I'm still buzzing from Friday's massive David Guetta rave! My body hurts all over, but the pain is oh-so-good.

You know you've been to a hell of a wicked party when you wake up with a sore neck & shoulders, painful calves & aching arms. Friday night saw more than 20,000 revellers at the Paddock Parking of our famed racing circuit, the Sepang International Circuit.

I'm ready for a night of mayhem!

*disclaimer*

Didn't feel like lugging my DSLR camera around as I planned to party the hardest.

So all the photos in this blogpost are taken by the iPhone 4S 

Selca while waiting for boyfieKon to get ready – one of the rare moments I'm

ready before him because I've got so little clothes on LOL 

When it rained all day on Friday, I was fully prepared to rave the night away away nonetheless.

Double outfit of the day!

I chose a rainbow-coloured coordinate while boyfieKon wore his comical Futurama tee

Come rain or shine, the show must go on, yes?

But thankfully, the EDM gods must've heard our plight & stopped the rain before the event even began!

I headed down to Sepang with boyfieKon along with my buddies Larry & Sabrina.

The crowd

We missed local electro-techno DJ Xu & Australian DJ Kaz James' set upon arrival. Bummer! 

But we managed to watch the full set of Alesso, David Guetta & our homeboys DJ duo Blink & Goldfish. 

The very second I arrived, I put on my Ray-Bans & dived straight into the raging mosh pit, as usual!

What's a rave party if you sit at the sidelines and not get down raving, jumping, shuffling, headbanging your heart out? I just had to. The atmosphere was beckoning me – couldn't resist! 

We were trying hard not to get pushed and shoved even more when we took this photo! 

Shakey shakey!

boyfieKon and I at the crazy mosh pit! 

Alesso was spinning while I was springing along with full gusto!

The energy in me was roaring to go all out tonight.

I went beserk when 'Raise Your Head' was playing LIVE before me.

Oh Alesso!! 

Met up some friends at the mosh pit and I was so stoked! 

What are the odds? Bumping into your friends in a sardine-packed crowd of tens of thousands?

Buddy Hisham was one of them 

So glad to bump into buddy Anis at the mosh pit!

No, actually, we didn't bump into each other 

She called to ask where I was and managed to squeezed through the violent mosh pit just for me!

Major love for my girl, Anis 

I was actually surprised she was here!

Looks like there was more of a partygirl streak in her that I didn't know 

More camlovin'! 

boyfieKon joined us 

Friday night was also the first time I heard 'Every Chance We Get We Run' – a collabo between Alesso & David Guetta – which you can check out on the latter's latest album : Nothing But the Beat 2.0.

Alesso dropped many familiar tracks including all his original tracks and shot us to the sky with the mighty ones that clinched the #1 spot on Beatport!

Do you remember which ones? The atmosphere was uplifted yet again with 'Years' and 'City of Dreams'.

Milkyway backdrop!

I looked up to the sky, raised my hands and sang (screamed, actually!) along to the beautiful lyrics.

Don't know about the rest. I was flying high as a kite to take notice of everyone else around me.

But I'm pretty damn sure everyone else enjoyed themselves during Alesso's set. I know I did 

Loving the cityscape backdrop!

He ended his 1.5 hour set with crowd-favorite, 'Calling (Lose My Mind)' – a 2011 collaboration with Sebastian Ingrosso, paving the way our main headliner, David Guetta to steal the show.

We yelled for an encore but Alesso didn't return 

While waiting for the next act

Moving on….

David Guetta's entrance was nothing short of dramatic. See it for yourself! 

The helicopter-chopping sound effects & background music of his grand entrance reverberated from the giant sound systems surrounding the rave zone, invoking much suspense and anticipation from us all.

Thousands of us were chanting, "GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA!"

Finally… our World #1 DJ made his debut appearance in Malaysia!

He kick-started his 2 hour set with 'Titanium' featuring Sia which shot us all into a delirious frenzy.

YOU SHOOT ME DOWN! BUT I WON'T FALL!

I AM TITANIUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM!

I then started live-tweeting the songs he played for my friends, readers & followers who were unable to be there!

The first 5 songs Guetta performed were :

'Titanium' feat. Sia, 'She-Wolf' feat. Sia and a remix of 'Quasar' by Hard Rock Sofa, 'Sexy Bitch' feat. Akon and 'Craissy 2k12' by DJ Obek.

