Hell Yeah!
Dj Beware makes it easy for clubbers to lose their minds on the dancefloor to his unique style of putting together ass shaking music.
It all started for Beware in Hong Kong about 15 years ago, as a skateboard kid who went and bought music that he heard in skate videos, which was mainly hip hop, reggae, punk, rock; a little soul, jazz and drum n bass. And since we are talking about the 90s here, Beware also got hold of a fair share of house, techno and dance to throw into his collection. At that time this kid Beware wasn't collecting music to spin at parties or anything like that - he was just doing it because he loved it.
Djing came a couple of years later, when Beware saw former DMC world champ Dj Tommy cutting up records in the BFD skate store in Hong Kong. From that point on, Beware would start lugging his records to a friend's house to practice his mixing and scratching. This friend would be left in peace 2 years later when Beware decided to invest in his own pair of 1210s and mixer. Fast forward to the year 2000. Beware enters his first DMC battle in Hong Kong. He comes in 2nd. The next year he comes back to take the title and manages to make it to the top 13 in the World Finals in 2001 and in 2002, entertaining and surprising the crowd at Brixton Academy with his creative sets that incorporated Screaming Jay Hawkins, Britney Spears, Bad Company, Michael Jackson and even the soundtrack to Dirty Dancing!
Since then, Beware's unique and eclectic style of djing has brought him to clubs and festivals in Europe, Asia, Middle East and Australia. He has also toured with and collaborated with artists such as German Reggae artist Patrice, Viennese electronic musician I Wolf of the Sofa Surfers. Nowadays, Dj Beware juggles his time between club djing across the globe, hosting a popular daily mix show "Unlimited" on Radio FM4, plus doing remixes, productions and mixes for various artists and labels.
