"We have the arrival of The Weatherman. A fitting selector alias, given his adoration for unpredictable sounds that suit varying listener climates, be it the alfresco euphoria of a beach bar or the dark debauchery of a club.
Inspired to create beautiful soundscapes in collaboration with a wide range of artists, creators, and makers at venues and festivals around the world, The Weatherman is passionate about diving deeper into the realms of sound and its impact on society." - Life In Arpeggio

Melt, immerse, and amalgamate your mind and body with this captivating journey that cleanses and transports.

Jesse requested for turntables, and I took that chance to bring some of my records that have been crying out to be played. I had a really fun time in this 1 hour, and that excitement definitely contributed to the funny beat-matching sprinkled throughout my set

Looking forward to the next one!

FORECASTING w/ THE WEATHERMAN - Wednesday 18th October

Big hugs to those who took time to head down to the club, listened & dance; I am missing all your smiles <3  

Opening for Soichi was magic: 

He arrived an hour early & set up was done with 45 minutes to spare. There were technical & silly inquiries between the two of us - mostly me to him. 
While he was not sound checking or playing with the Kaossilator, Soichi would be gently swaying beside me with closed eyes 😌
My set was extended by 15 minutes, which guided me to hand over with the gorgeously percussive & uplifting: Orchard Road by Asiabeat. 

Beautiful performances from both Soichi & Dean. I truly blessed to be a DJ in this life and sharing the dance-floor of Headquarters with all of you 🪭

*Recording issue at 49:20 - Mixer was moved, recorder was moved, multiple pieces of  equipment were plugged in and turned on - not sure which caused the error~

**Will allocate more space on the console next time round 🤓

The Weatherman @ Sunda Festival Day 2 - Nomad Stage : 1200 - 1400 : with snippets of ambient dialogues sprinkled throughout 🎙️
_________
Final 30 minutes was cut off by me.. when i realised that it was an external recording, instead of an internal one - in hindsight, i should have left it as it was till the end. Fortunately, unrecorded content is often well kept in our not too distant memory when we chose to access them. Big love to everyone that embraced the weather at Sunda together.

Forecasting beautiful skies & breeze when we tune in together again 🦋

*This external recording situation is growing on me, might do more in the future

**Will double check on recorder & use more tape to hold it next time (:

***Or time to upgrade to DR-40X?

Su Phu - Margaux Gazur & The Weatherman - 08 May 2024

“The Wild Woman comes through sound as well; through music which vibrates the sternum, excites the heart; it comes through the drum, the whistle, the call and the cry. It comes through written and the spoken word; sometimes a word, a sentence, or a poem, or a story, is so resonant, so right, it causes us to remember, at least for an instant, what substance we are really made from, and where is our true home” - Women who run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

My time at Equation Festival ’24 in the beautiful country side of Mai Chau was fulfilling with sunny skies, reciprocal embraces, and t r a n s p o r t a t i o n s with magical beings <3

Headquaters Upstairs - w/ Bongomann [14-03-20]

The alias of Ryan Cheng, The Weatherman is the Singaporean’s artistic core; an overarching multihyphenated potpourri of talents and offerings that transcends the role of an ordinary DJ. 

Ryan’s expression as an audiophilic selector is constantly in flux while dexterously controlled, manifesting in jazz-sprinkled deep house, psychedelic electronica, experimental Balearic, meditative ambient and beyond. 

Like the weather, Ryan’s repertoire is pleasantly unpredictable, embracing the changes and propelling his status as one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting DJs to hear.
