Raving to Shogun and B.T at Global Sound System! | Music Conference Asia 2013 @ Sepang

May 18, 2013 by thejessicat
 

That Saturday was a superbly busy one for me!

Thanks to Global Sound Masters, I found myself speeding down the highway to attend Global Sound System all the way in Sepang International Circuit, right after another event (more about that later).

 

Safely arrived at Global Sound System in Sepang.

Thank you Nelson, for getting us there safely! heart

 

This what what I saw from the afar as I was entering the party zone. Wait for me!

 

Managed to snap a quick photo and immediately ran to the front to be part of the rave!

I was so upset that I missed the earlier acts, as I arrived rather late. frown 

 

Dahla tu, sampai lambat sangat! crying

Was looking forward to watch them spin so much. This was what I missed:

 

Mr. Nasty & GuruGuru

 

Judge Jules

 

Felix Da Housecat

 

Alex Kenji

 

Fortunately, I managed to catch two of my favorites, Shogun and B.T perform alongside the host of the night, MC Stretch. laughlaugh

With these powerhouses, I have no doubts that the remaining hours I have left of the night will be blast!

 

It was a hive of activity and a psychedelic dance arena in there!

 

The Global Sound System music festival was deemed a success with big support and attendance coming from both true blue music enthusiasts and party goers alike.

You know how we electronic dance music party punters are like – to never miss a rave! cool

 

The energy brimming from both the DJs and the crowd was spectacular!

 

Over 5000 revellers filled the mosh pit and all corners of the party zone to catch the stellar mix of international talents of electronic dance music. I was no exception.

Hurriedly, I went down into the mosh pit to let my hair down and go absolutely beserk riding the waves of progressive music that was blasting from the larger-than-life sized speakers! devil

 

The ever-so-amazing Shogun!

 

Shogun, a popular Asian American DJ-Producer of Armin Van Buuren's Armada Music record-label fame, turned up my party dial the very moment I amalgamated with my fellow ravers into the mosh pit – right in front of the stage!

As a ardent fan of Shogun's tracks, I was always hoping that he would come to Malaysia to perform, and guess what? Global Sound Masters made my wish come true. wink

 

Shogun slamming bass-jacking tracks for the night

 

The legendary music maestro definitely did not disappoint as he spewed an incredibly extensive set of progressive as well as uplifting trance beats.

I found myself singing along to the vocal tracks and furiously fist-pumping the sky when the beat warped a notch heavier. cool

 

Clearly, we were in a world of our own raving to Shogun's music

 

Despite raving on the dance floor till the skies come down, I made my way back to the VIP deck to party there with my buddies as well.

Here are some photos of me and two of my girlfriends! kiss

 

Yuki and I

 

Take two.

 

They say the third time is a charm smiley

 

Sam and I with our Asahi cans

 

Zana and I stayed in a corner when the boys began to pour beer onto each other's head

Yikes! Count us out of that! surprise

 

The crowd showed no signs of stopping even after hours of mad raving!

 

Right after Shogun, B.T took to the decks and showed us what he was made of.

As if the party couldn't get any heavier! We welcomed B.T on stage with roars of cheers and whistles cool

 

Helllllllllloooo Brian Transeau

 

The highly reputable Grammy-nominated music producer, platinum-selling artist, film composer and technologist Brian Transeau (B.T) wasted no time in delivering wicked tracks and addictive beats.

His big sounds boomed tonight's party scene to the next level! yes

 

 

B.T's electronica dance-floor destroyers got the crowd raving like there was no tomorrow.

His set included my favorite track of his, 'This Must Be The Love', a fine collaboration with Arty and Nadia Ali.

 

Look at him go! heart 

Lihatlah kehandalannya. Hebat sungguh BT nih!

 

Somewhere on the center-left, was where I am. If you can spot me, I applaud your eyesight! yes

Actually, don't even try cheeky It's an impossible feat when we look like grains of sugar on the screen.

 

Take a look at B.T himself instead

 

 

His tracks transcended the dance floor all the way to the VIP deck where my buddies and I were.

Sometime into the night, I think the drinks began to do the talking.

 

 

 

 

 

Yup, affirmative. Crazy times with my buddies ensued, made even better with endless flow of Asahi Beer.

B.T was still taking on the night in full swing! cool

 

The motion of the laser beams spun faster than all our heartbeats combined!

 

Just Sam pouring Asahi beer onto my hair. Yeah, thanks angry

Malam tu, i kena basuh rambut kuat-kuat tau? Semua habis berlekatan dengan bir! angryangry

 

I wasn't the only one! crying

 

Throughout the entire night, Global Sound System featured a very recognizable and special guest, MC Stretch to catapult the party scene to levels of infinity and beyond!

 

If his name doesn't ring a bell, I'm pretty sure you would have heard his VOICE.

