A wicked trance night with Cosmic Gate live in Malaysia! | Wake Your Mind Asia Tour 2013 | Club Neverland KL

June 8, 2013 by thejessicat

 

 

It was yet another wicked night of uplifting and progressive trance anthems setting the mosh-pit on fire.

Despite being a rather wet night, it proved no wet blanket for ravers and EDM party punters to continue storming ahead to Club Neverland for a cosmic blast to kick-off their weekend.

 

It certainly didn't stop me from making my way there, that's for sure.

Thank you, Wicked Entertainment, for the invitation! heart

 

With my other half, all ready for a great party ahead!

 

Destination: Club Neverland! devil

 

Upon entering its premises, I spotted pretty cool rave gear being sold by Rave Kandy!

 

(((STYLESHOT)))

Jessicat wears: Toga top by SUB | Bandage skirt by Forever 21 |

Accessories by Diva | Tote bag by Prada | Peep-toe booties by NOSE

 

As I arrived rather early, I got to catch the opening acts for the night.

Our very own rising nu-breeds, B.A.T.E (Brains and the Eye) as well as Captain Ed (C.Ed) in action. 

 

 

Our opening acts did a great job in turning the temperature up as early as 10pm.

With their booming sounds of disco, techno, big room and electro, they blasted various tracks from the likes of W&W, Hardwell, Zedd and more!

 

Ethan Curzon of B.A.T.E doing this thing

 

B.A.T.E and Captain Ed set the mood amazingly well!

 

More and more people began to fill the dance floor as the night unfolded.

I took a step out for a breather and managed to take some photos with my buddies. heart

 

Us at the entrance, where all the activities and games were ongoing.

We didn't manage to win ourselves anything though… boo!

 

Kim and I at the entrance 

 

We went inside and back upstairs at the VIP deck again and grabbed another round of drinks.

 

With more of my buddies Ryan and Sam! heart

 

Anytime now. Here we are,waiting for Cosmic Gate's set. laugh

 

 

At 1am sharp, it was time to turn our party dial a notch higher.

Our superstars of the night, Cosmic Gate took over the decks in style and rocket-launched us to euphoria.

 

Say hello to DJ Bossi and Nic Chagall heart

 

The dance floor was packed as ever.

Even upstairs, where I was, was full house! surprise

 

These German duos really know how to kick a party into immeasurable levels,

especially when they played 'Be Your Sound'.

 

The energy was infectious and kept building like there was no tomorrow!

 

Our World  #39 Top DJ-Producers definitely made sure we had fun cool

 

Pretty sure everyone present would agree!

 

 

Jun 8, 2013 | A lil snippet of my fave song 'Be Your Sound' from @realCosmicGate live at #ClubNeverland last night! ❤ by imthejessicat on Keek.com

 

Nic driving the crowd wild

 

When their set hit a halfway mark at a little past 2AM, a loud bang was heard followed by a burst of confetti filling the air with streams of shiny paper and colourful bits. laugh 

It was raining with colours and sparkles for a good one minute! 

 

A thunderous applause and wolf-whistles were heard from the mosh-pit!

 

The music was not only superb, but the lighting and sound system were flawless! yes

 

I absolutely loved their remix of Above & Beyond's 'Thing Called Love' and Hardwell's 'Spaceman'.

It was brilliant! yes

 

 

Jun 7, 2013 | Awesome remix by @RealCosmicGate of #Hardwell's 'Spaceman' and Above & Beyond's 'Thing called Love'! ❤ Rave on! by imthejessicat on Keek.com

 

 

 

Fist-pumping all night long!

 

We left a little before 3AM to avoid the massive lockdown at the carpark.

But as we came out, we saw that here were very efficient RELA cops (for my non-Malaysian readers, these are paramilitary civil volunteer cops!) there to assist with the traffic, ensuring that partygoers were able to leave the premises without much delay. yes

 

Tonight's entertainment was brought to you by Wicked Entertainment and Club Neverland KL.

Thank you for giving us an great  time heart

 

It was progressively hard-hitting, as it was vocally serenading.

I felt like I was taken to different spheres of the universe! Here's a short video I made of the night. cool Enjoy!

 

Track ID: Cosmic Gate – 'Be Your Sound'

 

Leaving the club at a little before 3AM

 

I could still feel Cosmic Gate's bass-jacking, heart-stopping tracks on my way back

 

It was indeed, a night to remember.

