Beats Per Minute with Nick Cheo
From viral edits to live decks, Nick Cheo’s set was pure electricity. His sharp transitions and fearless mixing turned the Beans&Beats floor into an unforgettable night of sound and motion. Out of the many sets I’ve produced so far, this one stands out as the most refined — a full showcase of the energy, atmosphere, and craft behind both the performance and the production.
It’s a product of learning, refining, and pushing — of finding new ways to capture the energy of our events and translate them into visuals that live beyond the night.

FOR REAL FEST - AFTERHOURS
BEANS&BEATS took over a mall for FOR REAL FEST. 2 DAYS, 3 STAGES, BIGGEST SOBER PARTY IN SINGAPOREDJ SET FEATURED: Smooth Brain Girly @smoothbraingirly
Out of the twelve live sets I’ve filmed from this event, this set remains my favourite. Despite an audio issue during recording, the edit became an exercise in rhythm and intuition, making sure the crowd’s hype and the night’s raw energy was amplified through the different angles, while balancing technical imperfection with emotional atmosphere.

BEANS&BEATS SELECTION: TEEJ
DJ FEATURED: TEEJShaped by a decade in New York’s diverse music scene, Teej’s sound draws from afrobeats, baile funk, and the SWANA region. His original productions feature prominently throughout this mix, offering a glimpse into his distinct musical vision.
The very first DJ set I filmed for Beans&Beats.
It was far from perfect — shots were out of focus, framing was slightly off, and we had yet to invest in proper lighting. But this project became the foundation for everything that followed. Through it, I learned the essentials of filming live sets, from colour grading to working with unpredictable ambient lighting, and how visual rhythm can enhance a DJ’s performance.
