Bio:
Eleventh Sun are Canadian electronic music duo consisting of two brothers Boris Segal and Benjamin (Jacob) Segal. They currently produce wide variety of music including, Drum & Bass, Neurofunk, Dubstep, Neurostep and more.  

They have been releasing music on multiple labels such as  Close 2 Death (UK), Melting Pot (Spain), Mindtech Recordings (Belgium), Cybercrunk Records (France), and their very own Darkness Hides Media (Canada), as well as playing shows in Mexico, Columbia & Canada.

A pure music enthusiast regardless of all the music genres out there, anything that can make his body groove is considered music to Fiq. His first musical encounter was his uncle’s old gramaphone when he was young, which was the closest thing related to a turntable he had ever seen then. Unfortunately, after countless “dabbling” with it, his uncle migrated overseas and that was the last time he’d ever seen a gramophone. 

It was only in his Polytechnic days that he found a similar piece of equipment that rekindled his passion. Despite being both a sports and music enthusiast, he knew he had to sacrifice one of them in order to strive in the other. On one hand he was handling events and organising sports activites for his school, and on the other, creating and producing electronic music which was his “fortress of solitude”. Eventually he decided to drop his Sports Management duties and pursue music head on with like-minded enthusiasts from the Electronic Music Production ECA Group @ Republic Polytechnic (RP). 

Ever relentless in learning new stuff about music, his attitude has constantly brought his sounds to new heights. Not only did he learn about reinforcing sounds and producing tracks, he was also trained in the arts of performing as a DJ by the renowned Frontallabs. 

His first official debut was at RP’s year-end party. His “un-official”, however, was at Club Rouge with his mentor Weili (Frontallabs) spinning. He was amazed and blown away by the crowd’s reaction to the DJ whenever a new track is being dropped. Although it was only a mere 15 minutes of fame for him then, the experience led him to decide to take up DJing seriously, and make every subsequent performance a night to remember.

After completing his DJ Course with Frontallabs, he started to play in clubs/bars all over the country including Phuture (Zouk), HOME Club, BBBC(Bar Baa Black Chic), and Acid Bar(Rouge). Other non-club events he has graced includes a Gaming Event(Tampines Mall), NOISE Singapore 2006(Marina Square), NDP Fringe Festival 2006(Kallang), M1 Fringe Festival with EPIC [local freeform band] (Esplanade Outdoor Theater) as a special guest DJ, as well as Heineken Thirst 2006 where he was the warm-up DJ throughout the preliminary rounds. Apart from that, he has even co-produced a short track for a Gaming Event in RP, and worked with his other mentor, Feng (Frontallabs) in organising club events. 

After a near 2 year hiatus from the nightlife scene due to National Service, it was only in early 2009 that he decided to form a collective that comprises of EDM enthusiasts. The aim was to push out new local DJs into the club scene and educate the masses about the different genres of EDM. Initial members approached were those from RP’s EMP and after a few rounds of discussions, COUP was formed in mid-2009. Eventually the collective made their debut at Blu Jaz Café in May 2009, and are continuously reaching out to other clubs for COUP sessions. 

Ever constantly trying to refine his technique and skills to give his all whenever he performs, Fiq is always up to the challenge due to his versatility in most of the EDM genres. Regardless of a 4/4 structure or a broken beat, he has proven that he can step up his game and shun away his obstacles. Ultimately, his “weapon of choice” is the signature deep and sexy House sound that he loves.
