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.

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.

Do you know which party I'm talking about?

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! 

Did you know that the next instalment of Hennessy Artistry series of trilogy parties is underway?

Yup, mark your calenders for next Saturday, 8th August 2012! 

More info in the next blogpost 

What delightful news! I can't wait for tomorrow night so I can party in style already.

The well-known glamorous and exclusive series of parties – Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge, is back with a distinctively British edge this time round.

Taken at last year's Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge Penang

I found it a pretty smart idea to hold a British-themed party in Penang. After all, Penang was once occupied and owned by the British in the late 18th century 🙂

It also coincides with the hype and excitement of the London Olympics 2012.

I was pleased to receive an invitation from the Striding Man to this elite, invite-only VIP race party in Penang Island.

Whee! I will be flying to Penang tomorrow afternoon on an all-expense paid trip to attend one of the most glamorous events of British motor racing this year 

Photo taken late last year at Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge Brazil

Johnnie Walker, the award-winning World’s No.1 Scotch whisky and global partner of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes™ Formula 1™ team since 2005 will be celebrating their “home” race in Silverstone, Great Britain while commemorating Penang’s rich historical heritage with the British.

Oh, and guess where exactly it's going to be held?

The Black Circuit Lounge party will be held in the most historical race course in the country – Penang Turf Club, which was built by the British themselves!

The event will also feature a number of British-skewed highlights, from iconic and instantly recognisable British decor and even tea-inspired whiskey cocktails to debut at the returning Black Flavour Lab mixology bar.

Hmmm… will we be seeing red telephone booths, London guards & horses? 😀 😀 

In keeping with the British theme, the JOHNNIE WALKER® Black Circuit Lounge will feature rising star and headliner Benji Boko from the UK to raise the temperature at the party with a decidedly British-inspired set list.

He will be playing alongside a few other acts, namely DJ Direct (USA), DJ RayRay (Taiwan) & homegirl DJ Geri!

The hottest race party in Malaysia will be welcoming the presence of motorsport royalty & two-time Formula 1™ World Champion Mika Häkkinen! 

This hunky racing champ is also Johnnie Walker's responsible drinking ambassador 🙂

Hmm.. the party is tomorrow and I haven't thought about what I'm going to wear yet.

I was thinking… something glamorous with a hint of British inspired fashion! You'll see.

Ready for a ride of your lifetime?  Just you wait for this weekend..

Keep Calm and……Keep Walking!

The world's #1 international premium beer now has a new facelift!

To commemorate their new iconic bottle design, Heineken decided to throw an epic new bottle launch party and fly world-reknown Dutch DJ/Producer Ferry Corsten down to Malaysia to shoot their party to the skies even further.

Being an avid fan of Ferry Corsten & a frequent raver, Heineken's invitation to this party

just made my mid-week more awesome then ever!

After registering my attendance & getting the stamp on my wrist, it was time to go inside the party scene

I was all set to rave to the progressive trance beats and bombs of Ferry Corsten with my mates.

What could be better than raving with ice-cold Heineken to give you that boost of rejuvenation you need?

The moment I stepped inside, I caught sight of the gorgeous new Heineken bottles in a glass enclosure.

Such a beautiful, sparkly display! 

Heineken's new iconic bottle design

I wrote all about it here if you wanna know more! 🙂

My party-mates for the night! 

By the time we stepped inside, the party was already in full-swing.

The music was resonating everywhere, the lights were bouncing back and forth & the crowd was pumping!

Partying to the opening acts of the night

None other than local DJ duo DJ Blink & DJ Xu of LapSap fame!

Sipping on my ice-cold beer while LapSap turns up the volume!

It was a delightful treat for all the guests tonight as the Heineken came in torrents of a never-ending flow!

Everybody loves Heineken! 

Some party piccies of my buddies and I at the Heineken Progressive Tour.

Let the happy faces of the partygoers roll 

Soon after, our MC of the night –  MTV VJ Utt, welcomed us all again and gave a toast to Heineken!

HIP HIP.. HOORAY! To a successful bottle launch party! 

Cheers! Let's clink our bottles & savour the goodness

We were then shown a short introductory video clip on Heineken's New Bottle.

I was enticed. It was really well done!

It was a lovely insight on the new Heineken iconic bottle design.

After the video showcase, it was time for the main act of the night 

Sparks from the fireworks broke through the air and guess who finally made his appearance?

Ferry Corsten!! 

Specially flown down to spin for us at Heineken's party,

Ferry Corsten's 2 hour set was roaring to go!

The entire party scene transmorphed into a massive indoor rave party in a flash!

It was insane. Totally reminded me of how good Ferry was!

The last time I partied with him was at the christmas party in Zouk!

Podium dancers then appeared with their rather flashy, neon outfits

and entertained us with their eclectic moves

Here's a close-up on the dancers! Epic costume, ey? 

We be getting our kicks on to the lights of Electronic Dance Music! 

While we were raving close to the stage, the security guards & bouncers kept ushering us further away from the stage and shoo-ing us to retreat.

