Biografía
- KL-based house DJ, producer & remixer, Flikswitch knows that any good music may have soul but believes that’s in every great house track resides a real soul within its music. . For true house lovers, the music never stops.A true connoisseur in the musical art form, Flikswitch is a firm believer that pure substance is above everything else. Born and bred in the dynamic city of Kuala Lumpur, he has flawlessly steered his career as a DJ, producer and certified audio engineer for over the last decade. Always practicing what he preaches, his DJ sets and productions don't just stimulate the feet to move and groove; it also feeds the soul. Flikswitch’s love for music was embedded into his DNA from the very beginning. From learning to play the piano at the age of four, he moved on to arranging instrument parts for his school band music. A true blue fan of everything good in the music scene, kick starting a DJ career in 2005 was inevitable as his interest and passion for electronic dance music began to soar in the early 2000’s. It was electro house that got him going as a DJ before graduating to the deep side of the force. Deep house, tech house and techno soon began to take over his focus. As a DJ, Flikswitch made his rounds in the thriving clubbing circuit in the KL city, scoring a number of gigs at coveted clubs like Nagaba KL, Marketplace and many more. Although, he has garnered an abundance of support from the scene as a DJ, his passion production couldn’t be overlooked. Flikswitch is indeed more than just a DJ. A man with few words, his personality is reflected in the music he makes. His first release, ‘Bumped’ was picked up by the legendary Nicky C and his label 220V in back in 2009. Flikswitch’s debut received the local scene’s stamp of approval as an aspiring music producer when he bagged the Producer of the Year award at the highly recognised CHOONS Awards in the following year. In a scene that’s increasingly inhabited by hype and trends, Flikswitch stays true to his style that’s determined by drive, minus the drama, which incidentally is why he is not only respected by fans but his peers as well. Winning the title of Producer of the Year led him to churning out a slew of productions, bootlegs and remixes. His deep understanding of the multiple schools of music philosophy is evident in the tunes he creates. ‘Dengan Mu’ showcases a more Afro-Latin and R&B approach while his and Victor G’s bootleg of Yuna’s ‘Live Your Life’ features a more progressive and modern outlook. Drawing influences from R&B and soul of black American music, Flikswitch tries to reflect those vibes in his music while staying true to his creative tastes. It’s the love for music that has gotten Flikswitch this far in his music career. Catering to a new generation of music lovers whose taste differs from the audience he has been used to challenges him to innovate. You can bet he has more than just a bag of tricks up his sleeve.
