Scientific Sound Asia is pleased to welcome Blaze DJ back for his next guest show, 'Ministry of Breaks' 27, on our station. As a leading electronic music station, DJ agency, and event management company in Asia, Scientific Sound Asia continues to attract an international audience.
Blaze DJ, hailing from Walthamstow in East London, has had a career deeply rooted in the underground music scene and DJing culture.
While the idea that it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill is often quoted, for Blaze DJ, those hours were just the foundation. His dedication has allowed him to develop an almost instinctive connection with the decks, the music he plays, and the audience he entertains.
Growing up in a household that embraced a diverse range of musical genres, Blaze DJ credits his parents and siblings as early influences on his musical journey. From Jazz and Funk to Disco, New Romantics, and 80s synth-pop, these sounds shaped his early taste. However, it wasn’t until he heard *House Sounds of Chicago Volume 1* in 1987 that his love for house music took hold, marking a pivotal moment in his life and career.
At the age of 15, Blaze DJ began DJing, quickly earning a reputation as a DJ to watch. From playing in local pubs in Edmonton to securing residencies in Birmingham and Faliraki, where he performed for crowds of up to 2,000 people, Blaze DJ has done it all. As a member of the Acid House generation, he considers himself fortunate to have witnessed the evolution of the UK’s electronic music scene firsthand.
Even after 30 years, Blaze DJ still brings the same energy and enthusiasm to his sets as he did in the early 90s. His unique style fuses classic house with elements of breaks, acid, and techno, creating a sound that reflects the many influences that have shaped his career.
Blaze DJ’s impact wasn’t limited to his performances. Early in his career, he worked in DJ shops, becoming the first in the UK to combine DJ and production equipment in one retail space, revolutionising the DJ retail experience. Later, he worked as an audio-visual designer and consultant for world-renowned clubs.
In 2005, Blaze DJ took a break from performing but returned to the scene with renewed passion after a 15-year hiatus. Since his comeback, he has secured three monthly radio slots on Ibiza Club News, Underground Kollektiv, and Scientific Sound Asia.
Blaze DJ now has a full catalogue of unreleased music, releasing tracks under labels like Industrial Force and Zeta Records. Having worked tirelessly in the global breaks scene for over 30 years, he remains one of its most dedicated figures.
The Ministry of Breaks brand, which Blaze DJ spearheads, has grown steadily over the past two years. Known for its blend of breaks, bass, and bleeps, the brand continues to gain recognition, with more music set for release this winter. Recently, Blaze DJ relaunched his MOB YouTube channel and hosted Breaks n Bass parties.
Blaze has also been active in Ibiza, working on new branding strategies for Ministry of Breaks. His recent participation in the DJ B2B world record attempt earned him a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Back in East London, he is preparing for a busy 2024 festival season.
This month's show will feature Breaks, Breakbeat, UK Garage, and EDM. Tune in live on Friday, 15th September 2023, from 6 PM to 8 PM Indochina Time (ICT), with a repeat broadcast on Tuesday from 6 AM to 8 AM (ICT). Listen on the players below.
