Magnetic Soul, Hong Kong’s Drum N Bass powerhouse has been running a series of parties in Macau. This Saturday, March 6th, they are bringing Drum and Bass legends LTJ Bukem and M.C. Conrad. These are two top, seasoned artists and you can be sure of an intense show.

But don’t just believe me, check out a video of a recent LTJ Bukem / M.C. Conrad performance! (more…)

Saturday night, Gary “Mani” Mounfield, bass player for the legendary Stone Roses and Primal Scream, will be playing a special d.j. set. The event is hosted by Supersonic, one of Hong Kong’s ongoing Rock nights. (more…)

You won’t find any of the standard pool hall cliches at Tazmania Ballroom. In fact, on some nights, you might only see one pool table!

With a specially designed system that allows them to lift away two of their three tables (and suspend them from the ceiling,) Tazmania Ballroom is anything but traditional! (more…)

If you’ve been hibernating over the Chinese New Year holiday, you now have a good reason to venture out of your cave.

D.J. Rafik grew up surrounded by classical music, but at some point, he put down his cello and decided to take up the turntables as his instrument of choice. Six awards later, Rafik is a major D.M.C. champion, and has d.j.ed around the world alongside big names in dance music.

But does his background in classical music influence his d.j. sets? (more…)

Those not following dance music too heavily may be unfamiliar with the name 2 Many DJs. The group, consisting of two brothers from Belgium, were pioneers of unorthodox ‘mashups’ before the style even had a proper name (and far before such musical blends became common).

Always ahead of the mainstream, it appears that the duo have come up with a new innovation and are now taking their show on the road. (more…)

I’m not sure who’s worse, Hong Kong’s d.j.s who play the same Top 40 music over and over again, or the crowd that expects to hear only songs they know. This isn’t the way nightlife should work.

Think of it this way – do you eat the same food every night for dinner? No? Why not? Because it gets boring! Then why do you want the music to be the same every time you go out, everywhere you go?

Things weren’t always like this. Let’s take a trip back in time and see how clubs and d.j.s are supposed to function. (more…)

It’s the holiday season once again. The streets are packed with shoppers and walking through Causeway Bay is even more difficult than usual.

Of the many gatherings being held on Friday, December 25th, there are two parties of special interest for club-goers. (more…)

Six years and many tattoos later, L.M.F. are back! Since the group disbanded in 2003, there hasn’t been another band to shake up the Cantopop machine in quite the same way.

LMF, with their street slang and uncut language, offered a sharp rebuke to the squeaky-clean, manufactured idol scene where singers are chosen more for their looks rather than their musical ability. With their debut in 1998, LMF by contrast, were raw, unpolished and an immediate sensation. (more…)

German group Digitalism are playing at Volar on Thursday night in celebration of the club’s fifth anniversary. The duo are known for creating catchy songs with dirty, warm synthesizers and distorted melodies.

One of the major artists on the Kitsune record label, Digitalism’s songs often build into dramatic climaxes that cause dance floor eruptions! (more…)