Future Music Festival Asia 2013 returns on an epic scale! Pre-party + First line-up of artistes!

January 19, 2013 by thejessicat

 

 

 

It could've passed off as a regular Wednesday night for anyone, but no… not when Future Music Festival Asia (FMFA) 2013 is concerned.

Last Wednesday night brought down the house with FMFA 2013's first pre-party, comprising a solid line-up whose music and wicked bass resonated the walls of The Butter Factory, KL!

 

Brought along the other half to enjoy the night with me

 

Courtesy of Livescape Asia, I was pleased to be invited to the Future Music Festival 2013's first pre-party of the year; it's never too early to hype yourself up!

Not even a weekday night could stop me from saying heck yeah, let's do this. 

 

The peeps behind FMFA 2013 even brought down AN21 and Max Vangeli to spin tonight!

 

When I arrived, what caught my attention wasn't only the booming sounds by DJ Eva T, but it was also the platoon of face-painted partyrockers dancing right in the middle of the dance floor!

 

They were congregating just beneath the stage to showcase a pretty epic dance-off amongst each other. 

 

A few of them even beckoned me to join! I totally would have, but as I was carrying my DSLR and few lenses on me, I had to decline. Bummer! 

Wouldn't wanna risk dropping my gadgets or losing them in the crowd, would I?

 

DJ Eva T – dubbed Malaysia's Electronic Dance Music Queen

 

Watching her tonight and recalling my previous time watching her spin at Hennessy Artistry Halo, she definitely lived up to her title!

Her set was a brilliant fusion of the finest mash-up of electronic dance tracks coupled with with the upbeat & contemporary sounds of electro house.

 

Watching them dance with their uniquely-painted faces would certainly make anyone do a double take!

 

Battling it down with some breakdancing, popping, shuffling, locking and dropping!

 

 

My view from the VIP deck upstairs

 

Despite being on the upper deck, I could already feel the dance floor burning up. Good job, guys!

Cooled myself down with the free-flow of Asahi beer after raving along with them

 

 *hic*

 

The next artiste on the line up was none other than fast-rising nu-breeds, B.A.T.E.

 

Duo Wai Hong & Ethan heating up the dance floor even more!

 

I've also watched them during the Heineken Progressive Party in Penang and during the final instalment of Hennessy Artistry late last year and I'm loving what I'm hearing so far.

Being relatively new in the DJ scene did not stop them from being a popular favourite already!

 

 

Turning up the volume with their set of disco, techno, big room and electro tracks tonight.

The face-painted party rockers took to the stage and boogied something that reminded me of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' music video.

 

Don't stop, take it higher!

 

On the upper deck, the party was just as crazy, if not crazier! 

We were all enjoying the music over the free-flow and finest selection of drinks

 

Bottles and bottles of Moet & Chandon champagne were being popped at almost every table

 

Time for the few party photos I snapped with my friends tonight!

 

With Jo, Konzy and Leng Yein 

 

Kev and I

 

Konzy and I (yeah I know my face is red already, the Asian flush LOL)

 

Leng Yein and I

 

We were projected on the walls of the party too! 

 

Escalating the party to the skies were the main acts of the night, duo AN21 and Max Vangeli.

 

 

Their big sounds got the party headbanging with influences of progressive house, electro house and tech house beats, among other EDM sub-genres.

 

It was fun watching the two best friends play LIVE before me! 

 

 

You must be wondering… why does AN21 look familiar?

Doesn't he resemble Steve Angello (of Swedish House Mafia) a little?

 

Well, that's because AN21 is Steve Angello's brother! 

 

The party went on all night till the wee hours of the morning

It's not everyday you get to watch AN21 and Max Vangeli spin ya'know!

 

 

Tonight's pre-party sure as hell got me all fired up for Future Music Festival Asia 2013.

Two days back-to-back of the most epic Asian instalment of an international music festival yet!

 

Are you going?

I couldn't hear what you just said, but I'm sure it's a YES

 

I can't wait to relive the party again… last year's Future Music Festival Asia 2012 was a blast.

A grand charity ball & gala dinner night at ‘A Musical Evening for the Children’ by A Cut Above!

December 21, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

“Charity . . . is the opium of the privileged.” ― Chinua Achebe, Anthills of the Savannah.

 

Tonight certainly made that old adage crystal clear, as A Cut Above Group of Salons was set to deliver a night of love, music and kindness in its finest grandeur.

