HEAR ME: Zedd 'Slam The Door'

Zedd is not a familiar name in Malaysia. Germany has been paying some props to Zedd over the years for his amazing remixes for Armand van Helden, Wolfgang Gartner and Fatboy Slim, and he was also appeared in Skrillex EP, which was almost a full album, for his remix of Skrillex's 'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites'. Early this month, Zedd has just came up with a new track entitled 'Slam the Door'. The track reached the #1 spot this week. If you enjoy big room electro sound, you have to check this tune.

ADVANCE WARNING: Loud pres. Hardwell @ Zouk KL (11/2/2012)

We saw Hardwell rip the dancefloor with his amazing set last year in front of a packed crowd at Zouk. This February, this young Dutch DJ will return to give you more bangers. He will not give you the time to breathe. Brace yourself for another big night out with Hardwell in Kuala Lumpur.

Hardwell is an award-winning DJ, producer, label manager, music lover, DJMag Top 100 list newcomer and he is barely 23 years old. For the last couple of years, Hardwell has been recognised by the industry as having a new and refreshing take on a scene that continues to evolve and seems to have an everlasting shelf life. His identity and musical development can be summed up in a single phrase, “Big Room House”.  He has created his unique trademark as a DJ and producer around this sound.


Hardwell’s international breakthrough came with his Show Me Love vs. Be bootleg of Steve Angello and Laidback Luke’s track and Robin S’ classic. That bootleg became one of the biggest and most played dance hits of 2009. In 2010 Hardwell went on to release several noteworthy tracks such as Alright 2010 ft Red Carpet and Feel so High ft I-Fan, licensed to 10 countries. Tracks like Molotov and Voyage and Move It To The Drum, a co-production with Chuckie, have had great support from the biggest names in the scene.

With his successful collaboration with Tiesto for 'Zero 76', this new kid on the block is here to stay. If you have not listen to his set before, make your way down to Zouk and make sure you have a pair of good shoes to keep you dancing all night.

AFTER PARTY: Djakarta Warehouse Project 2011 @ Tennis Indoor Senayan, Jakarta - Indonesia (9/12/2011)

The Djakarta Warehouse Project is back for the third time last year with its biggest line-up so far including the legendary Roger Sanchez and Jazzy Jeff among other international acts in the bill over 3 arenas. Among all big parties happening in this region, I've decided to skip ZoukOut and flown to Jakarta for this massive party!

Djakarta Warehouse Project is organised by Ismaya Group, the people behind some of the best concerts in Jakarta including Suede, Two Door Cinema Club, Cut Copy, Digitalism and many more, and owner of outlets such as Dragonfly and Blowfish. So this is the best time for me to experience the "IsmayaLive" since it is a music festival. Plus, I haven't been to Jakarta for the past 3 years now and I really, really miss the city.

Roger Sanchez on the decks

I have not been to many international festival besides ZoukOut and Avalon in Singapore but overall, I can say that Djakarta Warehouse Project is one of the best parties I've been to. It's a whole different experience, I must say. I'm not sure how many people were there but Roger Sanchez played in front of a packed crowd. Without a doubt, his set was fucking ace.

Besides Roger Sanchez, I think Moonlight Matters did a pretty good set at the Black Area by Clear. He pulled everyone on the dancefloor with his indie disco vibe. Same goes with the legendary Jazzy Jeff. Fans of old skool hip hop went bananas when he dropped his cutting-edge DJ set. Don't be surprised. I saw a tudung girl when Jazzy Jeff was on stage.

Cosmic Gate on stage

If I have the money, I don't mind flying there again for the next Djakarta Warehouse Project. It is a good music festival which I would recommend to everyone besides ZoukOut in South East Asia.
