D.J. Miss Yellow is headlining her own birthday bash at Zuma this Friday, April 2nd.

Her last birthday extravaganza, co-hosted by Alive Not Dead and Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy packed the entire club Cliq!

The Alive Not Dead / Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy gang is back again this year at Zuma and you can expect another major party. People who attended Alive Not Dead’s Halloween party or New Year’s Eve event know what kind of scene to expect (‘Night of Mayhem’ would be the Facebook description!)

Birthday girl Miss Yellow along with Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy’s Enso and Kid Fresh will be behind the turntables. Expect a fun crowd, uptempo party atmosphere, and some amazing contemporary dance music.

Tickets are a reasonable $180 advance or $200 HKD at the door. You can purchase advance tickets here.

Every decade seems to bring new challenges to the Hong Kong film industry. Over the years there’s been lots of talk of the industry dying out completely. In the most recent threat, local film companies have turned their backs on the comparatively tiny Hong Kong market and have instead set their sights on the blossoming Mainland box office.

By focusing on making films for outside audiences, recent movies have lacked the local feel of previous generations of H.K. productions.

But just over a week into the 34th Hong Kong International Film Festival, I’ve caught four movies that point in quite the opposite direction. Could it be that Hong Kong cinema is making a come back? (more…)

Outside of film premieres and similar functions, it’s rare to see mega-stars such as Andy Lau in person. So it came as something of a surprise to see the legendary actor / singer twice in one day last week. (more…)

Tassels on sneakers? Three tongues on one shoe? Wings? Welcome to the Adidas Originals collection by designer Jeremy Scott!

No one could accuse this guy of being too subtle. Jeremy Scott’s flamboyant style has won him many admirers particularly among Pop stars and celebrities. Lady Gaga and Agyness Deyn both swear by him.

What was the designer wearing at Brother & Sister on Monday night? (more…)

Born in Italy, perfected in New York!

If you ask a transplanted New Yorker, what’s the best pizza in Hong Kong? They’ll surely answer: there isn’t any!

Not all pizzas were created equal
Though pizza originated in Naples, Italy, it was popularized, internationalized and significantly innovated on by Italian immigrants who settled in New York. Selling pizza by the slice for example, is a New World creation. The standard New York pizza of today is sort of a larger, more affluent cousin to the pizza from Naples.

While endless varieties of pizza exist, the measuring stick of modern pizza is New York pizza. And it is New York pizza that is astonishingly absent from Hong Kong. (more…)

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…)
