Heyya all! How was your weekend?

Mine went pretty damn fine, I'm back in Penang for the week! It's great to be cruising along your own familiar streets and routes you grew up being driven around in.

There's certainly no place like home.

On to today's blogpost!

Funny how I'm blogging about M.C Asia's AFTER-party before blogging about M.C Asia rave party itself

Shorter blogposts are always faster to write teehee!

Hence this came first, instead of some 200 photos of M.C Asia I shot & have to batch-edit

It's coming! It's coming!

Shot taken while raving at the dancefloor

My partypeeps and I came at the perfect time to watch the opening acts play!

When we came, we raved to two-thirds of local pulsating music force, TRIMIX :D

Droolette Tasha and Samuel Dan on the DJ decks!

MisterAriffin taking over!

Raving along to their progressive trance beats set the night well & left us wanting for more

I soon made my way to the VIP lounge and spotted Alex Morph and Sied Van Riel chatting over some drinks

Yup, that's Sied Van Riel with Alex Morph in Mist Club

Sied will be performing in Zouk Club the very next night, and we got to see him a day earlier! 

Chick Magnet cap? 😀

Alex M.O.R.P.H and I by the VIP lounge

ARE WE READY???????? 😀

The crowd was up and ready to go doof doof doof

Buddy Pam and I 

Another one of my rave kakis Reze and I on the dancefloor!

Le Housies on the party scene with me! 

Just realized buddies Ven & Cheez and I didn't take a photo together that night.

Look at his Macbook! Ubercute, no? 😀

Reminds me of Looney Tune's Woody Woodpecker …..

See? Told you 😀

Alex M.O.R.P.H two hour set was the shiznit

I recognized some popular Electronic Dance tracks he remixed too.

Alex kept the crowd going and I spotted a big group shuffling non-stop at the back.

Pam and I flanking big boss Luqman! 

And to end a fun Thursday night……..

Dutch Trance DJ & music producer Sied Van Riel of 'In Riel Time' fame and I 

That's all for today, goodnight all! 😀

Have a great working/schooling week ahead of you, lovelies

Who's up for another round of mad raves & music festivals? I know I sure am!

See you at Music Conference Asia (M.C. Asia) ! 

Two raves in two consecutive days!!? Geez. I must be insane.

Paul Van Dyk's EVOLUTION World Tour is arguably one of the biggest rave parties I've ever been to!

Got there at 9PM

As we were there early, there were other DJ opening acts before Paul Van Dyk's set at midnight.

3 homeboy DJs MisterAriffin, Ian Ross & Phil K Lee (Darkroom Tales) Terrence C and Italian DJ Giuseppe Ottaviani. They hyped up the crowd from 7PM till 12AM.

Still early! The crowd was beginning to build up

With my fellow ravers! Meng, Kerynne, Abel & Shaun 😀

Edwin & I

Homeboys Phil K Lee and Ian Ross!

So while the other DJs played, I kept moving around trying to find a perfect spot to stand.

The DJ console was placed up so high that standing directly beneath it would only allow me to see the tip of the DJ's nose LOL. Hmm.. I kept fidgeting around for a perfect spot with a good view to rave and take photos.

Found my spot. A diagonal left from Paul Van Dyk's DJ console

While waiting for PvD to begin, I chilled with my friends by the cabana

Italian DJ and producer Giuseppe Ottaviani came on scene next

He's produced many tracks and quite a few under Paul Van Dyk's label before too! 

Woohoo!

Psychedelic!

He's pretty damn good

Hey Ed what happened to your glowsticks? haha

The couzzies and I 😀

Keep going! You're amazing

DJ Terrence C was next

Finally, when all the opening acts were over and done with, the clock struck midnight. it was time for the star of the show, Paul Van Dyk to take over the decks for a night of mayhem!  

Just a wee bit excited. Or maybe a whole lot? 😛

A bit of camwhoring just before PvD's set!

And another one! 😀 Teehee

And suddenly my night has came to life even more than it already has. 

Our legendary Trance DJ-producer took to the stage!! I've been waiting all week for this! 

All hail Paul Van Dyk!

Let's get the party started, shall we? 😀

Here's a video of his grand entrance. Better watch it! It's worth your 5 minutes or so

It starts out slowly, but gradually builds the momentum & blasts off! 😀 😀

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf1ACFH_vnI

He was beyond amazing

The stage lighting and  its bass syncing was very impressive!

Crazy!

the lights boomed with every bass drop!

Lightplay was magnificent

The visuals kept changing every few seconds!

Must've cost heaps to make it happen!

World No. 1 DJ, Paul Van Dyk in the flesh. Again, my life is complete 

He played the all-time favorite and famous track of 1998, 'For an Angel' as well as others like 'Crush', 'Time of Our Lives', 'Let Go', 'Cream' and his other summer mixes and played a remix of Tritonal track too.

I swear if he plays for any less than 1 hour, imma scream for an encore!

Gogogo PvD!!

T'was awesome how PvD jumped along with us and raved too!

I could see the crew members preparing a canon-lookalike thing that was expected to shoot or explode mid-way of PvD's set. I was so worried that it was going to be flames, fireworks or dry ice!

As I was directly beside the canon, I didn't want to get charcoal burnt or injured in the process LOL

BUT GUESS WHAT SHOT OUT FROM THE CANONS INSTEAD??

 😀 😀

It was streamers and confetti!

Heaps of it! The canon fired 4 shots of it altogether!

It was raving mad; without a doubt.

The party didn't end till almost 3AM!

With the couzzies by the cabana towards the end of the gig

Thank you Celcom XPAX for bringing Paul Van Dyk down to Malaysia at the XPLAY Future Sound System!

It was an incredible rave

Photos by Edwin & I.

I had an amazing time. Many thanks to Celcom XPAX and Nuffnang for sponsoring my ticket 

As Paul Van Dyk would say, "this is the time of our lives" and I couldn't agree more!

Headed home fully exhausted yet ecstatic from the trippin' weekend!

Need I say more? 😀
