally aired on Friday, 30th July. You can tune in to the show using the Mixcloud player below.