I was honoured to be invited to this philanthropic celebration, known as 'A Musical Evening for the Children' in Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa's Grand Ballroom.

 

My look tonight is influenced by the grace of Greek goddesses.

 

I was aiming for purity, grace and elegance and attended the evening donning white and gold

Here's what I wore to the event:

 

Accessories in gold & the white sequinned toga dress is from a boutique in Melbourne, Australia

 

I arrived the venue and was already amazed by the first thing I saw; the decorations of the building!

 

All set for an ethereal night ahead!

 

Upon entering the Grand Ballroom

 

The moment I arrived, Winnie dearest, the Chief Creative Director & Founder of A Cut Above had just begun giving her welcoming speech.

Great! Just in time :)

 

Winnie Loo addressing all her guests

 

She spoke of her aims of this ball & ultimately wanted us to enjoy our evening with her.

Just by listening to her speak, I knew she had high hopes for tonight and I could also forsee that it will be a successful evening; leaving us with beautiful memories and warmth in our hearts.

 

I was ushered to my table and took my seat

 

The celebrity emcees of the evening – Chui Leng and Baki Zainal

 

He had a really epic hairdo!

It was all shaved around the sides but had some sort of dreadlocks tied up in a long ponytail.

 

Before gala began, there was a cheque presentation to the Malaysian Children's Aid Society (MACAS)

As expected, the contributions, donations & sales from the charity was a success! 

 

If you can't see from the mock cheque above, the amount was an impressive figure of RM312,000!

 

That's an amazing figure, don't you think? But that's not all.

An auction for an exquisite piece of jewellery was held at the end of the gala! More on that shortly!

 

The main VVIP table

 

The very first entertainment of the night was a graceful performance of ballet dancing!

The children were decked in adorable animal outfits dancing in a nimble, yet sensual & languid motion

 

Moving to the rhythm 

 

These lovely children were from Karen Barnes Dance Studio, who danced to 'Symphony of the Forests'

Their moves were smooth, synchronized and executed in perfect harmony. Well done, kids! 

 

Next up, was our favorite nine year old songbird Crystal Lee!

 

She belted out several renditions of popular songs, ranging from the oldies/classics to the contemporary.

It was wonderful to see her wide range of vocals at such a tender age! 

 

This little songbird wowed us all with her confidence and melodious voice.

She actually looked really tiny singing her solos all alone on the huge stage!

 

See what I mean? :P

 

But she wasn't going to be alone any longer.

Her mentor, violinist Dennis Lau joined her onstage and performed an incredible duet with his prodigy!

 

They brought down the house with a mind-blowing version of Jessie J's Price Tag!

 

I couldn't help but to bop my head to the rhythm & sing along with them too!

 

A photo with Dennis and Crystal 

 

A stark contrast of musical entertainment soon followed.

Heavy bass filled the air! All produced not by the speakers or the sound systems of the event, but by the mere sounds coming from one's throat. 

 

 

I'm sure you've heard of beatboxing 

Koujee the beatboxer amazed the crowd with his remarkable and rather rare vocal talent.

 

Koujee beatboxing!

 

He then burst into a duet with Dennis Lau who once again, made his appearance on stage.

Their breathtaking combination of both vocals and instrumental talent got the crowd roaring for more! It was a very peculiar medley of beatboxing & electric violins but it worked so well! 

 

Koujee & Dennis Lau performing a duet

 

Among the tunes I managed to catch were Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling, Benni Benassi's Satisfaction, PSY's Gangnam Style and several more others all mashed up together in a seamless duet.

They even got down from the stage towards the crowd and personally entertained some of the main tables

 

We were next serenaded by Enfinity Academy's 14 student choir group of all ages!

 

After their heart-rending choir, the Glitterama Ladies Charity Group then stole the limelight.

They were dressed to the nines in embellished and flamboyant ball gowns with decollete necklines! 

 

The 24 beautiful ladies stood before us, ready to sing their hearts out in unison

 

Winnie was part of it too! I loved her ravishing mustard-yellow ruffled and bowed ball gown

 

It reminded me of Belle from Beauty and the Beast

 

These stunning ladies dazzled with us with not only their alluring beauty, but also their diversely distinct vocals in belting out various alto and baritone/soprano notes 

 

Singing with passion

 

We were captivated by their renditions of 'Phantom of the Opera' and a Whitney Houston medley of 'Greatest Love of All', 'Saving All My Love for You' and 'I Will Always Love You'. 

