Maurice Simon & Robo X - Live at Kilo Lounge (Re:fuge Party) - 17.12.16

While DJ-ing was something that intrigued him for a while, it was only after seeing the likes of DJ legends Sasha, John Digweed and Paul Oakenfold play extended DJ sets sometime in 2006 that Jared fell in love with the art of DJ-ing, and has never looked back since. A diligent purveyor of new music and sounds, Jared is also a firm believer in playing the right track at the right time, and always keeping a keen eye on the crowd. For him, the music does truly do the talking.

While residing in Australia for 5 years (2009-2014), Jared had the great pleasure of supporting a variety of international and local acts. These acts represented a myriad of music tastes and genres ranging from Trance, Techno, House and EDM.

International and Australian Acts that Jared has supported while in Singapore and Canberra include: Vanilla Ace, Roger Shah, MaRLo, tyDi, Firebeatz, Rob Pix, Motez, Golden Features, Safia, Peking Duk, Acaddamy, Sampology and Silversixx. 

Jared owes much gratitude to the many promoters, club owners and event organisers that have given him the opportunities to share nights on the  lineup with these acts, and playing at the best venues in Canberra and now in Singapore. Venues in Singapore include Zouk, CATO, SO Sofitel, Canvas, f.Club, Millian and FRESH!

While always open to new music styles and genres, the deeper and techy sides of house however, are genres of electronic dance music that remain really close to his heart. 

Ultimately, Jared's DJ style is about having fun and hopefully letting beats, basslines, vocals and melodies get a crowd to hit the dance floor and have a great time! 

Whatever the case, Jared’s goal is always to get you dancing and to put a smile on your face!

Dj’ing for over two decades, Derrick and his sound have evolved, but what has been preserved is his passion for record selecting, flawless mixing, and the music and its scene. With a unique ability to bend genres, he explores the deeper sides of house by drawing from a plethora of musical subgenres including emotional indie dance, synth-heavy cheeky Italo disco, rhythmical breakbeat, and melodic techno with a harder edge. While his credentials include 20 plus years of DJ’ing and being the co-founder of Vancouver production company ‘Leave Us Lost’, it’s his music that earns him respect. A true storyteller who has mastered the art of communicating emotion without words, Derrick’s moody melodies, intricate bass lines, and atmospheric tracks speak for him.

Born in Singapore to a family of musicians and lovers of jazz and classical music, from a young age Maurice developed a curiosity for musical forms that stir the senses and tell a story. His time spent in London as a promoter for Ben Watt’s Buzzin’ Fly Records kick-started his journey as a DJ more than 10 years ago. 

Over the years Maurice has quietly established himself in Singapore's underground music scene and around South-East Asia through his very own Re:fuge club nights in Singapore, festival appearances at Epizode (Vietnam), Wonderfruit and Karma Kastle (Thailand) and performances alongside some of the world's leading House & Techno names including Dixon, Mano Le Tough, Kristian Beyer (Âme), Roman Flügel, Ata, Marcus Worgull, The Drifter, Fort Romeau, Aera, Matthias Schöber, Love Over Entropy and &ME. 

Armed with a sound that marries deep and melodic house with tough and moody techno, Maurice is a believer that electronic music is an open platform, without limits on who or what it may connect to. His openness to perform DJ sets that embrace diversity across musical styles with house & techno as the connector, is what drives his constant devotion to the craft of DJing today and into the future.
