Nez Senja, now also known as Helios XL, draws inspiration from a diverse palette of influences, reflecting his belief in the timeless quality of music. A range of sound and style is evident in his music selection, which resonates with a wider audience. 

Nez Senja has been a mainstay in Singapore’s nightlife circuit for over a decade since 2010, while playing one-off DJ sets in Bangkok, Bali, Hong Kong, Manila, Milan, New York, Kuala Lumpur & Shenzhen. His style oscillates between rocking a club dancefloor and mixing lower-tempo beats for brand activations and special events. 

Online, he’s curated mixes on digital platforms of music/lifestyle brands such as Blast Radio, Mixmag Asia, Bangkok Community Radio, Singapore Community Radio, Ice Cream Sundays, See You At One, Café Kitsuné and The Lot Radio (Brooklyn), including a mix featured on Resident Advisor’s Mix Of the Day series in October 2021. 

The Helios XL alias emerged in 2023, and a more focused sound graced the inaugural Sunda Festival in September, and more recently, Keep Hush Live Singapore in 2024, supported by Carhartt WIP.

Nez Senja deals in pushing high-quality alternative music. From the raw sounds of Jungle-D&B to retro-futuristic head-nodding Hip Hop and essential forays into House, Techno, Electronica, Dub, Afrobeat, Funk, Soul, and Jazz, his music appeals to a diverse sub-cultural audience.

As a DJ, Nez Senja now appears on event billings as different aliases for a variety of styles and genres:
Helios XL – Jungle, Breakbeat, Bass, Leftfield Techno
Senja – Drum & Bass
Nez Senja – All sorts of high-quality music in a DJ set

I was formerly a walrus, but I am now a human.

RAH’s foray into electronic music started on the dance floor, where she would work up a sweat raving to drum&bass. The nascent nightlife of Singapore in early '00 was her training ground, it was the peak of when intimate guerilla popup parties were thrown with careless abandon. She started DJing with D&B and hip-hop for fun at house parties and open deck sessions, which progressed to proper gigs at clubs locally and worldwide (still for fun).

RAH has since played at international festivals, venues, and radio stations, with notable gigs at Dimensions Festival (HR), Wonderfruit Festival (TH), Worldwide FM (UK), Potatohead Beach Bar (IND), Red Bull Music Radio (NY), Radio Raheem (IT), and Operator Radio (NL),
Her sound is ever-evolving (a result of growing up as a manic 90s kid on Napster/ Limewire) as she constantly digs for fresh sounds old and new, partial to the likes of Jazz, Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul, and Bass, Afro, Brazilian, Asian rare grooves, and anything that takes her back to that special, liberating moment on the dance floor.