 

Award winning ballroom-dancers, Cecilia Yong & Alfred Choo complemented the Phantom of the Opera moment

 

It was plain to see that all the guests of the evening were having a ball of a time. 

What could be better than an exclusive gala of friends, food, music all in the name of good faith?

 

Sipping on my 3rd pint of Kronenbourg amidst all the chattering and catching up 

 

The next two notable singers to steal the show and wow us with their impressive voices were Vic Teo and Dina Nadzir of Malaysian Idol (Season 1) fame.

 

He had a very Michael Buble-cum-Il Divo vibe about him when he sings!

 

His deep and velvety voice worked the soul, swing and jazz numbers in perfect harmony

 

Dina performed a very cheeky Malay classic song & vocal pop

She executed it so well, befitting her bubbly personality!

 

I would know! As I religiously followed Malaysian Idol and loved her voice and demeanour since 2004

 

I was getting even more and more captivated by the line-up of entertainment for the night. 

It was such a luxurious and sophisticated ball of magnificent talents! 

 

Dama Orchestra soprano Rachel Tan performing the symphonic 'Think of Me' and a classical 'Time to Say Goodbye'

 

Just when you thought the next act would be another fine vocalist, the night surprised us with a twist

Next up, was a special appearance by the 16 finalists of the Miss Universe Malaysia  2013 pageant.

 

They strutted down the runway in a catwalk featuring the elegant, chic and feminine fashion designs of Bill Keith's latest collection. 

 

Sashaying down the stage

 

The winner of the Miss Universe Malaysia 2013 was Carey Ng (left) by the way!

 

She will be representing Malaysia in the Miss Universe pageant next year to compete with other winners from other 89 countries. All the best, and make us proud, girl! 

 

A bright red expression

 

The next highlight of the evening was a one-of-a-kind, show-stopping hair & fashion show.

Not even a slight hint of exaggeration! See it for yourself 

 

I held my breath when they walked precariously on those killer sky-high heels!

The eccentric hairdos I saw left me shell-shocked. They were very unconventional and was certainly a bold prophesy of future fashion conventions and standards. 

This could very well set the bar! 

 

 

This avant garde fashion showcase left me feeling like I was in some alter-universe of a galactic fantasy.

It was bold, and many never-seen-before gender-bending styles were brought to life.

 

The MCs of the evening then announced the results of the silent auction

 

Throughout the dinner course, a silent auction of an 18K Gold South Sea Pearl Necklace Set With Diamonds from Flower Diamond were being bid for. 

I don't have the exact photograph of the resplendent pearl neckpiece in question, but it looks similar to this

 

The final call of RM34,800 by Dato’ AK Nathan won the bid, 

contributing another immense amount of money to the proceeds!

 

He was personally called up on stage by Winnie as she publicly acknowledged his kind, colossal contribution

Winnie's & MACAS' gratitude towards him was expressed with a warm bear hug 

 

Spread the love!

 

Here are some photos of the night with friends and associates :)

We had a superb time catching up over dinner and the stellar entertainment!

 

Edmund and I 

 

Ben and I 

 

Leo and I 

 

Gim Ean and I 

 

Joshua and I 

 

Leo, Casey and I 

 

A night of music, talents and merriment steeped in love, kindness and compassion, was all what I had expected from A Cut Above's 'A Musical Evening for the Children' charity ball & gala dinner that night.

And true to its aims, the night was, hands down, certainly a memorable one. 

 

Here's a short video I made of the night! Watch it :D

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ7XihjSwnQ

Enjoy!

 

“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” 

― Mother Teresa

 

Winnie dearest and I   Doesn't she look stunning?! :D

(She's wearing the same pearl necklace auctioned for RM30K+ earlier)

 

I'm so glad all her hard work & efforts with her team was well-worth every sweat & toil for the past few months in planning, coordinating and executing a spectacular night for us all to commemorate 

Tonight was elaborately celebrated, but its sole aim was simple, charitable and remained truest to the heart.

 

Congratulations to the A Cut Above Group for raising RM346,800 in total,

instantly catapulting this charity gala ball to greater success!

ELEVATE Ipoh! The finale rocks Perak’s brand new hotspot – Sensation of Sound (SOS)

December 4, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

When a party is set to hit a small town you spent your childhood in, you know it will only spell a whole new experience.

I accepted the invitation with full anticipation when Ipoh, Perak was the chosen destination of ELEVATE’s finale of its nation-wide series of events.

