Winky Wiryawan is an Indonesian DJ and producer with a career stretching back to the 1990s.

A broad club vocabulary

His EMPC artist biography describes a DJ shaped by Indonesia's rave culture and comfortable blending different musical styles. That flexibility is audible in the Pestapora 2025 session: Indonesian songs and his own edits sit beside internationally familiar house records, with transitions built around melody, contrast and crowd recognition.

Where to start

Watch the Pestapora 2025 set for a fuller picture of his DJ approach. For his recorded work, try Guess Not with Gloria Jessica and Heal, the 2025 collaboration credited to Weird Genius, Winky Wiryawan and Venes. His release catalogue also documents house and tech-house productions with Fickry.
