Co-Founder & Resident DJ at Ice Cream Sundays
Hailing from Manila, Toppings (aka Jake Camacho) has emerged as a fresh new face in the Singapore dance music scene.
As co-founder and resident selector of Singapore-based party collective Ice Cream Sundays, he has honed his craft playing to sweaty crowds at pop-up events around the city. He has also taken his sound to local hotspots such as Kilo Lounge, CÉ LA VI, Tanjong Beach Club, Camp Kilo, The Great Escape, Potato Head, TUFF CLUB, Canvas, and Bar Rouge, and is a familiar face behind the decks at underground favorite, Headquarters. While young in DJ years, he has steadily built his reputation playing alongside some of Singapore’s finest selectors, earning warm up slots for high-caliber international acts including AlunaGeorge, Henrik Schwarz, Chaos In The CBD, Soul Clap, Jasper James, Tornado Wallace, Lowheads, and Bosq, and representing the Ice Cream Sundays crew at IMI Festival and Garden Beats Festival.
With a background in music history, and having played a number of instruments from a young age, his exposure to diverse musical styles and traditions shines through in his eclectic approach to DJing. Rooted in deep, soulful, and lo-fi house infused with disco, funk, jazz and afrobeat, each of his sets delivers a potent blend of dance floor nostalgia, playful experimentation, and — at times — pure, uncut optimism.
