Blaze DJ has revealed the lineup for the upcoming 40th episode of his 'Ministry of Breaks' show on our radio station. Scientific Sound Asia is the leading electronic music station, event organizer, and DJ agency in Asia, dedicated to serving a diverse international audience.
Hailing from Walthamstow in London's East End, U.K., Blaze DJ is a British DJ and producer with strong ties to the underground music culture and the craft of DJing. Throughout his career, he has consistently maintained a close connection with this dynamic scene.
The "10,000 hours rule" proposes that approximately 10,000 hours of focused practice are necessary to achieve mastery in a specific area. However, Blaze DJ considers the 10,000 hours as more of a beginning or a training phase.
Blaze DJ has dedicated numerous hours to honing his craft, achieving a deep and instinctive mastery of turntable techniques, music selection, and audience engagement. Raised in a family surrounded by various musical styles, he acknowledges his parents and siblings as his primary inspirations.
Blaze DJ's musical preferences were shaped by a blend of Jazz, Funk, Disco, New Romantics, and '80s synth-pop. However, it was in 1987, during his school years, that he experienced a turning point upon discovering the cassette tape 'House Sounds of Chicago Volume 1.' This discovery elevated music from a simple hobby to a powerful influence that defined his social connections, career path, and every facet of his life.
Blaze DJ began his career at the age of 15, quickly earning a reputation as a DJ. His initial gigs at a pub in Edmonton were well-received by audiences, leading to regular bookings in Birmingham and Faliraki. His shows at these venues consistently impressed large audiences, occasionally drawing up to 2,000 attendees.
Blaze DJ, with extensive experience gathered over his DJing career, has honed his abilities and gained recognition as a seasoned expert in the industry. As a key figure in the Acid House movement, he feels privileged to have witnessed the development of the UK's electronic music scene from its beginnings to the present.
Even after thirty years in the industry, Blaze DJ still exhibits the same passion and energy in his performances as he did during the iconic parties of the early '90s. His steadfast dedication to house music has remained constant throughout his remarkable career.
Blaze DJ skillfully blends influences from a diverse range of artists across various eras to create his unique and innovative sound. His music seamlessly merges traditional house elements, subtle breaks, hints of acid, and a bit of techno, producing a truly distinctive sound.
Blaze DJ's impact went beyond his performances. He acquired significant insights during his trips to DJ stores and made history by being the first to combine DJing and production equipment in one location in the country.
Moreover, he was instrumental in revolutionizing the retail scene for electronic music. However, by 2005, Blaze DJ appeared to lose interest in performing. Although he remained engaged in the music industry as a sound and visual designer, concentrating on improving sound systems in top clubs worldwide, he ultimately withdrew from DJing and put down his headphones.
Following a fifteen-year break, Blaze DJ has returned with fresh enthusiasm and a firm resolve to excel in his performances. Rapidly gaining momentum, he has overcome last year's challenges and secured three monthly radio slots with Ibiza Club News, Underground Kollektiv, and Scientific Sound Asia.
Boasting an extensive collection of breaks and breakbeat tracks, he is poised for a significant comeback in the nightclub scene. With ties to Industrial Force and Zeta Records, his influence has spanned over thirty years, solidifying his reputation as a dedicated member of the global breaks music community.
In recent years, the Ministry of Breaks (MOB) brand has become increasingly popular in London, the UK's capital, due to its distinctive blend of breaks, bass, and bleeps. Concurrently, Blaze DJ has been diligently expanding the brand's presence on multiple platforms.
He recently overhauled both his personal YouTube channel and the MOB YouTube channel, creating a platform to highlight their unique sound and reach a broader audience. Blaze DJ has played a key role in organizing Breaks n Bass events, enriching the nightlife scene, and strengthening MOB's position in the London music community.
Blaze is engaged in launching new mixes every week, hosting MOB Open Deck Nights in East London, presenting live performances, and producing new tracks in the studio. He has been active in the studio, releasing some free-to-download bootlegs on his Blaze DJ Soundcloud page, and he has more music scheduled for release in 2025.
Blaze DJ’s Ministry of Breaks 40 delivers an electrifying blend of Acid Breaks, Nuskool Breaks, and Tech Funk. Opening with tracks like Lukas Keyne’s "Endless Acid" and Paronite’s "Science," the episode takes listeners on a journey through deep basslines and intricate breakbeat rhythms.
Blaze DJ’s own remix of "Blah Blah Blah" by Armin van Buuren adds a personalized twist to the mix. Closing the set, highlights like the remastered "Rollin" by Lee Coombs and Firestar Soundsystem’s "Baddadan Dub" showcase the diversity of breaks culture.
With seamless transitions between UK Bass, Breakbeat, and electronica-inspired grooves, Blaze DJ crafts a show that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Be sure to catch the live broadcast on Friday, November 29th, 2024, from 6 PM to 8 PM Indochina Time (ICT), and tune in for the re-run on Tuesday from 6 AM to 8 AM (ICT).
