DJ Saigon

Saigon has been part of Toronto’s drum & bass community for more than two decades, developing a style rooted in the energy and culture of UK DnB while drawing from across the genre. Over the years, he has performed alongside and supported a wide range of international and local artists, while remaining closely connected to Toronto’s underground scene. In 2022, Saigon launched Archetype Sound, a Toronto event series created to bring the spirit of UK drum & bass culture to the city. Through Archetype, he has brought artists including DJ Hype, Daddy Earl, Shabba D, Harry Shotta, Critical Impact and Rusko to Toronto, with a focus on pairing established names with emerging talent and strong local support. More recently, Saigon has returned his attention to music production, developing his own take on modern jump-up. Whether producing, DJing or curating Archetype events, Saigon’s approach remains rooted in the same thing that first drew him to drum & bass: good music, proper energy and the culture surrounding it.
