Stellar Music 45 : KEISHI (Singapore/ London) - PlusSIxFive London, Stellar Music


With almost a decade of being involved in the electronic music scene through behind the decks, managing global artists bookings and running a house music podcast (Stellar Music Podcast), DJ Keishi has spun in some of the biggest brand name events known throughout the world - Global Underground, Ministry of Sound (New Year’s Eve party) + Space Ibiza (World Tour).

Early on in his pursuit for musical excellence, Keishi won several DJ competitions – one of resulted in him being Singapore’s 1st J
UICE Magazine DJ Quest Champion in 2002. Between then and now and somewhere along that timeline, he went on to perform alongside DJs Sander Klienenberg, Dave Seaman, Slacker, Lucien Foort, Kasey Taylor, Electric Tease and Space Ibiza resident Jose De Devina & Tania Vulcano.; as well as residency stints at Centro Singapore (2003 – 2004) and Insomnia (2001).

In Singapore, his decade long experience behind the decks had made him one of the most recognized DJs in the house/ progressive/ electro genres. During those years, he played a range of respected venues in Singapore such as Café Del Mar, SupperClub, Le Noir/ Attica, HOME, Clinic's Aurum, Zouk's Phuture, the now-defunct Centro, Liquid Room and Suba, as well as for streets parties hosted by Sony Ericsson.

Through the years, Keishi has also chalked up some fairly decent air miles traveling to promote and perform in various cities in the UK, Holland, China, Hong Kong & Malaysia - churning out a unique style of of leg shaking and body gyrating progressive, minimal and electro tunes.

Since relocating to the capital of electronic music of London in 2007, Keishi has been running a minimal/ electro/ techno/ deep house music with ex-Zouk resident DJ and record owner of Mighty Rumble Records DJ Sonny (as well as business partner DJ KeanJin) called 'PlusSixFive London' - a boutique club night that lives, breathes & roams the streets and brick-lanes of east London.
