This promotional CD (which was my first ever!) was original mixed "live" into a Sony MZ-R55 from the traditional medium of two Technics SL1200MK2 turntables and a Gemini PS-646 mixer back in 2000 at a little vinyl shop called Hertz. It was also the nerve centre of an independent club night called Solace which was a brain-child of a lawyer and several like-minded DJ mates. It was perhaps the first of it's kind in Singapore that catered to the ever growing Progressive House and Trance community. Since it's debut in October 1999 and despite having a lifespan of about one year, Solace made an impact, earned itself a respectable following and has given many at each monthly event, memories that they will last an entire lifetime. I had the privilege to be a part of the team.

The mix captured the spirit and sound of my various outings with Solace... and it also marked the start of my journey as a Progressive / Trance DJ.

Singapore's pioneering progressive / trance DJ started his DJing career in 1991 and was launched into the public eye with repeated guest appearance at Zouk's "Sessions". He has garnered over a decade of deck and studio experience and over the last 5 years, amassed worthy mentions and credits from all the big international boys after securing the spot of support DJ for the Gatecrasher tours in Singapore.

In the past years, the popularity and hype revolving around his name has rocketed sky high whilst DJing alongside stellar gods such as Hybrid, Paul van Dyk, Scott Bond, Above & Beyond, Solarstone, Darude, Agnelli & Nelson, Pulser, Matt Darey, John Askew, Kyau vs Albert, Thrillseekers, Lange, Misja Helsloot, Gareth Emery and Mike Koglin.

It has been a phenonmenal journey, and he is constantly gathering more accolades with high profile gigs like Mt Fuji Rock Festival 1999, Bali NYE 2006, Midem 2000 Opening Party (Carnes) and etc. His career has brought him to many corners of the globe, from Hong Kong to Prague, from Malaysia to Japan, from Indonesia to United Kingdom...

Thus far, he has anchored for local brand nights like ongoing the locally popular PROGRESSIONS, ACCELERATION and SPACE 2020; inclusive of Singapore club residencies at Centro, Liquid Room and Barbaablackchic. He has been featured with several guest mix sets for international broadcasts like Solarstone's Deep Blue Radio Show on DI.FM and John Askew's show on VONYC.

On the music production note, he has done remix work on Marco V's "False Light" and Lange's "Sincere For You", both of which saw releases on limited-vinyl editions in Europe.

And dabbling in the world of uber cool afterhours sound, Yukun is a monthly feature on Singapore's Lush 99.5 FM's Saturday Mix Shows and is also hosting his own weekly mid-week show with the station.