 

My plus one & I 

It’s the last ELEVATE party of the year – already?

Throughout the year, partygoers from all over the country didn’t need to travel all the way to KL city to partyrock the night away. ELEVATE brought the party to the revellers instead.

 

 

I’ve personally attended a couple of ELEVATE events – ELEVATE Penang & ELEVATE KL.

Two out of the total number of six parties which was also held in Malacca, Kuantan, Johor Bahru, Kuching… and tonight, it’s time for ELEVATE Ipoh to wrap it all up with a fantastic closure 

The latest dance club in Ipoh was the chosen partyzone

Growing up in this little quaint state, one would quite naturally assume that I know everything there is to know about it.

Before you request I point you in the right direction of Ipoh’s best clubbing scene… Sorry to break it to you, I can’t LOL. It is rather surprising (even to me!) that I’ve never once partied within the grounds of Ipoh’s townscape before.

 

You can’t ever miss the neon prism-like hotspot that is

Sensation of Sound (SOS) located along Jalan Raja Ekram!

 

We arrived in all shades of blue, adhering to ELEVATE’s colour theme.

The venue was already packed with guests as early as 9.30pm! Hmm.. that’s something vastly different from the KL club scene where partygoers would only begin to flock the venue just before midnight.


Soaking in everything Ipoh’s partyscene has to offer 

To warm-up the party before it set off, we were first entertained by SOS’s very own in-house entertainment.

 

Their DJ was spinning us electronic & RnB tunes

And their nine-piece Filipino live band

 

They belted various renditions of popular songs ranging from the classics, alternative rock, rap, to the latest chart-topping pop hits.  

We enjoyed the free-flow of Carlsberg for the night. There was plenty to go around! 

 

Us with some local Ipoh friends!

Girls decked in blue & our boys in grey

The other half & I 

Chillin’ on one of the many comfy, velvety red lounge seats in SOS!

 

Suddenly, the lights dimmed and we were shrouded in darkness 

The music took us by storm and local dance crew Elecoldxhot, fully clad in robotic LED gear appeared before us!

 

They worked their tight & well-synchronized routines on stage

 

Some of them were breakdancing, while others were shuffling, popping & locking!

They ended their first performance bearing ELEVATE’s logo in a creative formation of their arms!

After a short interval, the next performance gave us something to jump right outta our seats to dance and sing along with.

Any guesses? There was no surprise when the band belted out the ever-contagious, annoyingly amusing song of the year, Gangnam Style! :D:D

 

The lead singer was even dressed to mimic Psy!

 

Heeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy! Sexy lady!

All of us, myself included, went on a frenzy and galloped along to the rhythmic horse-riding moves that made the song hilariously popular in the first place.

It was certainly a sight to see! Partygoers, both young and old were seen doing the exact same dance moves. Gangnam Style is no doubt, a phenomenon that is here to stay! 

 

Elecoldxhot joined the fun and gangnam-styled on stage too

We had so much fun! That certainly cranked up the mood of the party.

Really, now… what’s a party without Gangnam Style nowadays, huh? ;)

 

Just being silly 

 

More party pictures ensued. It was lovely catching up with familiar faces that night!

 

 

Elecoldxhot took to the stage again – this time, in a different apparel.

They were donning their signature vibrant & colourful streetwear this time 

 

How smooth can these boys move? 

Sparks lit up the stage and fizzled for a good few minutes

Their closing dance was certainly a bang!

Confetti burst out in the open and engulfed the dance floor with shimmery tinsels of blue and silver.

Some of the shiny paper even landed on our faces and got into our glasses of beer, from where we were standing!  No matter, all in the name of good fun! 

 

We had to fetch ourselves new drinks though, just before the free-flow ended at midnight.

 

DJ Yasmin raises the temperature!

We needn’t have to wait long before our final act stole the limelight & took full control of the night.

It was great to have this petite beauty hailing all the way from Jakarta, Indonesia, right here with us!

 

Tonight, she not only played uplifting trance beats but also house, techno and dubstep as well

Such a paparazzi shot, no? :P:P

 

The party kept going for what felt like all night long! However, all good things must come to an end.

ELEVATE officially ended when the doors swung open to the public just after midnight, but this can only mean the more the merrier!

As expected, the venue got even more packed with people than it already is, all in the name of a hectic, buzzing Saturday night.

 

Thank you, once again, ELEVATE, for having me at your train of parties throughout Malaysia!
