MM Podcast #18 with KAYE

The 18th edition of our monthly podcast hosted by Todh Teri:

This time we have invited a super versatile musician, composer and DJ from Singapore KAYE Co-founder of “Darker than Wax” an underground electronic music label.

KAYE is arguably one of Singapore’s most versatile and ever evolving musicians. Over the decades, he has morphed across the performance spectrum from bands to DJing to livesets with computers, blending anything and everything; from his trusty saxophone and EWI, to the vocoder, drum machines, analog synths and more. His love for music technology is responsible for his ever evolving setup, and all this is deeply entrenched in a wide range of musical genres. From deep and acid laden House and Techno, to Afro/Cuban/Latin/World beats, Funk and Disco Boogie, all seasoned in the roots of jazz and soul. This diversity has led him to being called in as a “Sessionist” for live club acts such as KiNK,DJ Vadim & the Russian Percussion (with Mr Thing and Yarah Bravo) and Reel PeopleSessions, and his lightning quick improvisational reflexes have enabled him to jam alongside many other producers and DJs who were open enough to let him, during their sets without any prior rehearsals – Kenny Dope, Kerri Chandler, Gerd Janson, BradleyZero, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Basic Soul Unit, Linkwood, San Soda, Kyoto JazzMassive, Russ Dewbury and Dam Funk are but a small selection of worthy mentions.Also an electronic music producer, his original material and remix work has been featured on labels like Universal, WahWah45s (UK), Darker Than Wax (SG), Heard and Felt(Melbourne), Dejavu (Italy) and Ensemble (Belgium).His experience in the underground has not gone unnoticed in slightly more mainstream mediums, and this has led him to being booked by high end fashion houses for their parties – from Louis Vuitton to Gucci, Chanel to Christian Dior and beyond – and international events such as Beijing Olympics (2008), World Expo (2010), SingaporeGrand Prix, Zoukout, and the Volvo Ocean Race.