The moment I heard the very hint of 'Metropolis', I went absolutely crazy! 

I loved the song so much. It was a collaboration between Guetta & Nicky Romero

A colossal burst of shimmery confetti then filled the night sky as David Guetta dropped a deeper, pulsating beat to move our feet.

He sure had the bass tomelt the face!

Silly selca with confetti paper which landed on me

I traversed into a state of ecstasy and raved like no one was watching.

LOL candids that boyfieKon snapped

Being amongst an exuberant crowd jumping in unison felt like we all came here for one sole reason.

To gather in the name of EDM and muster all our energy to rave the night away 

Guetta's crowd interaction was fab. He even jumped onto the DJ console and jumped along with us!

Among the rather touching and heartfelt things he said was:

"I'm so happy to be able to be here and play for you for the very first time"

"This is my first Asian tour. Looks like tonight is going to be the best night and the biggest Asian tour I've done. Over 20,000 people. WOW! Thank you for making it so special"

At one point he even brandished his French flag and waved it in the air!

Guetta also pumped up the crowd with his original tracks 'Sexy Bitch' feat. Akon, 'Love is Gone', 'Bad Girl'. 'Without You', 'When Love Takes Over', 'Turn Me On'. 'One Love, 'Memories' feat. Kid Cudi, 'Where Them Girls At' and a truckload more!

Other songs he remixed were 'Fix You' by Coldplay, 'Apologize' by One Republic, and I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas among many others.

Sillytimes!

Some of Guetta's older songs actually reminded us of our late teenage years where those famed songs will be blasting non-stop in all the clubs every weekend. 

FLASHBACK!  Think 2009's 'Sexy Bitch', 2007's 'Love is Gone' and 2009's 'When Love Takes Over' 

We sang along with him when his track went "I'M DAVID GUETTA, BITCH!" instead of "I'm in Miami, bitch!"

I found that very amusing; he was chuckling while playing that too. We could all see his smile from a mile away!

Here's a video I made of the event. Do watch it! I've spent quite a while on it 

Watch out for the parts where David Guetta spoke to us in the crowd & jumped right on to the DJ deck with the explosion of sparklers and confetti bursts!

httpv://youtu.be/m5MYY3VX-UI

David Guetta & Alesso LIVE in Malaysia 2012. Enjoy! 

As Guetta clocked in his last 20 minutes of his set, boyfieKon and I decided to withdraw from the crowd & *finally* help ourselves to some ice-cold Heineken, hang out with some buddies and get a comfy place to sit down.

I didn't realize we've been standing & dancing for more than 3 hours! 

Hisham & us

Steve & us

Ben & I

Fireworks shot away from the stage and sky-rocketed into the air several times as David Guetta's set came close and closer to the end. It was magnificent! 

Looks like boyfieKon and I made the right choice to sit back and enjoy the more laidback crowd at the back lounging around compared to the insanity of the mosh pit.

Got an official photo taken for us! 

Goldfish & Blink took over right after as the closing act of the night. They dropped various tracks by Hardwell, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Swedish House Mafia, Knife Party and many hours in their 1 hour set.

The DJ duo also included a never-heard-before song booming from the speakers. It was 'Flags', their latest, original track produced in collaboration with Sidney Samson.

It's not out yet, but we all heard it first! 

httpv://youtu.be/plGQNPnNCb4

Here's a little snippet to how it sounds like

We left soon after Goldfish & Blink finished their set. 

Wasn't looking forward to throng through the crowd all leaving at the same time but we made it.

We had some dimsum at Jalan Ipoh thereafter… and its good night to all!

So yes, that made my Friday a notch more exciting than usual. 

Raving & soaring to progressive, house & trance amongst 25,000 fellow EDM-ers.

A night of world-class DJs spinning, an impressive stage set-up & lighting, and good company.

Bring on the next rave! 

Thank you Future Sound Asia for a phenomenal night! 

Happy Saturday peeps!

My week was amazing. I just returned from Genting Highlands.

Here's what been keeping me busy. Too good not to share. So, let's go!

In conjunction with the Genting International Magic Festival 2012, I was invited to attend the Media & Celebrity Night of  Superstars of Magic 2 one fine Friday night 

For those not in the know, Superstars of Magic 2 is the second instalment of the 90-minute production incorporating spellbinding magic, incredible talents, comedy and unbelievable illusions by a magician cast of 11, around the world all in one stage tonight.

