Story
About
DJ TakeRun is a Singapore-based Japanese DJ and music curator, building warm, internationally minded sets for hospitality and lifestyle spaces.
His approach combines careful preparation with live crowd awareness. Rather than forcing a fixed playlist onto every venue, he shapes the music around the room, the time of day and the people in it.
Running and travel influence his musical perspective, but DJ booking and music remain the primary purpose of this site.
The near-term goal is simple: earn a regular place on Singapore's best rooftops — one well-read room at a time, working toward the city's most iconic addresses, Marina Bay Sands included. Every café, hotel lounge and bar date along the way is part of that build.
Run the World
Cities are experienced differently on foot. Running has become DJ TakeRun's way of reading the rhythm, scale and atmosphere of places around the world.
