Scientific Sound Asia welcomes Blaze DJ for his next guest show 'Ministry of Breaks' 11 on our radio station. Scientific Sound Asia is the Asian promoter, DJ Agency, and electronic dance music genre radio station for the region with an international following.
Blaze DJ is a prominent British DJ and producer hailing from Walthamstow in the East End of London, UK. His entire career and background are firmly rooted in underground music culture and professional DJing.
The rule of 10,000 suggests that it takes around 10,000 hours of practice to achieve expertise and mastery in a particular field. However, for Blaze DJ, surpassing 10,000 hours was merely the beginning of his journey to mastery.
The DJ based in London has dedicated a significant amount of time to his craft, resulting in an almost intuitive bond with the turntables, the music he performs, and his audience. Coming from a family environment rich in diverse musical influences, Blaze DJ attributes his earliest inspiration to his parents and siblings.
A vibrant fusion of jazz, funk, disco, New Romantics, and 80’s synth-pop played a crucial role in shaping his musical preferences. However, it was a life-changing moment when, as a young schoolboy in 1987, Blaze DJ stumbled upon the cassette House Sounds of Chicago Volume 1. From that very instant, music transformed into a passion for Blaze DJ, leaving an indelible mark on his nights out, career, and every single facet of his life!
Commencing his DJing career at the age of 15, Blaze DJ promptly garnered a reputation as a sought-after DJ, transitioning from performing at a modest local pub in Edmonton to securing residencies in prominent venues in Birmingham and Faliraki, frequently entertaining crowds of up to 2,000 attendees. With a diverse skill set, Blaze DJ has successfully executed a wide range of DJing techniques.
A notable figure in the Acid House era, Blaze DJ humbly regards himself as privileged to have observed the evolution of the United Kingdom's electronic music landscape from its inception to the contemporary era. Despite the passage of thirty years, he continues to infuse his sets with the same level of enthusiasm and energy that characterized his performances at the legendary parties of the early 1990s. For Blaze DJ, the essence of his craft has always revolved around the genre of house music.
Having been inspired by numerous artists spanning from the past to the present, he skillfully incorporated all his influences into creating his distinct sound. Picture traditional house music with a dash of breaks, a pinch of acid, and a touch of techno, and you'll begin to grasp the essence of Blaze DJ's musical style.
Blaze DJ made a significant impact not just as a DJ but also by pioneering the integration of DJing and producing equipment in his retail store, which transformed the electronic music community's shopping experience. By 2005, Blaze DJ appeared to have lost his passion for performing, and despite continuing to work in the music industry as an Audio Visual designer and consultant, enhancing sound systems in renowned clubs worldwide, he ultimately decided to retire from his DJing career.
Following a fifteen-year break, Blaze DJ reignited his passion and made a comeback to the music scene with renewed vigour and a determination to excel. Demonstrating swift progress, he has successfully landed three monthly radio slots with Ibiza Club News, Underground Kollektiv, and Scientific Sound Asia, despite the challenges of the past year.
Now armed with an extensive catalogue of unreleased music and presently releasing under Industrial Force and Zeta Records, he is poised to make a significant impact in the club scene once more. Regarded as one of the most diligent DJs in the international breaks scene, he has dedicated over three decades to his craft.
Ministry of Breaks has successfully established a strong presence over the past two years and is rapidly becoming renowned for its distinctive fusion of breaks, bass, and bleeps. Anticipate the upcoming release of new music just in time for the summer season.
Stay tuned for the upcoming revival of breaks in your area. This month's episode highlights Breaks, Breakbeat, Break Tech, Progressive Breaks, Oldskool, and Nuskool. Originally broadcast on Friday, March 25th, you can listen to the show on the Mixcloud player below.