Be prepared to be amazed! 

Here are some of the fellow guests that were with me for the show.

The four of us! 

Dennis, Me and Kon

Buddy Joe and I

Us with David and Andrew!

As it was already almost 9PM, we were ushered into Genting International Showroom where the show was about to begin.

The entrance itself was ethereal and had a glow of magnificence resonating from its walkway.

I'm so excited! 

We made our way to the VIP seats (thanks Genting!) and was prepared to be well-entertained and amazed.

The show started right on time! 

At 9PM sharp, our emcee of the show Chipper Lowell made his entrance and brought us lots of laughter with his hilarious banter!

He was chirpy and loud! Chipper made us giggle so much with his silly antics too 

He then introduced the first act of the night, Charlie Frye and company all the way from Las Vegas!

So happy to be able to watch the World's Best Variety Act right here 

His first show, Lord of the Rings was really cool. He held many interlocking large metal rings and somehow managed to separate them all and put them back together so quickly! 

It was comical when he entangled himself and then detangled himself again!

He did a second show called the Flying Bowling Ball.

Charlie made that bowling ball float all over his body and roll across his shoulders effortlessly!

Even balancing the bowling ball on his coat!

He also juggled so many things!

Come to think of it, I've never really mastered the art of juggling. 

I think I can only struggle at two tennis balls! Haha. Good job, Charlie! 

This stunt was the best one from Charlie!

He placed his vest and hat on the broomstick and balanced it on his forehead.. before dropping it all into the right places.

The moment Charlie dropped the broomstick, the hat automatically fell on his head and the vest on his body

Our emcee, Chipper Lowell, came back on stage to tickle our ribs and introduce the second act

One of dazzling dexterity, Nestor Hato, the card manipulation champ all the way from France! 

When the lights dimmed and his music began to play, something jolted me right outta my seat.

Out of the thousands of dubstep songs I have, my ringtone was chosen to play right on the stage by someone I don't even know!

How coincidental! 

As I am a hardcore dubstep fan, I took a double take at this guy in front of me

Which magician performs to dubstep anyway? NO ONE. No one but Nestor.

He was performing to Porter Robinson & Knife Party as well as Kairo Kingdom. 

Nestor shooting sparks from his fingers and creating explosions of flames from his palms 

I head-banged throughout his entire act while I watched him make cards fly everywhere like they had a life of their own.

The decks of cards swooshed out like a torrential flow from his fingers.. non-stop! 

I paid solid attention as he made cards vanish into silk cloth and confetti.

Such an excellent effect!  

There was just something about him that struck me. I didn't know what it was.

I felt an inexplicable connection with this stranger that night. Something that I've never felt before.

It was an epiphany. Like communication de pensees, thoughts spoken without saying a word. 

Wow. What was that?

I then observed him flicking cards into the air and straight into his mouth and pocket perfectly

Bien fait!! 

I felt my body moving progressively to the rhythm. It was crazy!

As he danced and performed his card tricks, I was dancing along with him in my seat LOL!

Flying cards!

Before we even noticed, he spun around and changed the colour of his t-shirt and hair.

Yup. From black to white. 

Voila! That was amazing!! 

Bonne Chance, Nestor! 

Keep up the brilliant act

He blew my mind. It wasn't just his act nor the music. But him, as a person

My instincts proved me right; our empathy was mutual. Needless to say, close friendship developed between us instantly after the show and we found ourselves having a lot in common! 

Not only is he talented & fantastic on stage, he is an amazing person & a wonderful friend to me as well 

No doubt, Nestor was my favorite act of the night 

The third act of the night was Christian Lindemann, all the way from Germany 

He is Europe's Best Pick-Pocket Artist. Everybody, hold on tight to your belongings! 

Christian picked Dennis from the crowd!

Haha! I loved how he played a little game with us about the

LITTLE YELLOW BAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL 

Christian was great and had such quick fingers too!

He managed to distract all of us and slowly but surely, pick-pocketing all of Dennis' belongings 

Look at Christian's right hand! That's one of Dennis' cellphones he took!

Dennis obviously was not aware that his items were being taken away from him one by one!

