About Me
With equal accomplishments as a DJ and VJ, Avneesh is both ears and eyes on the decks. For him, the dual worlds of visual and sound are inextricably linked in the event and nightlife arena, where both are critical elements necessary to elevate the audience experience to its highest state. While it is one thing to have reached as far as either a DJ or VJ, it is exceptional for this Mauritius-Singapore talent to be creatively in sync with both at the same time, and for it to form his core identity as he makes his mark. A schizophrenic savant, Avneesh plays with all aspects of the game and he too is sometime graphic designer, professional photographer and music producer as and when the muse calls and the siren beckons. He is the king pin behind the bimonthly music podcast and music releases of his own creative outfit, electrocaÃne.
From the island of Mauritius to the island of Singapore, Avneesh carries with him a witches’ brew of sounds, formidable in the heat of a club to tropical garden bar or 20,000-strong beach festival.
Born and raised right smack in the middle of a colourful culture and exotic expression, Avneesh goes beyond beats and bars in his sets towards the achievement of musical harmony, form and flow. With the groove in his heart, it’s second nature for him to transport dancers from dub tempo sounds to hip hop and nu jazz to bodyrockin’ house and techno in one eclectic fusion.
Over the years, Avneesh has accumulated residencies at Supperclub Singapore (2008) and various bars throughout the island together with his LOOP collective night at Zirca and Homeclub (Singapore). Landmark appearances for the versatile DJ include the F1 Podium Lounge in Singapore (2011), ZoukOut in Singapore (2012) and a dOSe of Escape Festival in Vietnam (2013). He has supported numerous DJs, including Alex from Tokyo, DJ Bone, Grouch, Deetron and Nicolas Lutz. Of his accolades, he was crowned JUICE DJ Quest Champion in 2010 and a DMC Mauritius turntablist finalist in 2007.
Combining technical prowess with artistic sensibility, Avneesh’s eye for moving visuals is rooted in the colours, shapes and textures that transform the ordinary 2D experience into an extraordinary 3D immersion.
Having had a regular fixture as a VJ at Singapore music institution Zouk, he has been the visual co-pilot to numerous acts including Maya Jane Coles, Soul Clap, Agoria and Mount Kimbie, creating the memorable visual backdrop to match every groove shift and breakdown. Also one of the key moving visualists for Singapore-based label Midnight Shift, he has put pixel to beat for guests including Xhin + Surgeon, Jerome Sydenham, Mike Huckaby and Deetron. In 2013, he made his debut as VJ for artists KiNK and Green Velvet at Decibel Festival (Seattle).
His visuals straddle the worlds between the dark, raw, grime and street, comfortably modifying his work to merge with the community underground or the corporate overground for clients such as Red Bull, Heineken, Johnnie Walker, Ray Ban and Puma. His talent spans from the creation of promotional video teasers, to live VJing gigs and projection mapping installations.
Warning: this is but a little glimpse of the uniqueness of the sound awaiting you. Let him rearrange your brain with his intoxicating tunes and addictive melodies. Fasten your seatbelts!
