Taiwan’s DJ Noodles, the first female finalist in DMC history, will be performing at Hyde on Thursday night, September 30th. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to check out the new club, this might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

In addition to good music, the event is co-produced by Alive Not Dead, which means that the crowd should be a fun mix of artists from the entertainment-friendly social network.

Hyde has a large dancefloor, a spacious layout, and an upstairs lounge if you need to escape from the main room craziness.

The cover charge is $250 HKD, and includes one drink. You can purchase tickets online from Alive Not Dead here.

Remember, this Friday is a holiday!

This Friday the 23rd, Diesel is holding an in-store event to celebrate their Spring Summer 2010 denim collection. Titled ‘Sex Sells,” it features racy, charged photos by photographer Miko Lim.

Getting into the spirit of the campaign, Diesel will transform their main window on Queens Road Central into a ‘peep show’ to tantalize attendees (and unwitting passersby,) with their new denim line. Tunes for the night will be supplied by d.j. Miss Yellow.

Diesel’s invitation summarizes the event as: “Come hang, get boozed up, eat hot dogs and gawk at models!” Also on hand will be some sort of campaign-themed game with naughty Diesel toys as prizes…

Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin… Michael Wong? If you’ve been longing for a Rat-Pack inspired evening in Macau, this may be your best chance!

Friday, April 16th, Michael Wong will be performing live with a seventeen-piece big band at the Sands Theater in Macau. In addition to announced duets with singers Race Wong (2R), and Marsha Yuan, you can expect a number of special celebrity guests to take the stage over the course of the evening.

In true Vegas form, there will be a string of dancers and other performers adding to the spectacle of the show.

A Legend Reborn
This isn’t the first time that Michael Wong has helmed a band of this size. In 2007, he lead a series of concerts with a big band as well. You can watch a video of him rehearsing for that performance here.

Based on the previous show, I’d say Michael will be singing renditions of popular songs and big-band classics. The vast majority, if not all of the songs, will be in English.

Though most people think of Michael Wong as an actor, (and one who personifies the stereotypical ‘A.B.C.’ with a cocky attitude and broken Cantonese,) he’s put out several CDs and has a real passion for music.

Check out his recent rehearsal with Race Wong and a brief interview:

Michael Wong has not left the building… there’s more!

In addition to the concert, there will be a special after-party to celebrate Michael Wong’s birthday!

The after-party will take place at The View on the 24th floor of The Sands casino and features several d.j.s as well as the Glamour Girls and Sands Angels dancers! If that’s not enough, the Alive Not Dead gang will be in strong attendance and you know how they party! Expect a celebrity-filled event with Michael Wong presiding.

Getting tickets
Concert tickets range from $280 to $480 MOP and are available online here, or by phone by calling: 852 6333-6660 in Hong Kong or 853 2882-8818 in Macau.

There are several packages available that include ferry tickets for an additional $88 MOP.

Born in France, but now living in Hong Kong, Charles is an example of the positive way in which like-minded people can collaborate no matter where they’re located (thanks to the Internet!) As Rakim once said: “It ain’t where you from, it’s where you at!”

Having met the people online who would later form the Brainfeeder Record label, Charles has had success creating artwork for their releases.

You can preview a small gallery of his artwork here.

Please note that the event is one day earlier than originally scheduled. It’s on Friday the 16th starting at 7pm.

The place to be in Macau after the recent Lady Gaga concert wasn’t one of the splashy new casinos, but Cubic. We’ve mentioned Cubic a few times before, here and here. One of their strengths is that they bring top-notch d.j.s to Macau. Continuing in that tradition, on Friday the 28th they will feature DJ Cash Money, a pioneer Hip Hop d.j. from the U.S.

Cash Money is known to Hong Kong clubbers from his sets at Dragon-i over the last few years. He makes a stop again at the legendary club on Wednesday, before heading over to Macau on Friday.

For those who love bass and complex bpms, this should be a buffet of beats!