He relieved everything from Dennis. You name it, it's taken!

His iPhone, his Blackberry, his cellphone, his wallet, his belt, his credit cards.. even his underpants.

I remember shouting "UNDERPANTS!!!!" when Christian asked the crowd what we wanted him to steal next

Such a naughty girl I am! Mwahahhahahaa!  Sorry Dennis!

His signature tagline of "I LIKE………………………" made me laugh everytime!

He also stuck a Facebook thumbs up "LIKE" on his coat after his show LOL

Whilst up in Genting earlier this week, I got to know Christian personally as well. 

Apart from being great on stage, he's a really fun person, down-to-earth and such a nice guy too!

The forth act of the night was an adorable young boy, Tigran Petroysan.

One-half of the World's Youngest Manipulation Artists from Germany, give it up for Tigran!

I loved his little schoolboy look and the umbrella

So cute! Oh and, today is his birthday too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIGRAN! 

He performed a really deft act with ping pong balls which kept disappearing and reappearing all around his fingers

I love watching young talents.. a star in the making perhaps? 

Gogo Tigran!

When he ended his act, I gave a loud applause!

Much support for this young kid 

The fifth act of the night was his older brother, Sos Junior Petroysan!

Sos Junior, also hailing from Germany, is the other half of the World's Youngest Manipulation Artists

I found this 16 year old very talented for his age!

More and more and more cards spun around and defied gravity when they were tossed high up above!

He also made cards fly everywhere

I seriously wonder, where do they keep their cards? LOL

From the audience's point of view, card manipulators appear to have cards sprouting outta their hands everytime!

This reminds me of the Matrix!

Our bubbly emcee, Chipper Lowell came back on stage to tickle our ribs again.

He made an attempt to guess a card that the audience picked… and got it wrong. (But just wait!)

Chipper's volunteer helping to pass him more and more wooden blocks to balance on his CHIN

When he turned around, the crowd was cheering loudly!

He guessed the card right and there it was, in bold, black ink written at the back of this wooden blocks 

The sixth act of the night was none other than the World's Best Escape Artist, flown in all the way from Canada!

Was so nervous to watch Dean Gunnarson attempt a death-defying act

Dean explaining what he is going to do

He's going to be hand-cuffed, locked up and chained inside that tiny red tank.

In attempting this dangerous act, he would have to hold his breath for as long as he can escape from the shackles and breakthrough the enclosure.

After getting a volunteer from the crowd to inspect the chains, Dean was ready to be held captive

Good luck Dean!!! You can do it! 

We were asked to hold our breaths along with him.

Dramatic music then ensued. Spotlights and flashlights shot across the stage. 

After 2 minutes and 20 seconds.. he was still in there. OMG!

We were all at the edge of our seats already. 

Will Dean escape victoriously before he runs out of breath? 

And he did!!

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Though it was expected that he could escape, the nature of his act was so tense and frightening.

If it was me, I'd probably shiver in claustrophobia haha! That was terrific, Dean! YAY!

In those few days I stayed in Genting, Dean and I became friends too. He told me that he has been doing this for decades now! Plus, I also spotted his fingers, or lack thereof!

This daredevil lost a few of his fingers while doing his dangerous escape stunts throughout the years. 

Impressive, yet scary! 

The seventh act of the night were the Grand Illusionist duo from our brethren down south, Singapore!

Get ready to be wowed by JC Sum and Magic Babe Ning 

After Magic Babe Ning locked  & chain JC Sum into the glass enclosure…..

Guess what happened after 2 seconds?

Yup! They magically swapped places!

Their next performance included metal blades in a large metal box.

Again, they managed to swap places when there was clearly nothing and no one inside!

Ohmy.

Their final stunt was a winner.

After locking Magic Babe Ning into a small box (with her hands clearly visible!) guess where she reappeared?

Big swipes of flames 

Are we ready? P/S – You can still see Magic Babe Ning's hands from the box

JC Sum then sliced the box in half and pointed to the crowd 

And Magic Babe Ning appeared in the middle of the crowd!

Gosh! Did she just teleport there or something?

That was pretty cool and unbelievable, no doubt! 

Our eight and final act of the night was World's Best Quick Change Artists, Sos & Victoria Petroysan from Germany!

Watching quick change acts can be very entertaining and puzzling at the same time 

Now you see this outfit

Now you don't!

