Make more Promises.

One of the biggest tracks this summer was "Promises", from the ever-bliss female vocalist, Andain (Wikipedia HERE). If you're trying to remember who she is, she was the voice in Tiesto's Beautiful Things.

There were about 13 remixes (official) for this huge track, but I have narrowed it down to my top three. It's difficult to put it in particular order, but what I may be able to share with you is the mood that comes with the respective remixes.

1. Marco V Remix

First up, is the remix by my favourite tech-trance producer, Marco V (official website HERE).

When I first heard this remix, I was amazed by Marco's fine touch. I have to say, Marco V is probably the reason I started to listen to techno. I love it as it has a dark, edgy and melodic elements.

I've actually played this track in my Sinful Soul Mix Vol. 1, if I'm not mistaken in track number 5. You'll see at least four tracks are made/remixed by Marco, and in fact, this is my first ever Mixset and it's generally a tech-trance mixset. You can always have a listen to my Sinful Soul Mix Vol. 1 down here:

2. Myon & Shane 54 Summer of Love Mix

Myon & Shane 54 (official website HERE) are very famous with their "Summer of Love Mix" which is as you know, lovely and their "Triplet Monster Mix" which is as you know, monstrous.

This remix feels like summer full of love. I can imagine this track being played during an uplifting sets, it is really soothing and I can definitely imagine girls dancing sexily while singing along to it.

3. Gabriel & Dresden Remix

This duo (Wikipedia HERE) has been around since a decade ago, and after resting for few years, they decided to rock the dance world again.

Their remix of this track is tight with a darker feel, something I'd definitely play at 4 AM, you know, when you are ready to get dirty.

Other notable mentions are the ones from Nitrous Oxide, Soundprank and David Call.

Summer has ended, but not the smell and the sound of it. I am also blessed to live in a tropical, all-year-long summer and rain home.

What's your take?


Dem yuh!

Hello-ween!

Alright people.

I've got something I'd like to introduce to this space. I have been toying with the idea of music for a while, and it kind of get me in a nice way. I like it. I like to spend time on music. In fact, I have been mixing some tracks some time ago, and I think I should continue the momentum.

As many of you must have spent generous amount of time to surf porn, I, other than that, surf for music. My interest at the moment: Electronic music. Or EDM.

To ensure the longevity of my blog space and my music interest, I will try and post my favourite music, once a week, depending on the occasion/mood/laziness.

For this week, since it's Halloween Weekend, enjoy this track by Albin Myers.

Don't forget, ECO FILM FEST!

Dem yuh!

Senoritas Performing at Eco Film Fest 2010!

It is sad to announce that due to some personal matters, our cool singer/songwriter Mohd Jayzuan had to pull out from Eco Film Fest 2010 performance on Saturday, 16th October 2010 at 5.00PM – 5.30PM slot. We do hope one day we'll get him to perform at one of our events.

But you know what they say, GREAT THINGS ALWAYS COME BY!

While we’re still looking for a replacement, came Senoritas - a breath of fresh air for Malaysia music industry, and they have been entertaining the fans since year 2008 and to continue the flame that fellow girl-groups like Elite and Feminin set alight years ago. An embodiment of youthful obsession with music, dance and fashion, it is hoped that Senoritas as an independent girl group can inspire fellow girls who aspire to tread in the same path and show that making it as a top girl group is more than just glitz and glamour: a lot of hard work, perseverance and strong values of sisterhood is needed. As of today, Senoritas had made quite a name for themselves in the independent circuit and they continue to give it their best shot to stay relevant and giving something fresh and spunky in local music scene.

Being independent, aggressive, hip, energetic and urban to the listeners, Senoritas promises to bring these elements in each and every performance of theirs and they will definitely give you the most unforgettable, heart-pumping experiences.

To add to the already good words, Senoritas is officially signed under Reshmonu's management - R Talents and their first single - MAGIC which is composed by themselves and music by Noctune and Outcome has been aired since last week. With Reshmonu's touch producing the song to sound better and much relevant to local music industry, it is hoped that 'MAGIC' could hit the local charts and win local music lovers' hearts.

Catch them performing with their energetic moves and powerful voices from 5.00PM to 5.30PM, Saturday, 16th October 2010 at Faculty of Economics and Administration, University of Malaya Kuala Lumpur EXCLUSIVELY only at ECO FILM FEST 2010!

Asam Pedas Bangi

Just after we done with the FREE CHOCOLATE BUFFET slightly after 2.00pm, we were soo hungry and couldn't afford to go back to Damansara or KL to look for good lunch. But since Bangi is my hometown, and I pretended that I know all the hotspots in Bangi. Heh!

So Shaq drove his car to the left and to the right and here and there. And we saw:

"This is a nice restaurant. Let's go." I said. The rest followed. See, I told you. *grin*

Shaq parked the car, we walked in.

Saw the menu board.

Whoaaa...

Since it was already past lunch hour (even though it was Saturday, I reckoned many families still go for outside lunch) the food was halfway finished, but still plenty to choose from.

So all of us chose Asam Pedas, obviously, only all went for different base.

Ikan tenggiri, ikan pari
Ikan kembung, ikan terubuk

My extra 'ikan'

Feasting starts now!

