Face book Party, facebook party, face2face, lets face it, it’s a f***kn facebook party, and it’s the talk of the town, but here’s the low-down… First off, I am not one of the organisers of the event, however, I happen to be performing amongst two prolific and downright awesome DJ’s and I consider myself to be very fortunate having this opportunity!

There are impostors out there claiming to be doing their own little Facebook party. Seriously though, if I were to quote, word for word, the emails that were coming in from these supposed “organisers”, you would personally laugh them out of town!

Let me reassure you that I know the organisers of face2face, and they have materialized this vision of theirs over months of hard work. The quality of this event to be witnessed, in about 3 weeks time, will be testament to that.

So get on over to the facebook event page for face2face and RSVP!

FANTASTIC official news from good mate and label honcho Mikey, in this press release…

It’s now been 16 long months since the last Silo release hit the shelves worldwide – Blastique’s tech-funk monster ‘Do It Like Rabbits’ & Hydraphobe’s pounding ‘Rukus’. After getting massive reviews in the press and the attention of DJ’s including Annie Nightingale, Hook & Sling, Aquasky, The Breakfastaz, Hybrid, Vandal, and more, it all went very quiet on the Silo front. Well, we might have been gone, but we were far from dead…

Silo is coming back in ‘08 bigger, better, and badder than ever with a revitalised new design and direction, massive fresh cuts, and some positively explosive remixes from some of the hottest producers of the moment.

First in line we’ve got a floor shredding set of remixes, each set to punch your eardrums straight out of your skull. Pioneering electro party duo Deepgroove are currently giving Blastique’s ’Do It Like Rabbits’ a dirty rave rub down, while the formidable Dilemn has just turned in an a stupidly firing take on Far Too Loud’s ‘Screamer’. On the new-cuts side, Dilemn has also taken the lead with a pair of tunes so immensely huge they’re probably what the Cloverfield monster has on his iPod. Have we got your attention yet? Good… that’s just for starters. Negotiations and decisions are ongoing with a host of other top class producers of genre smashing breaks and electro for other upfront tunes and remixes. Expect more news soon on tracks including another Far Too Loud remix, remixes of Hydraphobe, and a remix of Cybass’ unreleased ‘Shake It’.

………..SWEET!

See you all on Friday @ RAW for more Blastique ‘n Cliq goodness… If you haven’t already done so, sign up on my Facebook Artist Page as a fan (just so that I can get information delivered straight to you with eeeeeeeeeeeeez!) heehee

Happy New Year! 2007 was huge, and I’ve got nothing but solid vibes for 2008!

Many thanks to my very close family, friends and industry peeps who were so supportive (understatement of the year!), and of course God, both with B4C’s endeavors as well as my own.

2007 had a coupla hiccups, nevertheless, lessons learned, January is kicking off with a big juicy LFO! Solaris, Mont Kiara is set to be the next best bar/club strip to hit KL, and yours truly will be starting a residency at a location to be announced later this week! Expect out-of-this world cocktails, quality breakbeat and electro, and a very desirable closing time.

B4C will be evolving to the next level of live performance this year – I’d give details but that’d spoil a bit of the fun for the next show wouldn’t it!? Furthermore, Blastique/Hydraphobe (IV + Blastique)’s release on Silo Recording will be getting remix duties by a secret gem – More details on that soon (Don’t you just love minuscule suspense-generation?)

Stay tuned, and once again, thanks for reading

-Blastique

Welcome to the new blastique.net!

After my band-mate, John (of B4C), suggested I convert blastique.net over to the blog format early last month, I’ve finally gotten my act together and had a go at it! I’m absolutely loving it, to say the least. Expect updates aplenty this time around!

Much Love,

Blastique