Gosh, looks like this woman doesn't need to take an hour to dress up or get ready whenever she wants to head out huh? 

 I can just envision her doing a quick change and ta-daaa! She's ready in 1 second LOL

What's next?

Sos performed a fiery act and immediate changed Victoria's clothes in a blink of an eye

And again!! What the….??? WOW.

They continued dancing and Victoria stepped inside a little portal-looking-thing and she changed again!

Next, she didn't step into any portal this time.

Sos placed a cloth around her and poof!

She flashed us this outfit!

So funky! The next outfit was also done in a split of a second

Victoria wasn't the only one that had her clothes changed, Sos has his outfit changed from black to white as well!

To save the best for last, Sos & Victoria made their final change of clothes and astonished us all.

She didn't walk into anything, nor had any cloth concealing her.

Sos threw a motherload of silver confetti around her…

And she appeared in a matching white wedding gown!

That was simply amazing. Hey, I wish I had those skills too. 

Then I'd probably only need less than 1 minute to get ready before I go out.

After everything was over, Chipper announced for the entire cast to come back to the stage one by one, for the finale.

A thunderous applause resonated from all corners of the theatre as they joined hands to take their final bow.

I was mesmerized by the entire 90 minutes of the show, and I'm pretty sure the entire audience felt the same!

Having wonderful acts from all over the world to perform for us in Genting right before our eyes? Priceless.

Tony Hassini, President & Founder of the International Magicians Society

was flown in as a special guest for the evening

Managed to get a photo with him! 

Two people who deserved their Merlin Award!

He presented two Merlin Awards for two very talented people, David Lai for Best Producer of the Year and Tigran Petroysan for World's Youngest Magician!

Yay! Congratulations to the both of you for the recognition of your hard work 

David on stage receiving his award

Thank you, David for a spell-binding production! Superstars of Magic 2 is like his little brainchild, his baby! 

You did a remarkable job, I must say!

My full support and love goes out to Superstars of Magic, always!

The night ended as quickly as it began.

I was still feeling enthralled by what I witnessed that very night. 

Tomorrow is the final show.

If you want to be dazzled just like I did,  make sure you BE THERE on Sunday night!

I had a fantastic time at Superstars of Magic 2.

Oh and guess what? I'm more than proud to announce that Superstars of Magic 3 is confirmed!

More details soon *wink* Stay tuned! 

Remember the ELEVATE : Feel the Difference party that rocked Penang 2 months back?

Blogpost – here.  Well, it has now made its way to the city! Check out Ipoh’s one here if you’re from the future.

At ELEVATE KL with my trusty plus one! 

As we were there pretty early, I took the chance to check out the place.

Photos photos photos!

It was held at the Skyrim-themed club, Black Magic KL

The usherettes making sure who has arrived and who hasn’t

Wow! ELEVATE’s fully digital stage backdrop

I remember the previous ELEVATE being very high-tech as well.

Swirls of electronic waves and other dramatism flashed when the main act took to the stage.

Having my second (already?) bottle of Carlsberg from the free-flow that night!

As some of you would know, I held a giveaway for ELEVATE passes on my Facebook page.

Congrats to my 4 winners!

Here’s two of my winners! Dylan and Ragu

(I don’t know where my other winners are LOL)

Before we knew it, the crowd began to pour in and the party heat was rising really quickly! 

Our charming emcee of the night Kylie Chapman welcomed us and introduced the first act of the night

She was aptly dressed in a royal shade of blue according to ELEVATE’s signature colours 

Rapper extraordinaires, Canadian hip-hop godfather Vandal and word-blaster Jin Hackman, hyped the crowd even further and got into a rap-battle showdown against each other! 

Vandal attacking it word by word at top speed!

Jin hacking at the battle not only in English, but rapping in Bahasa Malaysia as well!

They rendered me speechless with strings of words, requiring no pen & paper!

Everything. was. spontaneous.  I was amazed by their natural gift of the gab 

Vandal & Jin Hackman gave us such an awesome collaboration 

We had trouble hearing them at first, but as we began to concentrate, their lyrics were so funny!

Everyone was practically stupefied and entertained throughout their rap battle.

I actually miss old skool rap! And of course, Eminem 🙂

They then talked about beatboxing on stage and asked if anyone knew how to beatbox.

