About Supermodified
What happens when three industry experts get together and realize it s time for a change? Supermodified is a concept born out of frustration: Our activities at the Agency reflect our own experiences as touring DJs, promoters, club owners and music lovers. our aims are simple: to ensure that everyone involved with an event or tour is happy, to provide top quality DJs with top quality events while pushing the SE Asian scene forward in a positive direction.
Robb Harker – agency director
pioneering the electronic music scene in Seoul, South Korea since the inception of sickboy productions in 1998; robb’s production company has become synonymous with quality events ranging from small club nights up to full-scale events. Robb brought top quality DJ talent to Seoul and effectively put South Korea on the map as a regular stop for djs on the Asian Tour circuit. 2003 saw Sickboy s expansion into Bali, Indonesia where the company now handles virtually all of the International DJ traffic. In 2004 Sickboy Productions returned to Seoul to open the city s first super club M2. Under the direction of Sickboy M2 quickly became the venue of choice for clubbers throughout Korea.
