AFTER PARTY: ZoukOut 2010 @ Siloso Beach, Sentosa - Singapore (11/12/2010)

The Story Begins...


One World, One Music, One Tribe, One Dance. The tagline describes what ZoukOut is all about. ZoukOut once again got the world's attention in celebrating 10 years of great music, love and unforgettable memories with massive line-ups over four stages including two of the world's biggest DJs, Tiesto and David Guetta.

It was a hectic Saturday because I had to attend a wedding and catch a 5pm flight from LCCT, Sepang to Singapore. Thank god that it was not delayed like most flights to Singapore. Cheers to that, AirAsia!

ZoukOut 2010 was jam-packed with more than 30,000 people along the beach. About 10,000 people queued as early as 3pm to get their last minute tickets and sales started at 6pm. It was all snapped up by 8.30pm. Bad luck to the latecomers. Phew, glad to have my ticket in hands on the first day of sales in Zouk KL.

I got in the festival arena about 10pm, hanging out and checking out the stage schedule. It was good knowing that all my favorite acts are not clashing and I thought I could see them all but I couldn't.

Here's a brief review of the DJ sets that I managed to see at ZoukOut

Afrojack
Bangduck, Polka Dots, Taking Over Control. He dropped most of his own productions with a commercial touch. Not the kind of sound that I'd like to hear at a festival but to tell you the truth, that's what people love to hear. I had this conversation with Patrick and he said "I hate this kind of shit but if this is in KL (referring to the sound/genre), everybody will go crazy."

Don't hate the player, man. Hate the game :)

Lindstrom
While waiting for Booka Shade, I decided to stick at Stage B before I throw up listening to Dutch House. Those wee-wee-woo sound made me feel a bit nauseous. So I got to check out Lindstrom brilliant set. Great sound with a mix of guitar and synths, indie feel that turned out to be a beautiful melodic live show. Great stuff.

Booka Shade
"Good choice," according by most and I enjoyed every bit of it. Amazing 1 hour and half live show. The duo did a round of house, techy stuff from their album including the famous track Body Language, Mandarine Girl and their latest track Regenerate taken off their new album, More! Booka Shade is definitely in my favorite list.

Laidback Luke
Too many mash-ups and I've heard better.

Tiesto
Not bad for someone who has already change his music style. Tiesto did electro stuff, very c'mon-esque kind of vibe with a number of Trance including his classics such as Adagio For Strings and Traffic.

David Guetta
I don't think I should give a comment on this. David Guetta is David Guetta. Nuff said.

So what do I think about ZoukOut?

It was fantastic and definitely the most important event in the Electronic Dance Music scene to the globe. With more than 40 percent foreigners from the total party revellers, ZoukOut Singapore sets a new record despite the S$20 hike in ticket price.

I look forward to the next ZoukOut!

And with a roll call that has included all of the top names in the electronic dance music scene, it’s no wonder that Boombox regular Sander Van Doorn is keen to return to headline at Thirst on December 4th. Sharing his limelight is Richard Durand, one of the biggest success stories in dance music in 2009, and the man Tiesto rates as one of his top DJs, ensuring a harder edge to the Thirst sound, against Van Doorn’s trademark melodic euphoria.

Adding his own muscular sound to Thirst is one of 2010’s hottest rising DJ and production talents,the Suriname-born Chuckie. One of the chief architects of the tuff-electro influenced dirty house sound, his Dirty Dutch night has gone from basement club fixture to 30,000 capacity arenas and this year has seen him moving towards the kind of crossover success that superstars like David Guetta have enjoyed by partnering with legends like P. Diddy, Akon, and Toni Braxton.

Add to that a special collaboration from DJ Blink and Goldfish, MCing and DJing from Joey G, an early evening set from Ian Ross and a special opening set from the winner of DJ competition Found @ Thirst (full details at www.thirst.com.my), as well as a massive line up of lifestyle activities that includes a special music-themed creative zone, and the stage is being set for the outdoor festival of the year at Thirst.

BLOG THING: Tune Talk to bring in more big names

The Story Begins...

TUNE TALK TO BRING IN MORE BIG NAMES
Following success of Paramore campaign


KUALA LUMPUR, 14 November 2010 – American pop-punk band Paramore was on our shores only for one night but their maiden concert in Malaysia ‘Paramore Live in Kuala Lumpur’ at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil is still playing in the minds of fans.

They keep on asking for more and Tune Talk is saying: “Yes, we’re listening.”

Paramore’s Hayley Williams, Josh Farro, Jeremy Davis, Zac Farro and Taylor York rocked the 12,000-strong crowd at the stadium throughout their 90-minute performance on 19 Oct, cementing its position as Kuala Lumpur’s music event of the year. The band then went on to win the Best Alternative award at the recent MTV Europe Music Awards.

Presented by Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid as title sponsor, the concert was co-organised by Tune Tones (formerly known as Tune Entertainment), which together with Tune Talk are members of Tune Group of Companies. AirAsiaRedTix, a division of the world’s best low cost carrier AirAsia, was the official ticketing agent.

Paramore’s performance in Kuala Lumpur received rave reviews from the media, who hailed the band for their energetic performance and clean, drug-free record. Meanwhile, personal blogs and social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter were filled to the brim with photos, postings and comments of the fans’ concert experience. And to Tune Talk, this is a cause to celebrate.

