Scientific Sound Asia welcomes Blaze DJ for his next guest show 'Ministry of Breaks' 20 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.
According to the 10,000-hour rule, it takes around 10,000 hours of practice to truly become an expert at something and master one’s trade. However, for Blaze DJ, 10,000 hours was just a mere apprenticeship.
The London-based DJ has dedicated so many hours that he has developed an almost telepathic connection to the decks, the music he plays, and the people who listen.
Being born into a household where he was exposed to a diverse mix of musical styles and genres, Blaze DJ credits his parents and siblings as his earliest influences.
A fusion of Jazz, Funk, Disco, New Romantics, and 80s synth-pop helped shape his taste, but it wasn't until he heard the cassette House Sounds of Chicago Volume 1 in 1987, while still a schoolboy, that Blaze DJ knew he had found his sound. Since that day, music has become a passion for Blaze DJ, influencing not only his nights out but his entire career and every aspect of his life.
Starting to DJ at the young age of 15, Blaze DJ quickly made a name for himself as a DJ people wanted to listen to, from the modest settings of a local pub in Edmonton, to residencies in Birmingham and Faliraki, often playing to crowds of 2,000 people. A true member of the Acid House generation, Blaze DJ considers himself "one of the fortunate ones" to have witnessed the evolution of the UK’s electronic music scene from its inception to the present day.
Yet, he still brings the same passion and energy to his sets now, thirty years later, as he did during the epic parties of the early 1990s. For Blaze DJ, it has always been about house music.
Influenced by numerous artists from the early days to the present, he has managed to incorporate all his inspiration and influences into the tapestry of his unique sound. Think classic house, with a touch of breaks, a hint of acid, and a sprinkle of techno, and you’ll start to grasp Blaze DJ’s style.
Blaze DJ’s influence was not only felt behind the decks; he also spent time working in DJ shops. He was the first retailer in the country to combine DJing and producing equipment under one roof.
Furthermore, he completely transformed retail for the electronic music community. In 2005, it seemed Blaze DJ had lost his passion for performing, and while still working in the music industry as an Audio Visual designer and consultant, working on the sound systems in some of the world’s most famous clubs, he decided to retire from his DJing career.
However, after a fifteen-year break, the passion was reignited, and Blaze DJ returned to the scene with renewed enthusiasm and a desire to perform at the highest level once again.
He has hit the ground running and despite the events of the past year, has already secured three monthly radio slots with Ibiza Club News, Underground Kollektiv, and Scientific Sound Asia.
Now, armed with a full catalogue of unreleased music and currently releasing under Industrial Force and Zeta Records, he is ready to make his mark in clubland once again. One of the hardest working DJs in the global breaks scene, he has been honing his craft for over 30 years.
The brand Ministry of Breaks has been gaining momentum over the last two years and is now becoming known for its unique blend of breaks, bass, and bleeps. New music is set to be released soon for the winter.
2022 has been a successful year for Blaze DJ, with his first Beatport release "London Bass" on ONE7AUDIO and major Ministry of Breaks events including the all-dayer in June and the launch of Breaks n Bass. In 2023, he aims to build on this success with a new merchandise range, Ministry of Breaks YouTube channel, and festival appearances. Stay updated by following his social media channels.
Tune in live on Friday 30th December 2022, from 6 PM to 8 PM Indochina Time (ICT), with a repeat on Tuesday from 6 AM to 8 AM (ICT).
