Kai (Smile, SG)

A self professed vinyl junkie for 9 years, Kai is a firm believer that music is the key to the soul. His personal mantra stands that “IF YOU CAN’T HAVE SEX WITH THE MUSIC, THEN YOU CAN’T FEEL THE MUSIC”.

He advocates that whenever a DJ steps into the console, the responsibility is entrusted upon them to deliver a good night and to move every single fibre in the body of the dance floor. This is the level that he is working hard to achieve.

Never one to pigeonhole himself, he embraces various genres of electronic music and aspires to form a musical journey whenever he plays.

Drawing influences from A-list DJs like John Digweed, Sasha, Laurent Garnier and Melbourne DJs like Phil K, Kasey Taylor amongst others, every set that Kai plays will be different but never missing out on the groove and riding bassline.

With recent appearances at Sessions (Phuture) and Sublime (Home Club), Kai will continue to improve and showcase his own interpretation of electronic music to those who will keep an open mind and feel the sounds from the past to the sounds of the future.

Sublime (Home Club) - 23/06/07
Sessions (Phuture - Zouk) - 30/06/07
Smile Preview (Home Club) – 07/07/07
Smile (Home Club) – 06/10/07

Case Woo (Groovebuddies, SG)

From electropop to trip hop, from manic depressive angst to dance culture, the early 90's saw Case releasing industrial electronica under the pseudonym of Censor. Hip2TheHype was a collaborative project which eventually became a precursor to his remixing team Quadmix, Singapore’s first major dance music signing with BMG and Warner/Chappell in the mid 90’s after the release of their first hit “Trick Rider”. Following the success of the breakbeat album "Rocking The 3rd Floor" in 1996. They also went on to win Singapore's COMPASS award for 3 consecutive years. Case’s deephouse and techno productions also caught the attention of vinyl labels Transport Recordings (San Francisco) and Lifetime Music (Berlin) after which followed his solo album “A Deeper Shade” which was hailed by
industry maestros as the first deep/tech-house offering from Singapore. Case continued to push his own limits as a producer and that led him to create 3 melancholic downtempo albums with Asian veteran Kit Chan and a concert project with Hong Kong’s veteran and queen of classic pop Sandy Lam. Today, after nearly two decades of pure electronic music and genre experimentation, Case has come
one full circle to return to his roots. Synthpop is back once again in the form of a collaboration with veteran DJ Angela Flame with their latest Asian Dynasty release on Beatport “Love Life Dynamite”.