A dude from the crowd volunteered

And he amazed us all with his beatboxing and showmanship!

From old skool classic beatboxing beats to dubstep beats, this guy impressed us all 

It isn’t everyday a random person – who was actually good! – from the floor gets up on stage to perform with the main acts

They then rapped and beatboxed together! Such a spontaneous collaboration

Jin Hackman returned on stage and rapped with his female back-up rapper!

I do admit, I’ve heard so much about them but never gotten the chance to actually watch them perform & dish out torrential combative words back and forth, right before my very eyes 

Glad I did! Thank you ELEVATE 

I even had a photo taken with Vandal! 

While waiting for the next act, I had some party pictures taken with my friends.

What’s a party without company? Let the photos roll! 

Good times, good times!  It is pretty evident that we were enjoying ourselves a whole lot.

Good underground music, free flow of drinks & a good crowd 

MC Kylie Chapman returned on stage and elevated our party moods 

The next act of the night got me screaming and jumping frantically.

It was my favorite local dance crew, Elecoldxhot!! 

I’m totally diggin’ their hipster, street style and brightly coloured fashion sense!

Such quick and tight choreography!

Their dance routines, no doubt, incorporated lots of breakdance moves as well

Don’t stop! Keep breakin’ the floor, you bboy! 

One minute they were dressed so interestingly, and the next, their L.E.D dance gear illuminated the stage as the lights turned off.

They remind me of some kind of electrobots popping, locking & dropping it on stage! 

Those tight routines coupled with the shocking electro gear got us dancing along as well!

Oooooh and guess what?

I’ve got a photo with my favorite one from the crew! 

Say hi to Chris!

It was past midnight, but there were no signs of stopping ELEVATE from elevating our night even further!

We kept pushing the party energy higher and higher 

Photos! Photos! Photos! 

Our next – and final! – act of the night was none other than the sizzling hot DJ Mari Ferrari flowin in from Russia

I’ve looked up her photos and listened to her online, she really is gorgeous in real life too! 

She played an eclectic mix of trance, house and progressive big room sounds!

DJ Mari Ferrari shot the party to full swing!

She not only has a beautiful demeanour, but talents on the turn-table to boot!

Here’s another photo of her just because. *wink* 

I had a great time that Saturday night!

Theboyf and the boys seemed like they had heaps more fun than I do, they got so drunk and hyperactive by the end of the night. I’ve never seen them dance quite like that before LOLOLOLOL. 

Anyway, here’s a short video of the night!

(The footages of Vandal & Jin Hackman screwed up, to my dissapointment!) 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rKngsHZtEs&feature=player_embedded

ENJOY! 

Three cheers for ELEVATE!

Thank you, ELEVATE, for another good shimmy-down time with my party mates. Till the next one!

Click here and here for Penang and Ipoh’s ELEVATE events if you haven’t done so already.

If you haven't viewed my previous blogpost about the exceptionally epic Hennessy Artistry Penang 2012, I suggest you do *grins*

Jam-packed with photos and a narration of what happened, it's something you shouldn't EVER miss if you wanna know what went down at the party.

Enough fluff. Read it – here *clickety click*

For the seasoned Hennessy Artistry partygoers, you’ll know what to expect! 

And for first timers, you’re in for a real treat, as Hennessy never disappoints.

Yup. Believe it. Hennessy Artistry is back!

Fresh off the island waves of Penang, Hennessy Artistry is roaring ready to tear up the capital! 

The second instalment of 2012’s Global Art of Mixing Trilogy will be happening on the 8th September2012 on the 15th floor of KWC Kuala Lumpur.

Just a little peek at the interior of KWC KL @ Level 15 before Henessy's total revamp!

(Where is it & how to go there? It is located on Jalan Gelugor & Google maps link is http://goo.gl/wwLw)

This time round, Hennessy is more than prepared to host 3000 guests to a mix of world-class music and the trademark H-Artistry atmosphere!

Also, fellow EDM (electronic dance music) fans will revel in delight at the stellar line up Hennessy has to offer us next weekend.

From the interactive Hennessy 360 Panoramic Cam, to the plethora of drinks served on the night, you better be ready to turn up your party dial to the maximum level! I know I sure will 

What do you think of the line-up this time round?

Personally, I was over the moon when Hennessy revealed their headlining acts for the evening.

