DJ Vortex (Singapore / Exitmusik.com)

About Me

Vortex is easily one of the best-loved drum & bass jocks and also a pioneer in Singapore’s growing drum n bass scene. Behind the decks, Vortex’s signature blend of hard hitting beats with liquid smooth bass lines always gets the crowd grooving. Already rinsing out the dance floor with rolling sounds, Vortex can also be caught exploring dubstep, broken beats, deep house, bossa nova, funk and hip-hop. A night out with Vortex is a musical journey to look forward to.
Vortex has shared deck duties with international DJs like Goldie, Pendulum, LTJ Bukem, London Elektricity, DJ Marky, Concord Dawn, Makoto, Jenna G, Nutone, Utah Jazz and more. Vortex has also spread his sound to other cities like Osaka, Bangkok, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur.
When not dropping red hot choons at the console, Vortex is packing heat with Exitmusik dot com, arguably Asia’s most respected underground music portal. The Face of Drum n Bass is also the man responsible for +65, the nation state’s own music and arts event by the people for the people.
