Check out our EXCLUSIVE interview with DJ Jayson Forbes from Australia!

Lai Liao returns To Orchard Towers with DJ Jayson Forbes who will be here in Singapore for his debut spin this November 28th. The second time round at the venue! It's defintely gonna be a night to remember! HOT boys! HOT music! and HOT venue! WOOHOO!

Don't forget to follow the Facebook Event Page for the details of the party!

Lets go on with the interview, shall we?

DR: How did you discover your love for spinning?
JF: Back in the school days I discovered the 12" remix and later on CD maxi singles. Great as it was to have an ever growing collection of remixes and spending a lot of money buying them, all they were doing were popping out at parties or ending up on mix tapes for friends. I began clubbing in SydneyDJ in the early 90's, admiring the work of the DJ's who were spinning. It was then that I began to take note of the skills and techniques of a DJ. The fusion of tracks together, remixes of songs that people had never heard and experiencing the thrill it brought to the club patrons.

It wasn't until I purchased my first set of decks that I realised I was in love! I soon put my remix collection to good use. A lot of hard hours and many demo's later I soon landed my first residency which I still hold today at Arq night club, followed by a residency at Homesexual, topped that with playing back to back with Shigeki at the 2006 Mardi Gras Party in Sydney. This was jus the beginning of what has become an incredible journey.

How does it feel like to work with big names like Tony Moran, Offer Nissim duo Freemasons and Dannii Minogue?
I been very fortunate to play alongside some of the really names in the industry. It's one thing to have been influenced by their styles and certainly giving their productions a lot of air time in my sets, but an absolute honour to share the main room with them. Each of them have left their own mark on me and I suppose what eventually makes up the DNA of me as a DJ.

Where do you draw inspirations from?
I can't deny I have a major influence from the USA. A combination of circuit, progressive and tribal house. I've followed quite of few of the staple name DJ's for years now and am often inspired by the productions released by the likes of Tony Moran, Peter Rauhofer, Ralphi Rosario, DJ Paulo and Offer Nissim. Each of them add an ingredient to the mix and it's how you bring that all together is what identifies your sound.

Any exciting/embarassing moments?
I would have to say the most exciting moment to date was my first gig with Tony Moran. We'd met for a sound check prior to the event, but it wasn't until that night when he took over from me on the decks I had to pinch myself that I just opened for Tony. Most embarrassing moment also happened on the same night. After my set I got Tony to sign my copy of The Promise. Pen and CD in hand, looking like a total fan! I have to say though that the CD certainly holds a lot of memories for me.

What can fans look out for in your upcoming gig in Singapore?
I am really excited to be able to come up to Singapore to play. You can expect a total signature set full of vocals and great melodies, with a few surprise tracks along the way. A total salute to the dance floor.



Before we end... enjoy this mixset from DJ Jason Forbes.