Don’t know them? Imma introduce them to you now :

International vocal powerhouse Eva Simons is no stranger to the fans of electronic dance music.

This Dutch songstress is best known for her recent collabo with EDM giant Afrojack in ‘Take Over Control’ that we all hear permeating every dance floor around the world.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fe4dk0Jtcw

Come on, you've GOT to know this! 

Eva has also rubbed shoulders with LMFAO, Will.I.Am, Kanye West & many others.

Okay, who's next? 

Jakarta’s cult-status Angger Dimas.

The young electro-house DJ has impacted party people beyond the borders of the Indonesian club scene. Due to his deft talents on the turntable, he went international very quickly 

This isn’t his first time in Malaysia, as I’ve personally saw him LIVE & raved to his intense set that,

I swear, has the ability to shoot every raver to the skies 

Okay, next up!!

*drumroll*

Shifting more to the next generation and local hipster scene, are KL’s rising electronic dance nu-breeds B.A.T.E (Brain and the Eye) duo who will be setting the pace of Hennessy Artistry KL 2012 with a mix of big room, disco, techno & electro 

Personally, I haven't heard much of their sets to shower infinite praises on them just yet, but one thing's for sure, if Hennessy picked them to perform at H-Artistry 2012, you know they're made of solid spunk! 

Last but not least is…….

The hard-hitting, edgy and wicked DJ duo aptly named the Bass Agents.

Familiar to many in the hard style, hard trance & hard dance sets, the duo comprising Mr. Nasty & GuruGuru are well-known for firing the energy levels through the roof and pushing way past the overload button 

Vicious, vigorous and very brutal, Mr.Nasty & GuruGuru’s tight basslines will compel you to relentless headbangs.

Are you excited yet? 

Entry is strictly by invitation only.

To score your invites, log on to Hennessy Malaysia's Facebook page to see how.

All I can say is, expect a supersonic bassline and a cosmic night as these artists take us on an energy-driven musical evening with one-night-only collaborations, complete with powerful vocals & lashings on the DJ deck as well as free-flow of the delightful Hennessy VSOP and its signature long drinks.

I’m ready. Let’s do this, party people.

To Hennessy!

Hello there my quaint little island, the blogpost is finally here! Sorry I took a while. 

I may be late, but I certainly would not let a party as big as this slip away from my blog line up.

Betcha do!  It's HENNESSY ARTISTRY PENANG 2012

The glorious Hennessy VSOP bottle & I, flanked by two lovely usherettes

This entry is a sequel to both my posts here and here

When I heard that the first of the Hennessy Artistry trilogy series of parties was set to rock Penang island, I was not only proud of my little island, but also excited that a party of such a scale was to be celebrated on the grounds I call home 

Arriving at the foyer. I was taught to make my own Hennessy cocktail! 

One of the usherettes (who happens to be a friend of mine) Jenny, showed me what to do

I was astonished to how Hennessy completely revamped Straits Quay Convention Center!

That very night itself, SQCC turned into a huge party arena hosting more than 2000 guests, complete with an all-new Hennessy Art of Mixing Zone, signature Hennessy VSOP long drinks and of course, the trademark Hennessy Artistry party atmosphere.

The classy lounge-foyer area for guests to sit, chat, drink and chill

before getting sloshed at the battlefield of a party zone 

Pam, Jessmine & I at the Hennessy lounge 

My homies and I catching up over a few drinks that we were taught to make 

Samantha & I

Guests could have their photo taken at a very interactive photo booth where several cameras placed all around the raised platform woulsimultaneously capture photos to achieve a 360 degree photo effect. 

The girls and I atop the panoramic Hennessy 360 camera platform!

Really cool photo sequence, if I do say so myself! 

Soon after, I made my way inside the party-zone

Spotted glasses and glasses of Hennessy on the counter all lined up in such a neat manner!

Got into my zone. The 'S' Zone also known as the VIP, bloggers & media zone

Our table was given a Hennessy VSOP bottle of our own with plenty of mixers to go around!

Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Ginger, Hennessy Soda & Hennessy Berry. Your pick? 🙂

Thank you Paul for a lovely photo! 

with the girls 

with the boys 

When I got in, the first act of the night was already warming up the party scene.

