Was moving to Netherlands the best move you’ve ever made? Why?
Yes. It encompassed my mantra – being able to pursue my love for DJ-ing in a country that produces the best DJs in the world, and pushing myself to the limit outside of my comfort zone.
One thing not many people know behind the DJ’s console?
That we activate our supernatural powers of holding our pee till we are done with our set. On a more serious note, a great deal of thought process goes into moving the crowd through different moods, lifting and lowering the vibe and implementing a mixing style based on each individual DJ’s skill.
Is it true that male DJs get all the ladies?
Yes. I would be lying if I were to come up with some diplomatic answer. How the DJ handles all that attention, is down to his character.
If you could choose your dance crowd, whom will it consist of?
Every music lover out there except those who like to make song requests. You guys should just…play with your ipod.
Typical Singaporean meets a Dutch bloke in a room. What happens next?
A lengthy conversation about drugs and the death penalty.
Weirdest thing you’ve seen in the crowd from atop the stage?
A guy sitting on another guy’s shoulder to get a better view of the stage, but somehow he was so into the music that he start gyrating his hips in a certain way…
Your new year’s resolution?
A level up on my scratching skills and music production skills from a music perspective, and for myself to keep being motivated in DJ-ing and chemical engineering. And maybe one day meet a girl who doesn’t take question 3 too seriously.
Mantra in life?
Work hard, play harder, love hardest.
