One to keep an eye on in the London techno scene, WVRM POOL has quickly amassed a reputation for delivering intense dance floor moments. He draws inspiration from his many years as a bassist for hardcore, psychedelic and funk bands back in his home country, Singapore. This unique mix of stylistic influences lends itself to relentlessly driving sets, with intricately layered hypnotic textures all bound together with an unmistakable, underlying groove. His style involves intricate layering of tracks, creating intense soundscapes, full of percussive, gritty and sometimes overwhelming sounds.
As someone who grew up in live music spaces, WVRM POOL knows exactly how to put a sound system to the test, and often builds his sets around the type of speakers available for him to play with. This results in improvised mixes that vary in dynamics, energy and style, depending on location and time, with no two sets sounding the same. He will however, consistently aim for creating introspective dance floor moments, quiet, yet intricate audio landscapes, creating space for listeners to lose themselves in the sound.
He has taken over the decks at some of London and Singapore’s most notable parties such as UNFOLD, Riposte, HTBX, FLUXO, Endless Return, Modal, Headquarters, Impulse Control and countless more. His latest venture, Cooked, is a youtube series and online platform highlighting his collaborators' love of food and music. The series presents viewers with a chaotic, yet intimate B2B, where DJ’s mix and prepare a meal simultaneously. To them, music and food are the most powerful ways of bringing people together, and this format allows DJ’s to showcase their love in a way that most audiences will never get to see. It is a window into their everyday lives, a glimpse into a part of who we are that we often forget.
