Scientific Sound Asia is excited to announce Blaze DJ's return for his next guest show, 'Ministry of Breaks' 26, on our radio station. As a leading electronic music station, DJ agency, and promoter in Asia, Scientific Sound Asia continues to attract an international audience.
Blaze DJ, a British DJ and producer from Walthamstow in East London, has spent his entire career immersed in the underground music scene and DJ culture.
While the 10,000-hour rule suggests that mastery of any craft requires at least 10,000 hours of practice, for Blaze DJ, those hours were just the beginning. His dedication has given him an almost intuitive connection with the decks, his music, and the audiences he entertains.
Growing up in a household filled with a wide range of musical influences, Blaze DJ credits his parents and siblings for shaping his early tastes. A mix of Jazz, Funk, Disco, New Romantics, and 80s synth-pop all helped mould his musical identity. However, it was when he heard House Sounds of Chicago Volume 1 on cassette in 1987, while still at school, that he found his true calling in house music, a passion that would guide his entire career.
At 15, Blaze DJ began his journey as a DJ, quickly gaining recognition. From playing local pubs in Edmonton to residencies in Birmingham and Faliraki, where he performed for crowds of up to 2,000 people, Blaze DJ has done it all. As a key figure in the Acid House movement, he witnessed the rise of the UK's electronic music scene from the ground up.
Even after 30 years in the industry, Blaze DJ brings the same energy and enthusiasm to his sets as he did in the early 90s. His unique style blends classic house with elements of breaks, acid, and techno, a sound shaped by the many influences he has absorbed throughout his career.
Blaze DJ’s impact extends beyond the decks. In his early years, he worked in DJ shops and was the first to combine DJ and production equipment under one roof, transforming the retail experience for DJs. Later, as an audio-visual designer and consultant, he worked on sound systems for some of the world’s most iconic clubs.
In 2005, Blaze DJ took a break from performing, but after a 15-year hiatus, his passion was reignited, and he returned to DJing with renewed vigour. Since his comeback, he has secured monthly slots on Ibiza Club News, Underground Kollektiv, and Scientific Sound Asia.
Now, with a full catalogue of unreleased music, Blaze DJ has been releasing tracks on labels such as Industrial Force and Zeta Records. He remains one of the most dedicated DJs in the global breaks scene, having spent over three decades perfecting his craft.
His brand, Ministry of Breaks, has gained significant momentum in the last two years, known for its unique blend of breaks, bass, and bleeps. With new music on the horizon for the winter, Blaze DJ has been busy relaunching his MOB YouTube channel and hosting Breaks n Bass parties.
This month, Blaze DJ spent time in Ibiza working with his Ministry of Breaks team on new branding strategies. With a full 2024 festival season planned and a new monthly residency at Heathcote and Star in East London, expect big things from Blaze DJ and Ministry of Breaks soon.
This month's show will feature a mix of Breaks, Breakbeat, UK Garage, 2 Step, and UK Bass. Tune in live on Friday, 28th July 2023, from 6 PM to 8 PM Indochina Time (ICT), with a repeat airing on Tuesday from 6 AM to 8 AM (ICT). You can listen on the players below.
