From the days he began DJ-ing in 1985, Jeremy Boon has evolved over time to become one of Singapore's most influential DJs, as well as a force to be reckoned with on the international scene. Rainer Truby has given the thumbs up for this man, and "Shit Hot" is how London maestro Gilles Peterson describes him. From Hip Hop in the early 1980s to almost every sub genre of electronic music that has popped up since then, Jeremy has been a prime driving force behind the latest music in Singapore.

Few know that he was the one who played some of the FIRST records within Zouk's wall's, and the only one since Zouk's birth to continue playing there with a strong residency and following. Jeremy initially started off in Zouk's main room with DJ Alfredo from Ibiza (another key DJ in the international arena that influenced DJs like Nicky Holloway and Paul Oakenfold to kick start the UK scene). He was there for about 6 years, constantly exposing people to the latest in dance music as well as playing alongside the best DJs in the world before moving on to be resident of Velvet Underground in 1997, a new room in Zouk's premises.

Velvet has been his playground ever since, a place where he has the opportunity not just to continue breaking new ground, but also playing the kind of music that matters most.

One could say that Velvet gave Jeremy the chance to really grow musically and as a DJ. As the tempos got faster and the beats got harder, his integrity remained very much intact, choosing to educate clubbers not just in new forms of dance music, but exposing them to the roots of it, whether it be Afro, Latin, Funk, Soul and of course, Jazz. As he puts it himself, "I believe these are the basics that everyone will understand. It has and will always be around."

Although Velvet is known to most as a House club, he always treads the line and frequently crosses it - most DJs would know that having a residency and at the same time pushing the boundaries musically is a gargantuan task, but Jeremy has managed to cut right in between and provide the best of both worlds.

However, restless a soul as Jeremy is, DJ-ing alone is not enough - he has since moved on to production as well, a road frequently taken by the best and most capable DJs. He has been involved in remix projects for Hong Kong diva Sandy Lam as well as Singaporean rapper Sheikh Haikel.