Nada suaranya yang mengagumkan dan kebolehannya sebagai pengacara pasti

meninggalkan kesan pada hati-hati kita yang terlibat dalam kemeriahan ini! heart

 

Magisterial, loud, authoritative and clear voice at music festivals of international fame? wink

 

Yup, it was the voice of MC Stretch that boomed throughout the entire rave of the famed Tomorrowland 2012 in Belgium, Armin Van Buuren's Armin Only World Tour and countless dance music festivals around the globe. 

Hearing his voice at Global Sound System made me feel like I've traversed oceans to party in Europe's world-class rave parties!

Don't know how; don't know why. But he just has this effect on me. wink

 

 

Thanks to my buddies and Define, I also got to party at the DEFINE VIP deck. heart

Like you have saw earlier in this post, we were treated to free-flow of Asahi and a perfect, elevated view of the stage and crowd!

Here are some photos:

 

 

That Saturday spelled an exciting one for me. devil

Good drinks, good company of friends, great music and great line-up! We sure had a lot of fun dancing, headbanging and partying our weekend away.

 

Don't stop the music just yet! The night was still young.

 

To see how epic the night was, check out Global Sound System's official after-movie!

 

 

The very same organizers will also be bringing down one of my favorite Trance producers and World #7 DJ Dash Berlin, to crank up the rave party scene for us here in Malaysia! 

 

 

I've watched Dash Berlin twice, but I've still not gotten enough of him just yet.

This Dutch DJ is amazing with vocal trance, uplifting trance and infectious progressive trance beats too. My favorites from him include 'Better Half of Me' and 'Disarm Yourself'.

His world tour is certainly something you shouldn't miss. Make sure I see you there! devil

 

I had a kick-ass time that night. Thank you Global Sound Masters!

Looking forward to the next rave cool  Pergi, faham? Jangan tak pergi! laugh

The Sunday Times XXIV: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

May 12, 2013 by thejessicat

 

 

Hey everyone! I’m back from Indonesia!

It’s so good to be home on the Malaysian soil once more.

 

Was very sad to leave Indonesia so soon though! frown

 

Admittedly though, this four day escape to our neighbouring country really did me well.

Those of you who have me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook would know darn well how stressed and emotional I was regarding the political turmoil happening in Malaysia, biased news coverage, headlines on our mainstream media and never-ending protests in our nation’s battle for democracy. frown

 

Black days of mourning with my nation in protest of the breach of democracy crying

Keperitanku tidak dapat diluahkan dalam perkataan. Kurasa ditipu oleh pemimpin sendiri!!frownfrown

 

This had me following each and every update in the news pertaining to the tumultuous situation; getting so riled up in the process.

At that point, I wished I could just shut my eyes and just forget about all the troubles we were facing… or better yet, jet-set to another country for a while.

 

And I did.

 

Thanks to the US and Indonesian ASEAN committee, it's good thing that my trip to Indonesia for ASEAN Blogger Festival 2013 was scheduled last Thursday. laugh

I was invited to be a panel speaker during the conference. My session was 'Photoblogging' where I spoke about photoblogging, and addressed issues of the rise of photo-heavy content and incorporating photography into social media.

 

Thank you for having me! And kepada semua participant yang menghadiri session saya, terima kasih!

I hope you have learnt a thing or two smiley

 

How coincidental! Just what I needed – a moment to focus on my passion instead of my sorrows.

After three days of conferences, I'm home.

 

I’ve just landed in KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) and 

feeling lethargic from all the travelling and transiting!

 

Now that I'm back, I don’t know if I should catch up with where I left off? 

Sebenarna, aku sudah tidak tertahan dengan keadaan huru-hara politik ini!! angryangry

 

I’m still keeping myself in the dark about our political updates as we speak.

Succumbed enough to the political outrage. I guess… sometimes, ignorance is bliss after all.

 

I'm a happier person that way.laugh

 

So anyway, what’s been happening this week? A LOT.

Here's a little recap! devil

 

Attended Global Sound System – the official dance party of Music Conference Asia 2013!

Full blog coverage up soon!

 

Attended the Heineken Kick-Off to Ibiza beach party at The Mines Wellness Hotel

Full blog coverage up soon!

 

Headed back to gym to continue my daily routines

 

Let's get it on!

 

I cannot stress this enough, always remember to hydrate!

Your output of perspiration needs more input of h20! wink

 

Here are some of the post-workout food I cooked this week.

Due to popular request (or rather, demands from you all! frown), I will also run a series of cookbook articles where I will be sharing the recipes of cooking clean food and low-calorie meals when the revamp of the new face of my blog is launched, okay?

