Scientific Sound Asia welcomes Blaze DJ for his next guest show 'Ministry of Breaks' 6 on our radio station. Scientific Sound Asia is the Asian promoter, DJ agency, and electronic dance music genre station for the region with an international following.
Blaze DJ, a British DJ and producer, hails from Walthamstow in London's East End. His entire career and background are deeply rooted in the underground music culture and the art of DJing.
The 10,000-hour rule suggests that it takes approximately 10,000 hours of practice to master a skill. However, for Blaze DJ, those hours were just the start of his training. This DJ from London has devoted so much time to his craft that he has developed an almost telepathic connection with the turntables, the music, and his audience.
Blaze DJ was brought up in a family that appreciated a wide range of musical styles and genres, which he attributes to his early musical influences. His parents and siblings exposed him to a mix of jazz, funk, disco, New Romantics, and 80s synth-pop, shaping his early musical preferences. However, it was when he listened to the cassette 'House Sounds of Chicago Volume 1' in 1987, as a schoolboy, that he truly found his sound.
From that moment, music became a fervent pursuit for Blaze DJ, shaping not only his evenings but his entire career and every aspect of his life. Starting his DJ journey at the age of 15, Blaze DJ quickly made a name for himself, captivating audiences from the humble beginnings of a local pub in Edmonton to holding residencies in Birmingham and Faliraki, often entertaining crowds of up to 2,000 people. If there's something to be achieved as a DJ, Blaze DJ has likely accomplished it.
A true representative of the Acid House era, Blaze DJ considers himself "one of the fortunate ones," having witnessed the evolution of the UK's electronic music scene from its beginnings to the present day. Even after thirty years, he infuses his sets with the same energy and passion that he did at the legendary parties of the early 1990s.
Blaze DJ's passion lies firmly in house music. Drawing inspiration from a multitude of artists, from the genre's inception to contemporary times, he has skillfully blended his influences into a distinct sound. His style is a fusion of classic house with elements of breakbeat, acid, and a touch of techno, creating a sound that is uniquely his own.
Blaze DJ's influence extended beyond his performances. As a pioneer in the industry, he was the first in the nation to merge DJing and production equipment sales within a single establishment, revolutionizing the retail experience for the electronic music community.
In 2005, Blaze DJ seemed to have lost his passion for performing. Despite continuing his work in the music industry as an audio-visual designer and consultant, contributing to the sound systems of some of the world's most renowned clubs, he chose to retire his headphones and end his DJing career. Yet, after a fifteen-year break, his passion reignited, leading Blaze DJ to make a comeback with a refreshed zeal and an ambition to once again perform at the pinnacle of the industry.
He has certainly hit the ground running, and despite the challenges of the past year, he has 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 releases under Industrial Force and Zeta Records, he is poised to make a significant impact on the club scene once more. Blaze is also co-hosting Sonic Alchemy events in Islington, North London, and organizing his events with the Ministry of Breaks in East London.
This show originally aired on Friday 24th September. Listen to the Mixcloud player below. Enjoy the show.