We thought they were just being anal and a bunch of party-poopers but we were so wrong!

Giant spurts of fire burst out from both sides of the stage periodically

No wonder we were being shoo-ed away!

They just didn't want us to get charred by the immense flames!

Safety first! Why, thank you so much for making sure us guests weren't prone to danger 

Okay, back to the party!

Ferry was as good as ever that night. 

He played his well-known tracks such as Punk, Radio Crash, Sweet Sorrow, We Belong, Into the Dark, Brute as well as remixes of other DJ/Producers tracks such as Tiesto, Marcus Schulz, Swedish House Mafia, Avicii and many more!

We went absolutely mad headbanging and shuffling to his tracks 

Stopping for a photo!

Taking a short break!

Draining our bottles of Heineken was a perfect way to cool down before raving again 

Indeed. 

Ferry continued escalating the party momentum to infinity and beyond! 

Towards the end, confetti burst out everywhere

It was truly an event full of jubilation, celebration and merriment

Congratulations on your spanking new iconic bottle again, Heineken!

Thank you, I had a fantastic time being a part of your celebration tonight 

If there’s no reason for me to visit my lovely island, I will find every reason to.

Fortunately, ELEVATE hit the shores of Penang last fortnight and extended me an invitation to be part of the happenings at Penang International Sports Arena (PISA) for a night of mingling, music and mayhem!

Headed back to the island to attend ELEVATE!

Before I begin, I would like to congratulate the winners for my contest once again.

Thanks for participating, everyone! ‘Till the next giveaway! 😀

Hope all 5 of you enjoyed yourselves! 

I arrived at the party scene with both my plus-twos as early as 9pm.

As VIP guests, we were ushered to the front of the extremely long queue.  Thank you, ELEVATE!

Entering the venue

Cool set up at the podium! 

Upon reaching the arena, it was great to have met and reunited with so many familiar faces – the party hasn’t even started yet!

Then again, it IS Penang Island after all, where everyone knows everyone

One of the 1st few things that caught my eye was a green screen where guests could have their photos taken with an image of your choice photo-imposed into the background.

Here’s another photo booth whereby guests could take photos and upload them directly onto Facebook!

LOL yeah, that’s me trying to take a photo of the photobooth taking a photo of me.

PHOTOCEPTION!

The result

Before the 1st act of the night was set to hit the stage, I scoured the arena and mingled about with some friends over free-flow of Carlsberg and scotch whiskey. 

Some photos! 

Usherettes were also seen walking around the arena inviting guests to play some interactive iPad games where we could win ourselves pretty cool prizes!

I had fun blasting green fireballs at the usherettes and…. I won myself a lighter that emit green flames when flicked! 

Before we knew it, the opening act had begun after the MC’s warm welcome!

We had the pleasure of having Korean born DJ Siera Lee, who is now based in Sydney, to spin for us tonight.

She played a good mash-up of R&B, popular pop hits and Electronic Dance Music.

We had fun dancing to her tracks!

Next up was the Mocha Girls, a dance group comprising 5 sizzling hot ladies from The Philippines

They were excellent in their energetic dance routines & sang very well too!

Totally reminded me of The Pussycat Dolls with their similar demeanour and style 

Even the lead singer, Mocha, resembled Nicole Sherzinger somehow!

They were not only energetic, they were extremely flexible!

We were thoroughly entertained, especially the male guests methinks 

ELEVATE : FEEL THE DIFFERENCE

Continued mingling with my fellow partyhats! 

Here are some more photos 😀

And the party doesn’t stop! 

Everyone were all pumped up to watch the final 2 acts for the night 😀

Guess who was on the dance floor partying with us as well?

DJ Siera Lee! 😀

Group photo! 😀

Thank you for tonight, Don! 

After a very elaborate entrance and a buzzing digital lightplay show on the panoramic screens, the walls of the staged spun 360 degrees and DJ Hiloco aka Nerodoll appeared before our very eyes! 😀

On to the decks!

A brilliant collaboration soon ensued.

8TV’s Showdown 2011 champions with a pretty epic group name – Elecoldxhot, performed a perfectly tight, synchronized and fascinating dance routine while DJ Hiloco spun her set.

Dressed smartly in their funky streetwear, they burst out and set fire to the stage

Turn up the heat, boys!

With their crazy popping, locking, breakdancing, shuffling and so many more dances,

it was no wonder they walked away as winners from Showdown 2011!

I was busy bobbing in unison as well!

Very awestruck, I was. Loved it!  They’ve got so much swag

DJ Hiloco

After their mind-blowing performance, DJ Hiloco continued her set and raised the temperature even higher.

Her eclectic set of Electronic Dance Music comprising mainly trance, progressive house, techno, dubstep, brostep, electro and big room, made me want to never leave the arena! 

She was fabulous!

After an exciting time out at a energy-driven party, I was all drained from the night.

Penang certainly never fails to bring me excitement and fun.. apart from the food of course 😛

Another Saturday night well spent!
