Damn it's been awhile since i've done a mix! Running the events and agency has kept me crazy busy over the last year or so,  but with all the free time that I have now coz of this pandemic..... I really have no excuse. 

Another reason, why I had to do a mix was because Blackout Agency was invited by More Unst Radio to host a takeover, so I gathered a few of my homies , Brendon P, Maurice Simon and the master of the trippyness Eric Volta to put together something for the show. (All other mixes be up soon) 

I went into this mix with the idea of creating something that could be played at sunset, sunrise or an after party. Something trippy, but laid back and not too intense. I put together some of my fav tracks here for this mix and ended on a note with "Bryan Ferry - Don't Stop The Dance." These four words mean even more to me than they did before, especially in these crazy times where clubs, bars, events, concerts festivals and everything that I love has now come to a standstill. 

Whatever troubles, whatever these new rules are, whatever the circumstances we may face, even as we are locked in our own home, put on some music and.... "Don't Stop The Dance."

Stay Home, Stay Safe
 
Enjoy the mix!

More Unst Radio x Blackout - Zig Zach "Don't Stop The Dance" (April 2020)

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!
