Dj Beware makes it easy for clubbers to lose their
minds on the dancefloor to his unique style of
putting together ass shaking music.
It all started for Beware in Hong Kong about 15 years
ago, as a skateboard kid who went and bought music
that he heard in skate videos, which was mainly hip
hop, reggae, punk, rock; a little soul, jazz and drum n
bass. And since we are talking about the 90s here,
Beware also got hold of a fair share of house, techno
and dance to throw into his collection. At that time this
kid Beware wasn't collecting music to spin at parties or
anything like that - he was just doing it because he
loved it.
Djing came a couple of years later, when Beware saw
former DMC world champ Dj Tommy cutting up records
in the BFD skate store in Hong Kong. From that point
on, Beware would start lugging his records to a friend's
house to practice his mixing and scratching. This friend
would be left in peace 2 years later when Beware
decided to invest in his own pair of 1210s and mixer.
Fast forward to the year 2000. Beware enters his first
DMC battle in Hong Kong. He comes in 2nd. The next
year he comes back to take the title and manages to
make it to the top 13 in the World Finals in 2001 and in
2002, entertaining and surprising the crowd at Brixton
Academy with his creative sets that incorporated
Screaming Jay Hawkins, Britney Spears, Bad
Company, Michael Jackson and even the soundtrack
to Dirty Dancing!
Since then, Beware's unique and eclectic style of djing
has brought him to clubs and festivals in Europe, Asia,
Middle East and Australia. He has also toured with and
collaborated with artists such as German Reggae artist
Patrice, Viennese electronic musician I Wolf of the Sofa
Surfers. Nowadays, Dj Beware juggles his time
between club djing across the globe, hosting a popular
daily mix show "Unlimited" on Radio FM4, plus doing
remixes, productions and mixes for various artists and
labels.
