GrassRoots II - The Heavyweight Connection (Facebook Event Page)

With the giddiness of CNY well and truly out the way, KOKO Asia is proud to present the second installment of its ‘GrassRoots’ series this Wednesday 3rd March @ Palate Palette.

HEAVYWEIGHT CONNECTION beings together a line up of some of KL’s most prominent and exciting DJ’s taking you on a musical journey rarely seen in the monotony of the current club scene.

BLASTIQUE
www.facebook.com/Blastique
Classically trained in music, Blastique has spent the past decade perfecting his electronic music production and performance skills. Today, a degree-wielding Sonic Artist, and a Certified Ableton Trainer, he laces his sound with scalpel-like precision, technical mastery, and an unrelenting attitude that refuses to be pigeon holed.

VNRP

A 22 year old viking hailing from the dark cold north sailed his cursed longboat down to plunder and destroy dancefloors all over KL. Using the smoothest nu disco and the heaviest fidget electro tracks this blond crusader will keep you dancing through the night.

sl4ck
Slack by name, slack as fuck by nature - KOKO Asia’s very own will be dishing out the biggest and best from the alternative scene.

In celebration of the upcoming PLACEBO gig on March 16th @ KL live we will be giving away TWO FREE TICKETS to the show on the night as well as playing tracks from their new album ‘BATTLE FOR THE SUN’.

On Wednesday 19 November, join us again for a night of good old fashioned fun and creative networking, Pecha Kucha style at The Apartment Downtown @ Suria KLCC.

If you haven’t heard of Pecha Kucha Night Kuala Lumpur, it can basically be summed up as a night of quick draw presentations by creatively inclined beings, good company, cool tunes by DJ Blastique and even greater conversations. Try it to believe it!

We’ve got an excellent line up of presenters - check it out here.

Massive respect to Richard and Dan of twentyone for booking me, taking care of all my needs and for making me feel completely at home. Also, a huge thank you goes to EVERYONE who made it down for this very memorable gig. I can’t say that I’ve had as much fun playing solo anywhere in KL until that night itself. You peeps on the dancefloor stayed till the absolute end and it was a mad feeling seeing ya getting down to breaks and bass

I have uploaded a coupla hours of the set here. I wanted the whole thing, but unfortunately my recorder was acting a bit funky, corrupted the beginning of the file, and decided to run out 1 hour before the end, grrrr!

Anyhow, enjoy! Next up, face2face…

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!

Just in from the people at Foreshadows (Perth, Australia):

As we roll into a new financial year, the OneAM show rolls into Ambar for their first appearance in Perths favorite basement.

Spearheading the lineup will be Producer/DJ – BLASTIQUE, flying in from Malaysia for an exclusive 2 hour live set.

Classically trained in music, he has spent the past 7 years perfecting his electronic music production skills. Today, a degree-wielding Sonic Artist, Blastique laces his sound with scalpel-like precision, technical mastery, and an unrelenting attitude that refuses to be pigeon holed.

With a string of solo releases on UK labels such as Silo Recordings and Electrofly Records, has also teamed up with producers Nutek and Glen Tandy to form Nu-Tandique. Their first release, a remix of The Radiators’ “Gimme Head” has featured on MOS Summer Session Vol. 5

Blastique performs live, and integrates his arsenal of MIDI gear & Ableton together with some tight programming, resulting in a sound that can be described as progressively melodic-techy-tribal n’ breaky.

For support duties we have assembled a talented and diverse local lineup. Ex Nyquist Freq and turntable master, Angry Buda performs with MC Rami. Perth Breakbeat queen, of Sista Massive fame; Missile and up and coming breaks duo; the Nightcrawlaz join the OneAM Residents to round off the party.

Hosted by MC Amani

Angry Buda v MC Rami
Missile (Sister Massive)
Mortal Realistiks
Mali
Jezahh
Tha Nightcrawlaz

So dust off your two tone leather dancing shoes and get your trendsetting buts down to Ambar on the 11th July as OneAM takes things up a notch.

Entry $15 on the door.