The result?

Nah ambik kau perut dah macam jin...

It was a timely lunch. Although we had chocolate buffet, all of us were really hungry. And Asam Pedas's spicy and sour-y taste was just the right dish to have after eating too many chocolates.

Lastly, what was I wearing?

Hot & spicy Dunk SB Hi "Mafia"

Dem yuh!

Beryl's & The Chocolate Factory

This story is one week old.

Woke up Saturday morning and already being harassed by Shaq.

"Cuz, let's go eat free chocolate buffet!"

"What?? Chocolate buffet??"

"You got the wrong keyword cuz. The keyword: FREE."

"Oh, what's the deal yo?"

Shaq handed a paper.

Cousin ain't lying

"Damn cuz, really? Let's go."

"Remember the keyword?"

"(Together) FREE."


*******

Reached there around 12 noon. It was really hot. Like real hot. Tapi free punya pasal...

And I say "Please take as many as you wish" Thank you.

And so we were told

The mineral water looks very interesting

See these ice-creams?

Let the free show begins!

1Malaysia, 1Chocolate!

The other fellow hungry zombies

~Doesn't matter if you're black or white...~

They're into cross-breeding too!

Not only they served free chocolate buffet, they have a store selling their products too. Pancing kuat...

Still hungry

Like I always say, "Smile is the second best thing you can do with your lips."

Nyum...

Nyum nyum...

Nyum nyum nyum...

Nyum nyum nyum nyum...

Nyum nyum nyum nyum nyum...

Nyum nyum nyum nyum nyum nyum.................

Too bad this was not for sale

And too bad I didn't buy anything. It was a free chocolate buffet, so why would I bring any money, right? But I definitely brought this feeling home:

Dem yuh!

Elevate your weekend

Versi skema haram.

Last Sunday my cousin Shaq, his girlfriend Tia, and I went to Taman Tasik Titiwangsa for an event called Elevate, organised by Elevate, and co-organised by DiGi. We made our move from Ikano Power Centre to Tasik Titiwangsa at about 4.00pm.

We arrived at the venue half an hour after that. The weather was quite hot, but it looked like it's going to be cloudy later. Nevermind.

The ticket for the event was RM10, but the good thing is, you pay ticket RM10, you'll receive F&B coupon worth RM7 + RM3 = RM10. Mathematically, it was a free event, wasn't it?

We missed the performance by Robot Asmara the time we arrived, and the band called An Honest Mistake was already performing. They are actually quite good, to be honest. I'm not sure why they named themselves that, they should have named themselves "To Be Honest," (with comma), sounds more honest, he he he. But honestly, they should loose the second frontwoman (I don't know her name). Stick to one guy singer or get a better second girl singer. That girl was trying to be Hayley Williams, I guess. Nowadays semua orang mau jadi Hayley Williams, I told myself, grinning. But I still support local bands nonetheless, I'm just trying to be honest, that's all.

An Honest Mistake

Next up was a Ska/Punk/Rock-you-can-form-a-soccer-team band, Forty Winks. They have been in the industry for a couple of years already, and I enjoyed their music. I personally think they know music quite well. Pun ada perempuan menyanyi juga.

Forty Winks

After they finished, it was Bittersweet. But while waiting for the boys to set up, three of us decided to take a walk outside, by the lake. For all we knew, we have walked quite far and by the time we arrived at the venue again, Bittersweet had finished their performance. Demmit, demmit. I really like the band.

Here's what happened to me

I have to say, the frustration was instantly washed away by Love Me Butch. Oh boy, they never failed to entertain me. They're just rock-solid. A true 4-piece band, and rocking it to the max. Nothing much to comment as Syarul and the boys always deliver the 'screamo-est' performance.

Love Me Butch

Apart from the music performances, Elevate also set up a cool 'VIP Truck', where all the guests with VIP wrist tags can go in, chill in the air-conditioned space, and play games.

It's almost 7.00pm and Pesawat has landed on the stage with their usual Pramugaru. The sky was getting darker and more cloudy, and ready to pour everything down, any time. Crowds were not giving up, they stood there and enjoyed the performance. It was an 'okay' performance, probably because I'm not a big fan of them, but still a fan of local bands.

Lawak doh kakak depan tu

Muka dia cemas ke apa

Pesawat

Pesawat departed from the stage, and Hujan came over, both literally and figuratively. I really like Hujan, and I was soaked in hujan, but I had fun playing in the hujan. The Raingers (so the Hujan fans are called) never bothered the hujan, as they were dancing to Hujan. Good performance from them, like every other time.

Blurry photo, due to the rain

Hujan

Event ended almost 8.00pm and everyone left right after. The turn out was disappointing, as the bands were good. Rain was getting heavier, and all three of us walk as fast as we can to the car, which was about a kilometre away.

Luckily the organiser was very alert and understanding about the scene event scenes in Malaysia, as the provided the crowd with free disposable raincoats. And it helped all of us got through until the end of the show! One of the small, but crucial observation and understanding.

Oh, and another thing, if any of you would like to get good-to-great indie bands to perform at your event, you can contact my man Senthil Raja @ +6019.568.0035. He is the BEST booking agent for local indie bands as well as international bands too.

Oh, what was I wearing again?
