Presenting the forecast for episode 34 of the 15-Min Flash Mix: we have the arrival of The Weatherman. It’s a fitting selector alias for Ryan Cheng, given his adoration for unpredictable sounds that suit varying listener climates, be it the alfresco euphoria of a beach bar or the dark debauchery of a club.

It's an acute skill that he picked up as a former resident of The Council in the pre-pandemic years, and was subsequently carried over to his current deck duties as a member of The DJ Dispensary with performances at Rumours Beach Club and W Singapore. Other significant achievements include opening sets for Tornado Wallace and KiNK, and guest sets for #SaveMusicSG and United We Stream Asia. The Weatherman’s path of maturation is one that’s seen his musical wisdom sharpened and palette broadened, leading up to a reputation as one of the scene’s more experimental DJs.

For the 15-Min Flash Mix, The Weatherman invites you to an audial experience he calls “Soundscapes for a beautiful you”. Melt, immerse, and amalgamate your mind and body with this captivating journey that cleanses and transports. With compositions from the innovative likes of Daniel Avery and Gonno, this mix is a traversal of world after world, from lush synthesiser gardens to cold droning expanses. Expect downtempo, psychedelic electronica that’s bendy and wavy, and ambient whirlpools that are more introspective and gravitational. In this mix, you’ll enter with a curious mind, and come out on the other end with a sense of rejuvenation and renewed wonder.

From the heart of The Weatherman, these are his “Soundscapes for a beautiful you.”
