Posted by VMan on September 9, 2021
With large success already under his previous artist monikers JUN and MMXJ, Singaporean artist MJ Kuok is arguably one of the most exciting names currently coming up within the electronic music scene of Hong Kong. His long career started back in 2009 when he took the stage at Singapore Idol as a finalist, and later went on to DJ in major regional festivals such as ZoukOut and massive events such as Djakarta Warehouse. Over the past years, MJ Kuok has truly discovered his love for electronic music production, consistently sharing tunes that have landed on major YouTube outlets, received support from numerous editorial Spotify playlists and even been placed in Mediacorp’s broadcast of the 2016 Olympic Games.
Now, following a lengthy and exciting rollout, MJ Kuok is finally ready to unveil his brand new album ‘Atlas’ in full, which front-to-back makes up for a truly exciting project. Driven by stunning melodies, subtle kicks and irresistible deep house energy, ‘Atlas’ is the culmination of years of experience, taking listeners on an auditory journey unlike any other. As the DJ and producer explains, this album represents his growth in self-discovery, as through its tracks he shares his first-hand life experiences in fulfilment, love, and even becoming an adult.
“I have dabbled in quite a number of aspects in the music industry from being a singer-songwriter to performing at major electronic festival circuits as a DJ to now, music production and ultimately rediscovering and finding a true sense of comfort in feel-good beats that I work on. Every song in ‘Atlas’ not only sheds light on a personal moment or experience but also captures an all-encompassing positive theme of hope and courage,” reveals the talented artist.
Alongside the release of ‘Atlas,’ MJ Kuok has shared a collection of one-of-a-kind NFTs, that combine beautiful landscapes with modern stylizations, allowing viewers to be transported to an artistic paradise.

Albums | “Icarus” by juuku will tear down dance floors
Posted by VMan on August 12, 2021
juuku is a force to be reckon with. The song holds a controlled power as it slowly builds in vibes and layers, spiraling into a tremendous explosion of booming trap injected vibes that still have an emotional backdrop to them. The pulsating layered vocals throughout really help bring this one to life, and each time the song builds its use of layered sonics can be heard expertly coming into play: bleeding into a repeating phrase that closes out the three-minute auditory experience. Check out a quote from juuku below:
“Ive been searching for a new sonic landscape to add onto my vision. I’ve pushed myself more and more every single day just to find a sonic emotion that describes me at this stage of my career. Icarus pushes these boundaries for me, and i’m able to find a new dimension to the music that has made me whole”
