Trevor Fung began his DJing career at 16 and was quickly earning a reputation for his taste and knowledge of both UK and American Soul Funk and Jazz. In 1983 through his European tastes and connections Trevor was invited to be resident at Amnesia in Ibiza to spin his now mixed style of dance music. On Trevor’s return and throughout the mid eighties he teamed up with long time friend Paul Oakenfold to set up a club called ‘The Funhouse’ playing similar sounds from his Ibiza experience alongside the popular Hip Hop and Go-Go sounds of that time. This was followed by the formation of his infamous ‘The Project’ club with another club resident DJ Carl Cox. The Project Club was strongly influenced at that time by the new sounds coming in from the Detroit and Chicago. HOUSE MUSIC!
In the summer of ‘87 Trevor took ‘The Project Club’ concept to Ibiza where together with Ian St Paul he opened a bar in San Antonio, playing to a very mixed crowd that was attracted by the then unusual combination of Hip Hop, Indie, Acid and House music Trevor had incorporated into his unique style. This later became known within the music press as ‘Balearic Beat’ on which he compiled for FFRR with Pete Tong the infamous Balearic Beats album. In 1988 Trevor’s influence over fellow friends and DJ’s ignited a chain reaction in London. Nicky Holloway, Paul Oakenfold, Johnny Walker and Danny Rampling were all early visitors to Trevor’s nights both at The Project Club and Amnesia and were inspired to change the face of the London Club Scene by launching seminal nights such as ‘The Future’, ‘Spectrum’, ‘Shoom’, “Enter The Dragon” ‘The Land Of Oz’, ‘Rage’ and ‘ Trip’.
Following this period Trevor could be seen playing at all the spectacular one-off ‘M25 Orbital live events’ such as ‘Sunrise’, ‘Energy’, ‘World Dance’ and ‘Biology’ which in turn led to long-term residencies at ‘Rage’, ‘Enter the Dragon’, ‘Spectrum’ and ‘Love @ the Wag’.
Trevor has been working recently on his regular gigs and also as host to other major club nights like ‘Clockwork Orange’, ‘Shoom’ ‘Golden’, Dance88/89” and Ibiza’s ‘Pikes’ with some of the biggest DJ’s from the USA and UK, featuring some of clublands’ most respected promoters and DJ’s, legendary DJ’s Danny Krivit, Franck Roger, DJ Deep, Robert Owens, Danny Rampling, DJ Pierre and Terry Farley. Also he has been busy on the festival circuit and has done Glastonbury, Bestival and Big Chill to name a few..
