While gawking at the Blue Steel models of a men's magazine, we chanced upon an article featuring our local DJ hero, Brendon P. The following is an excerpt from his telling observation of the club music-scape in Singapore.
Electro, Top 40s and hip hop are now the mainstay in many clubs and bars. Even many trance acts are moving towards remixes of Top 40 hits, like Tiësto working with the Black Eye Peas. I'm not saying this is neccessarily bad for the clubbing scene in Singapore - the underground sounds of house, breaks, techno and trance would not be possible without the 'overground' mainstream sounds of disco, pop and rock that are sampled. But when club owners and investors get too caught up with the dollars and cents of a night out, it means the DJs have to keep their music safe. And that means clubbers are likely to find the exact same music everywhere they go - Pg 50, AUGUST MAN Magazine, March 2010
Besides hosting a monthly Fixation show at meshradio, the spin-doctor produced his own tracks too. More on Brendon P here.
