Born and raised in Singapore. Reiki was a vinyl-collector who stumbled upon hard hops and nuskool breaks at the tail-end of the 90s. Her style of DJing gradually developed, resulting in a wide gamut of musical genres in her sets. To date, Reiki has a quarterly mixshow residency on Lush 99.5FM radio. Having rode through the crest and trough of electronic music trends, 2015 sees her edging further into the fringe where she embarks on the research and development of Binaural X Project with Palm Avenue Float Club to create recordings for Brainwave Entertainment fans. .gif is an indieelectronic duo from Singapore and part of Dunce collective. The band formed in 2012 and since the debut of their EP saudade in 2013, they have gone on to perform at multiple major festivals such as Baybeats 2014, Java Soundsfair 2014, and most recently St. Jerome's Laneway Festival 2015. The band has also earned enthusiastic reviews on both international and local publications such as Earmilk , Indie Shuffle , and FasterLouder . The duo, comprising weish and din, treat .gif as a space of freedom, respite, and honesty. They strive to make electronic music that combines lush soundscapes with lyrics that are intensely personal and hopefully, meaningful to more people than themselves.
