Our
Story
The Collective
​
Made up of DJ Passion, Paul Michael and Toby Doman AKA Round Midnight, they each made their mark rising through the UK House scene with their signature sounds, playing iconic venues such as Ministry of Sound and Pacha.
​
Next stop Singapore, with the trio individually establishing themselves across Asia, from DJing at prestigious dance floors like CeLaVi Singapore, to laid back venues such as Café Del Mar Phuket and Sunday Social at Sentosa.
​
With the trio now based in Hong Kong, Paul has set up Silent Disco Asia, Toby is proliferating the airwaves with his radio residencies, and Matt is producing and releasing remixes with the industry's best.

DJ Passion
​
DJ Passion is a Hong Kong-based international DJ, Producer and Remixer who remains at the forefront of the House scene. Starting out in the UK's mid-90’s Pirate Radio explosion, his DJ journey has taken him to from definitive venues such as London's Ministry of Sound and The End, to the prestigious dance floors of Asia at CeLaVi Singapore (DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs), and Café Del Mar Phuket.
​
Equally at home playing laid back Rooftop Bars and Beach Clubs, or tearing up a Main Room set, Passion’s vibe is always guaranteed to be on point, bringing “hands in the air” House Music with positivity, funk and soul.
​
With over two decades of proven production pedigree via releases licensed to Warner, Universal, EMI and Sony, DJ Passion’s tracks have garnered support from the likes of Grant Nelson, Todd Edwards, Scott Diaz, Soledrifter, Mark Di Meo and Sebb Junior. His collaboration “Stronger” with Sheree Hicks on Soulstice Music, topped the Traxsource Sales Charts, and 2023 sees new productions and remixes signed to iconic labels such as KingStreet, Purple Music and DJ Spen’s Quantize Recordings.
Toby Doman
For over 20 years Toby has been drawing influences from the classic House and Disco sounds. Cutting his teeth on the UK House scene with long running promoters LAMERICA in Cardiff, Toby has played alongside the likes of Sandy Rivera / Kings of Tomorrow, Jamie Lewis, The Slammin Boys and DJ Disciple amongst others.
​
A switch to London saw him playing at some of the capital’s better known night spots, including Brixton’s Plan B and Mass, as well as Ministry of Sound, Pacha and AKA with Norman Jay, Sam Divine, Seb Fontaine and CJ Mackintosh to name a few. Radio is also a passion and Toby has worked as a presenter on UK commercial radio with Vibe 101 in Bristol, held a three year residency with Hong Kong’s Fauve Radio and currently hosts a monthly disco and house music show on Eaton Radio under his Round Midnight guise.
Paul Michael
​
Today, Paul Michael is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, but it all started nearly three decades ago in Northern Ireland with a pair of borrowed 1210’s and a mixer. Paul established himself in the club and party scene of the 90s honing his craft, perfecting his crowd-reading, and mastering his diverse track selection.
​
In 2009, Asia beckoned with a move to Singapore and the opportunity to take on the energy of the Singaporean bar and club scene. He quickly became a staple with residencies at Bartini and Marikos leading to guest sets at Creatory, The Screening Room, P.S. Cafe and Sunday Social. Paul's hard work and unrelenting dedication to music, led him to set up the monthly ‘Shop:House’, ‘Unprofessional’ and ‘East Side Out’, offering a unique mix of DJ sets with live percussion, saxophone and vocals.
​
Over the past 14 years, Paul has played across Asia, with gigs in Hong Kong, Vietnam, and headlining ‘Sunshine Nation: Island Take Over’ in Malaysia.
​
Paul currently runs Silent Disco Asia, providing boutique parties for up to 400 people, featuring three DJs with three different music styles!