“We agreed to bring in Paramore even though we knew the cost could be a hindrance but it proved to be the right thing to do. We are so elated with the public’s response towards the first mega concert presented by Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid and to us this was the most exciting branding and marketing campaign we’ve had so far,” exclaimed Tune Talk CEO Jason Lo.

He noted that Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid’s Facebook group membership increased ten-fold from less than 1,500 previously to over 15,000, mainly driven by the Paramore craze.

“Through Paramore we are now connecting even more to the youth market via social media. More and more people are aware of Tune Talk’s offering as the mobile prepaid to offer the lowest flat rates nationwide and we are now a cool brand that everyone wants to be associated with. In this regard Paramore had provided a big boost to our positioning as a young, dynamic and fun brand that is aligned to the lifestyles of the people,” said Jason.

In view of the success of its Paramore campaign and in recognition of the youth market craving for lifestyle experience and their favourite music, Jason said Tune Talk is working on bringing more regional and international acts into the country.

“This is still being worked out and we will make the announcements when the time comes. In the meantime we encourage everyone to join our Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid community as our subscribers will not only enjoy the lowest rates for calls, short messages and data but will also receive direct benefits and enjoy privileges through our campaigns and promotions. For the Paramore show recently, for example, we gave a whopping 20% airtime bonus based on the purchased ticket price to our subscribers. Some even got to get up close and personal with Paramore!” he added.

At 16 sen per minute for voice calls and 5 sen per SMS to any domestic operator, and 5 sen per Megabyte of data, Tune Talk offers the lowest prepaid rates in the country. It recently launched a loyalty programme ‘Tune Talk Points for AirAsia Flights’ that allows subscribers to accumulate points when topping up and redeem those points for flight seats to any AirAsia and AirAsia X destination.

On the local scene, Tune Talk has supported musical talent shows like the Raaga Astro Awards 2010.

Jason, himself a singer, musician and songwriter, has three albums to his credit and will be launching his fourth album soon.

AFTER PARTY: Paramore Live in KL @ National Stadium, Bukit Jalil (19/10/2010)

The Story Begins...


The wait is over. After 6 years touring the globe, Paramore finally making a stop on our soil. Expensive tickets? Cry your heart out 'cause 8,000 fans were there and believed the concert was worth more than what they have paid.

Hayley and co put up a quality show to their fans who waited outside the venue as early as 4PM and performed 18 songs from their albums including their famous hits "That's What You Get", "The Only Deception" and "Decode" (ahem... for the Twilight freaks... ahem) with two encores over 2 hours at this long-awaited concert.


In the middle of the show, the band did a short acoustic session of four songs with light bulbs hanging on top and a couch as props. It was so calming when they performed "Misguided Ghost" and left the crowd singing the last few lines before they continue to rock the stage. Dim lights, the sound of acoustics and Hayley's voice that sounded the same like you hear in the CD were just amazing.

Fans wanted more after they left them hanging as soon as they finished performing "The Only Exception". So they did another two songs, "Brick by Boring Brick" and "Misery Business" to wrap the show. Y2K (the opening band) and a fan were invited to the stage for the final song. How lucky that dude was! He got the chance to hold the iconic carrot mic! Confetti, fireworks and one bloody rocking set drenched the crowd in sweats. Thank you, Paramore. Malaysians enjoyed every bit of your concert and we can finally sleep well at night.

AFTER PARTY: Avalon At Large - GO! @ Marina Bay Sands Expo (24/9/2010)

The Story Begins...


With S$68 for one night event, I got to see two of my favorite acts Chemical Brothers and Empire of the Sun. Sweet little trip to Singapore that left me with the best party experience ever... even though we missed the first night.

We reached there roughly around 9:30pm and not too long after we got there, Australian Electronic band Empire of the Sun ready to rock the ground. The band did a set of songs including their monster tunes Walking on a Dream and We Are the People which thrilled us all. Even though crowd interaction was less, they still did a spectacular performance. A+ for the dancers, props, costumes and Luke Steele's amazing stage showmanship (especially when he perform on a wheelchair for Without You).

We left for food and back for Chemical Brothers.

Though it was only their DJ set, they still put up a good show along with blinding lights, massive laser setup, and their signature chemical beats. Seriously, I got really high without any substance. From Techno to Progressive and a little bit of Breakbeat, the duo put us all in frenzy. It was an amazing 3-hour set and they left us with "Star Guitar" and "Hey Boy Hey Girl" for closing. Epic!

More than 10,000 strong crowd was there partied till the wee hours. Great crowd, great vibe and great event. There's always a new experience every time I visit Singapore. Cheers to the Avalon team!

Too bad. I was there right after midnight and missed my favorite band Tenderfist and Arabyrd collabo. That shouldn't be the issue here because The Rapture was rocking the house in full blast performing "House of Jealous Lovers". Rapture's frontman Luke Jenner had this high-pitch voice that got everyone partying hard and I believe you have never seen tudung girls, indie kids and party poseurs (no pun intended) enjoying this together. The best moment of their performance was when the band bring down the vibe playing "Open Up Your Heart". Hands down, Luke Jenner's voice was amazing.

Literall was up on stage after Rapture and that was their debut performance ever comprising music and visuals. Literall is Lapsap with the help of Sebastian Jurowski on the visuals. The outcome was pretty banging and some of the visuals were tickling my funny bones though. The night was wrapped perfectly by D.I.M. from Germany. Though not many stick throughout the night, the real electro junkies had the best party of their lives.
