Scientific Sound Asia welcomes Blaze DJ for his third guest show 'Ministry of Breaks' on our radio station. Scientific Sound Asia is an underground radio station, promoter and DJ agency 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 background are intertwined with underground music culture and the art of DJing.
According to the 10,000-hour rule, it usually takes approximately 10,000 hours of focused practice to attain genuine expertise and mastery in a specific field. However, for Blaze DJ, reaching this 10,000-hour mark signified the completion of an apprenticeship. After dedicating a significant amount of time to his art, this DJ from London has developed an almost telepathic connection with his turntables, the music he chooses, and his audience.
Blaze DJ credits his broad exposure to various musical styles and genres during his upbringing to his family's influence, particularly his parents and siblings. While he was influenced by a combination of jazz, funk, disco, New Romantics, and 80’s synth-pop, it wasn't until he stumbled upon the cassette House Sounds of Chicago Volume 1 in 1987 during his school days that Blaze DJ discovered his musical identity.
Since that time, music has become a deep passion for Blaze DJ, influencing not only his evenings but also his entire career path and every aspect of his life. Commencing his DJ journey at the tender age of 15, Blaze DJ quickly established a reputation as a highly sought-after DJ, beginning from a modest pub in Edmonton to obtaining regular gigs in Birmingham and Faliraki, often performing for audiences of up to 2,000 individuals. If there's a task a DJ is capable of performing, Blaze DJ has probably already mastered it.
Blaze DJ, a genuine embodiment of the Acid House era, considers himself lucky to have witnessed the development of the electronic music scene in the UK from its beginnings to the present day. Even after three decades, he still injects his performances with the same passion and vigour that characterized the iconic parties of the early 1990s. Blaze DJ has consistently centred his attention on house music.
Having been inspired by various artists ranging from the past to the present, Blaze DJ has successfully integrated all his sources of inspiration and influences to craft his distinctive sound. His style can be characterised as a fusion of classic house with a hint of breaks, a touch of acid, and a sprinkle of techno.
Blaze DJ had a considerable influence not only as a DJ but also through his work in DJ shops. He was the first retailer in the country to combine DJing and producing equipment in one store, bringing about a pioneering change in retail for the electronic music community.
In 2005, Blaze DJ seemed to have lost interest in performing. Although he remained active in the music industry as an audio-visual designer and consultant, concentrating on improving sound systems in top clubs globally, he chose to step away from his DJing profession. However, after a hiatus of fifteen years, his passion was rekindled, leading Blaze DJ to return with fresh enthusiasm and a strong desire to succeed once more.
He has swiftly made a solid beginning, and despite the challenges of the previous year, he has already secured three monthly radio slots with Ibiza Club News, Underground Kollektiv, and Scientific Sound Asia. With a collection of unreleased music and an upcoming label, he is ready to make a strong return in the club scene. His intentions to resume performing are already established, suggesting that Blaze DJ will soon be back on line-ups across the country.