Spin master DJ Ramsey Westwood (a friend of mine!) began the hype by dropping his set of progressive house & electro 

Drop 'em sick beats like you always do, Rams!

Whoooop whoooop! 

It was no wonder he bagged champion at the ASTRO Hitz Spinmaster Season 2.

As the music kept pumping and dropping at all the right places, we guests fed off the energy and made it our own!

Emcees of the night from MTV VJ Rich & VJ Holly Grabarek kept us on our feet & welcomed the next act on stage

Here are some party pictures!

Same high school back then; at the same party right now! 

Collegemate Mikey and I 

BFF Joyce and I  We go a long way back!

The view from the back of the crowd

Before we knew it, the next act joined DJ Ramsey Westwood up on stage! 

As two is always better the one, both of them performed a stellar collabo act of beats and vocals!

Local songbird & 'One in a Million' winner Suki Low ripped the crowd apart with her powerful vocal chords

while DJ Ramsey spun David Guetta's Titanium feat. Sia

I am Titaaaaaaniiiiummmmm!!!!

She then continued with chart-topping popular hits from Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and even classic numbers by soul diva Whitney Houston! Suki hit all the notes – especially the high ones! – perfectly, it was mind-blowing.

She's on the edge of glory, you bet! 

A crew of dancers then joined her onstage and Suki also busted some dance moves in unison.

Such an electrifiying performance!

Her act stole the limelight for that moment and drew a heavy applause from the floor

We loved her and even sang along with her as she belted out the songs we knew of  

More party pictures?

We. are. Penang cha bohs! 

MORE Penang kias!

Yup, believe it or not we were all from the same primary & high school buildings playing tag & hopskotch in our school uniforms a decade ago

And now we're all dolled up at the same party listening to the same music & drinking the same drinks.

This is why I love parties. You not only get to meet new people but also rekindle with old/long-lost friends!

For that I'd like to thank Hennessy, for making this happen 

The third act of the night made their way upstage after Suki finished her show

It was none other than Asian Kings of the Mandopop scene – Lollipop F

The appearance of this dance quartet led to screaming female fans from all corners of the party to the utmost front as much their zone-barricades could allow them.

Another one-night-only collaboration was born! 

DJ Ramsey X Lollipop F

With their very tight choreography, they certainly stole the show!

They even incorporated stunts, breakdancing & other daredevil acts too!

I was so impressed and held my breath for fear that he was going to topple over! *gasp*

He defied gravity as he went lower and lower and lower OMG

Lead singer of Lollipop F – Owodog belting out their popular songs

Coming from someone who doesn't listen to chinese songs at all, I was actually in awe at how energetic, charming and appealing their performance were. Good vocals, good looks, good dance routines, good stunts, good body unique fashion style – name it, and they have it all 

No wonder many girls were hyperventilating throughout their show 

More party pictures!

Ash and I 

Vivian & I 

Perk & I 

Alex & I 

Take one!

Take two!

The emcees came back onstage to have a toast with us – TO HENNESSY VSOP! 

Soon after, they welcomed the next act.

Guess who the next act of the night will be?

It's the grammy-award nominated British Trance/Progressive music producer/DJ….

*drumroll* Andy Moor!

His set and remixes sounded amazing and even more so, reverberating from the state-of-the-art sound system!

He shot the crowd to a sonic mayhem

You can bet your bottom dollar I went absolutely beserk headbanging & jumping around during his set

Photos never lie, huh? 

Andy had the beat to move our feet & the bass to melt our face! 

Make way for more party pictures!

Can't get enough of Penang peeps yet?

Here's more Penang peeps for you 

A party would never be complete without both my very special girl friends with me 

For long time readers, you would already recognize them from all the photos:

Bestie Joyce!

Bestie Pam!

The night was still young, but it was plain to see that the thousands of partygoers wanted more.

We were more than ready to get our groove on to the final act of the night – Ernest C!

This cutting-edge house and electro maestro made us jump to our feet again!

He even dropped those wicked 

dubstep booms from Skrillex and Porter Robinson!

Final batch of party pictures!

Thank you Hennessy Malaysia for an epic one-night-only weekend and an amazing time!

Bringing a stellar line-up for us, both international & local, serving us free-flow of delicious Hennessy shots & cocktails and a fun-loving, marvellous party experience, we owe it all to you. Looking forward to more of Hennessy Artistry!