 

Grilled lemon-butter herb salmon and organic wholewheat durum spaghetti bolognaise

with mushrooms & chopped chives – all on top of a bed of crisp, fresh lettuce

 

A platter of rosemary & thyme grilled zucchini with low-fat cottage cheese,

roasted baby carrots, tomato, chick peas & black eyed peas

with baked pears for that extra, natural sweetness!

 

Wholegrain oats with soy milk, toasted banana slices sprinkled

with chocolate protein powder and sunflower seeds
 

Grilled salmon with sides of honey-baked baby carrots,

garlic pea sprouts and organic sunflower seeds

 

A power combo sandwich of tuna, omega eggs, organic brown flax seeds,

hemp & lettuce on traditional wheat bran toast.

 

Quick breakfast of Chocolate Protein Oats with apples, soy and flax seeds

 

Tuna salad with chickpeas, hardboiled eggs and lettuce

 

Spent time cuddling my kittyboy Chivas at home after my four days of absence.

I can't tell if he loves me or not, as my cat is seemingly incapable of expressing emotions blush

 

Tetapi biarkanlah. I'll just love him anyway, regardless! heartheart

 

To me, I enjoy loving and letting love surround me. 

There are many types of love, yes? It really doesn't matter if the feelings of the other person/animal/item are mutual.

 

 

If you love someone/something, it makes your world go round. To resonate with love and affection gives me a certain glow of happiness and a sheen of joy! heart 

Tak setuju? Well, when you love someone, it makes you happy, right?

Your argument is invalid cheeky

 

Was surprised with a McDonald's Hamburglar X Hello Kitty!

 

Was surprised again last week with the McDonald's Grimace X Hello Kitty!

 

I wasn't the only one being surprised. We decided to give babyChivas a girlfriend.heart

 

He didn't seem too amused nor fascinated with his new companion. Boo-hoo! crying

 

Aight, it's time to hit the sack. 

It's been a long weekend and a brand new working week beckons usdevil

 

Colleagues and I fooling around at work during breaktime.heart

Also, how often do we turn up in the same pattern of workwear? Never. Totally worth a photo!

 

Before I end this post, let me wish my dearest mother, godmother, nanny and grandmother…

 

"No language can express the power, beauty, heroism and majesty of a mother's love.

It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of

worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star"

 

Dear mommies, your presents are with me! Await them when I see you at the end of this month heart

So sorry I couldn't be home to take all of you out, as I just touched down from Indonesia only this afternoon.

 

What about you? I do hope you had a great time with your mothers, or at least, remembered to personally wish her a very Happy Mother's Day. laugh 

Even the fact that we, their children, had them in our thoughts, would mean so much to them. Yup, mothers are really that selfless… or at least mine are! 

 

Sometimes, people tend to forget how the simplest things in life can be the most extraordinary.

But not for me. It’s always the simplest, tiniest surprises that makes the little girl in me most delighted!

 

Or… could it probably be just an excuse for me to eat ice-cream? 

Terpulanglah kepada saudara-saudari bagaimana nak mengerti! Hehehe devil

Have a lovely week ahead, dear readers. cool

 

Much love,

kissJessicat

The highlight of the event will be featuring many talented international DJ spinning right here on our Malaysian soil.

For the first wave of line-up announcements, here are the details!

 

Brian Transeau (BT)

BT is a highly reputable Grammy-nominated music producer, platinum-selling artist, film composer and technologist from the USA.

 

 

Dubbed as “MacGyver of electronica” by Wired magazine, he has consistently been crafting dance-floor destroyers and has since received massive support from prominent DJs around the world. 

Ranked at #5 of America’s Best DJ of 2012, BT will be dishing out his enigmatic electronica sounds at the forefront of the Global Sound System stage action! 

 

 

Judge Jules

Voted #1 DJ by Mixmag reader’s poll and charted in DJ Mag Top 100, the legendary DJ, producer, well-known radio presenter and the brain behind Ibiza’s busiest night – Judgement Sundays, Judge Jules will return to our shores for a musical bedlam. 


 

His DJ sets are the epitome of what DJing is about; passion and crowd-connection, amazing tunes and a set of hands capable of the most nimble of mixing.

A high profile radio personality of the then Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and now internationally-syndicated Global Warm Up show, this British talent is set to drop bombs at Global Sound System stage. 

 

 

Alex Kenji

One of house music's latest and hottest property from Italy, Alex Kenji exploded on to the scene in 2011. He will be taking over the Global Sound System stage to belt out his infectious blend of an impeccable house selection ranging from bouncy Italo house to tech sound style. 

 

 

His breakthrough chart-topping hit ‘Pressure’ has scored Best Progressive Track at the 2012 International Dance Music Awards and became a #1 track on Beatport Top 100. This adds to his other chart success ‘Get Funky’ nominated as Best House Track in the 2012 Beatport Awards.
