Hooks with menace, kicks that wallop, and tempos that sweep you off your feet with speedster tempos. If you’ve been paying attention, there’s been a hefty shift in the demands of dancefloors. And being the world-renowned superclub that it is, Marquee Singapore is quick on the uptake. The appetite for harder, more aggressive sounds has been voracious, and Marquee has been feeding that relentlessly with its event curation. It’s why the enormous establishment has recently brought in hard-banging behemoths like Charlotte De Witte, I Hate Models, Shlømo, and not to mention Sara Landry lined up for the year-end. But when it’s not hosting international juggernauts, Marquee wields this propensity for intensity with the acute vision of its resident DJs, which brings us to the first part of our Maestros Of Marquee series.

Party devotees would know that a respectable club is only as good as its residents who hold the fort. These are the tastemakers who dictate the sonic philosophy of a venue, responsible for both giving audiences what they crave and educating them on what’s up-and-coming. With the aforementioned surge of hard techno, hardstyle, and other affiliated genres that essentially pound like a piledriver, Marquee has positioned FVDER as this audio ambassador, plugging Marquee’s HYPERSONIC residency that entertains with extremities. Just imagine a destructive din of hard techno seething within the polished architecture of Marina Bay Sands. Yeah, that’s HYPERSONIC for you.

FVDER has been an industry staple for many years and Marquee is proud to have him

“Honestly, the audio and visual system at Marquee is incredible, and it doesn’t get enough recognition! It’s a game-changer for the whole experience,” shares FVDER who’s been helming the decks of Marquee for years. “I also really appreciate the teamwork behind the scenes – it takes a dedicated crew to make every night a memorable one for the guests. And, of course, getting to meet and perform alongside artists from around the world is a huge perk.”

Despite his humble work ethic, FVDER is no industry novice but a scene luminary. The alias of Jerry Wong, FVDER has been a staple in the DJ circuit and a sought-after asset behind the jogwheels. While he’s currently the orchestrator of mayhem as HYPERSONIC’s honcho, FVDER first gained prominence with his aptitude for underground hip-hop and Asian trap, rising through the scene with his patented spin. His genre versatility makes him a fluid selector, keeping revellers on their toes with seamless switcheroos and surprise drops. It’s the kind of artistic adaptability that’s required for the Marquee dancefloor, and FVDER – like the entity of electronic music itself – shows no reluctance to evolve. “I approach my role at Marquee with the mindset of never getting too comfortable or stuck in routine,” he adds. “For me, it’s all about constantly pushing boundaries and evolving, which aligns with Marquee's high-energy vibe in a fresh way.”

FVDER has made a name for himself beyond the sphere of music

As you might guess, FVDER’s portfolio is appropriately studded. Aside from cementing his reputation as a Marquee resident, the local DJ has also amplified his regional presence with international gigs in Shanghai (Le Baron), Seoul (The Henz Club) and BamBam (Saigon). FVDER’s also coveted in the fashion circles, with prior partnerships with the likes of Nike, Moschino, Prada and Longchamp. It’s a track record like this that makes FVDER more than just a DJ who reads the room, but an all-rounded tastemaker who’s suited for a cultural institution like Marquee. And as the direction of dance music goes hard, you can expect FVDER to not just be right on its tail, but leading the way.
