Scientific Sound Asia welcomes Blaze DJ for his next guest show 'Ministry of Breaks' 17 on our radio station. Scientific Sound Asia is the Asian electronic music station for the region with an international following.
Blaze DJ is a British DJ and producer originating from Walthamstow in the East End of London, U.K. His whole career and background have been associated with underground music culture and DJing.
As per the concept of the 10,000-hour rule, it typically requires around 10,000 hours of practice to reach true expertise in a field and master one's craft. Nonetheless, for Blaze DJ, 10,000 hours represented merely an initial training period.
The DJ based in London has dedicated so much time to his craft that he has developed an almost intuitive connection to the turntables, the music he plays, and his audience.
Being raised in a household where he was 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 not until he encountered the cassette House Sounds of Chicago Volume 1 in 1987, while still a student, that Blaze DJ identified his signature sound. Since that moment, music has become a passion for Blaze DJ, influencing not only his nightlife but also his entire career and every aspect of his life.
Embarking on his DJ career at the young age of 15, Blaze DJ swiftly established himself as a sought-after DJ, progressing from a local pub in Edmonton to residencies in Birmingham and Faliraki, often entertaining crowds of up to 2,000 people. 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 continues to infuse his performances with the same passion and energy, reminiscent of the legendary parties of the early 1990s. For Blaze DJ, house music has always been the focal point.
Influenced by a myriad of artists from the past to the present, he has skillfully integrated his inspirations into his distinct sound. Think classic house with a touch of breaks, a hint of acid, and a sprinkle of techno to grasp Blaze DJ's style.
Blaze DJ's impact extended beyond the DJ booth; having worked in DJ stores, he was the first retailer in the country to combine DJing and production equipment under one roof, revolutionizing retail for the electronic music community. In 2005, it seemed he had lost his passion for performing, leading him to retire from his DJing career while continuing to work in the music industry as an Audio Visual designer and consultant, enhancing sound systems in renowned clubs worldwide.
However, after a fifteen-year hiatus, Blaze DJ reignited his passion and returned to the scene with renewed vigour and a desire to excel once more.
He has swiftly gained momentum and secured three 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 currently releasing under Industrial Force and Zeta Records, he is prepared to once again make his mark in the club scene. A stalwart in the global breaks scene, Blaze DJ has been dedicated to his craft for over 30 years.
The Ministry of Breaks brand has been steadily growing over the past two years, earning recognition for its distinctive blend of breaks, bass, and bleeps. New music is set to be released soon for the winter season.
Following a brief tour of Portugal, Blaze DJ is back in London with his monthly residency at East London's Ministry of Breaks Live at the Red Lion E11. He has been busy in the studio working on a plethora of new unreleased music, which is nearly ready.
In Ministry of Breaks Episode 17, Blaze DJ delivers a relentless set filled with Breaks, Electro House, and remixes that elevate the genre’s classic sounds. From DJ Zinc’s nostalgic “Rave 4 Evar Pt. 2” to energetic remixes like Eminem’s “Without Me,” this episode is a must-listen for breakbeat enthusiasts.
