VJ Donkie

VJ (Audio-visual performance artist), is a little known role in Hong Kong’s music scene. But VJ Donkie is about to change all that. Treading the fields between graphics design, web design, he has the solid foundation of a VJ. With a solid background in graphic design and web engineering, there is no one more suitable than him to be the man behind the VJ deck. All this work has paved a smooth road for him as a VJ.
Also a DJ, he knows the mind sets of his partners in crime, ‘most venues are quite small, so VJs do not have the luxury of seeing what the DJ is doing. This could make it hard for some. But as I was once a DJ, I just know where the cues are. When s/he moves, I’ll already know it 8 bars ahead.’
Like a well-travelled journeyman, the continuous sets he’s played with world’s top DJs has trained him to be a truly versatile artist. He plays to the mood and sets the tone for the DJ, knowing that as a visual artist, his most important job is to add to the music. ‘It is very important to not overpower DJ’s sets. But you have to know what he’s playing. If it’s progressive trance, you play cuts that are smooth. If it’s breakbeat, you play funkier cuts. You have to know the nature of the artist and what he plays so you can add to it.’
Besides electronic music, he’s played to a varying group of rock bands with a favourable results. He’s also welcome to playing with a live jazz band. He’s been in the frontline of world’s top DJ sets, including for Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, DeepDish, Ricky Stone ,Adam Freeland, Dieselboy. Some highlights include playing at a beach party to the throng of thousands. Below is the most current sampling of VJ Donkie’s work.
