Case Woo (Groovebuddies, SG)
From electropop to trip hop, from manic depressive angst to dance culture, the early 90's saw Case releasing industrial electronica under the pseudonym of Censor. Hip2TheHype was a collaborative project which eventually became a precursor to his remixing team Quadmix, Singapore’s first major dance music signing with BMG and Warner/Chappell in the mid 90’s after the release of their first hit “Trick Rider”. Following the success of the breakbeat album "Rocking The 3rd Floor" in 1996. They also went on to win Singapore's COMPASS award for 3 consecutive years. Case’s deephouse and techno productions also caught the attention of vinyl labels Transport Recordings (San Francisco) and Lifetime Music (Berlin) after which followed his solo album “A Deeper Shade” which was hailed by industry maestros as the first deep/tech-house offering from Singapore. Case continued to push his own limits as a producer and that led him to create 3 melancholic downtempo albums with Asian veteran Kit Chan and a concert project with Hong Kong’s veteran and queen of classic pop Sandy Lam. Today, after nearly two decades of pure electronic music and genre experimentation, Case has come one full circle to return to his roots. Synthpop is back once again in the form of a collaboration with veteran DJ Angela Flame with their latest Asian Dynasty release on Beatport “Love Life Dynamite”.
