Club Triangle

Posted in events, pictures, random thought with tags , , on February 24, 2011 by dragon

I am very honored to have been invited to play at Club Triangle in Osaka Japan. I’ve played in Japan a few times but I’ve never been to any other city then Tokyo and in contrast to that city’s workaholic lifestyle  Osaka’s  inhabitants are so much more laid back. Right in the heart of Osaka’s downtown district is Club Triangle. This 3 floor venue blasts everything from underground to hip hop to drum n bass on its massive sound system. DJ wise selectah’s such as Rebel Mc, DJ Zinc and Laurent Garnier have graced the club’s decks. DJ Toyo – Club Triangle’s manager booked me to play on Friday night and even though the crowd was a lot different  than what I am used to (it was a house/techno night) I still am very honored to have been invited by Toyo to represent Thailand and the Dubway crew over in Osaka. I reckon a lot of the stuff that I play nowadays isn’t that much dub step and more on the garage tip, it certainly did go down well with the ravers inside the club on that night. To top that I was joined by an army of my close friends, many of whom I met in Bangkok ages ago. We all got niced up on the two free bottles of Jack Daniels that Toyo kindly supplied us with. If y’all want to see the madness  I uploaded some pictures on my facebook so please feel free to check out what went down on the frosty February night :) I also want to big up DJ Hiroo (oyampan), Quotaroo, Mami and Nobu, Fum and Ken, Naru and Fumi, Hiro, DJ Toyo,  DJ Tuttle,  Fat Boy,  Galaxy Gallery Crew and all the wonderfull peeps I met in Osaka. BIG UPS TO Y’ALL!

Here’s a link to the pictures from that night:

Tribal Touch

Posted in events, Flyers with tags , , , , , on January 26, 2011 by dragon

I’ ve just got back from the Pai reggae festival in Chiang Mai. I had a blast checking out all the local and international reggae bands. Local thai dub band Rahjasie I really impressed me with there live set. I’m glad to see that Thailand got so much young talented musicians. Being inspired by all the music I’m really in the mood to get back on the decks again. This coming Friday at Glow in Sukhumvit soi 23 will be our very first Future garage night. When it comes to the whole dubstep movement, there are many tracks that aren’t just half beat wobbly bass stuff.  I’m not really that much into wobblers but I do love the nu school garagey/tribaly beats kinda stuff. I feel that its about time to create an outlet for those types of tunes. Expect to hear Rosca, Untold and F dropped at this event. DJ’s in the line up are DJ Hiroo, Dragon, Skygazing and visuals by VJ Gorb Tickets are 350 baht at the door. I hope to see y’all there :)

Shanghai Trip

Posted in events, pictures, random thought with tags , , , on November 9, 2010 by dragon

To date Shanghai is the asian City that I  visit  most frequently. In fact Just last year I was invited to play at the Shelter. The first time playing at that club was Awesome and to date I consider the Shelter is my one of my favorite clubs in Asia. This year I was lucky enough to have been invited again  by Subculture resident DJ Drunk Monk.  The only thing  different from last time was that this event would see Myself, Jo stitch, Mc Sinamon, Pakorn and Napat heading over to Shanghai to Jam with the Subculture crew. Most times I ‘ve DJ’d overseas I would have to go by myself but this time It was great to be able to head to Shanghai with all of my crew. We landed in Shanghai on Thursday night and after we checked in to our rooms we all went out for a night of serious boozing. Big ups to Gaz for supplying us with all those Tiger beers and Jager shots!! We pretty much did the same thing on Friday night but didn’t  go all out since we had to save our energy for the big night on Saturday. I had to admit that I was still quite tired when Saturday came. I took a nap before the party and woke up around 8. I met up with everyone at the Club and made it in time to hear DJ DJI get on the dekcs. After it was DJ Drunk Monk setting things straight with a solid hour of some of the deepest dubstep sounds I’ve heard in ages.  Then it was time for Jo Stitch to heat  up the venue with some serious hard hitting dnb and lemme tell ya the crowd went banana’s to his set! To be honest I think he deserved every last bit of applause :) Jo’s  come a long way and has worked with me for many years now and I’m glad to see him have such a wonderful time that night at the club. I got on the decks at 2:30 and by that time a few peeps were a bit worn out from Jo’s beats so it did take a while for me to get things going again. I think this time I played it was more difficult to get the crowd hyped then the last time I played in 2009. I’m certainly not really into the wobbly bass as much as I used to be. Never the less it was all good and most important I had a great time! While me and Jo were spinning our tracks Sinamon would Jam on the mic with MC CHacha and Esia from the Subculture crew, all the while Pakorn was in the back of the DJ booth creating some wicked Graf on canvas. That whole night the venue was rammed right til the end and everyone left the club happy. Since saturday night me and the whole crew have been partying like mad. I ‘ve just gotten back yesterday and I ‘m knackered! The whole event was a complete success and both the Dubway crew and I were very honored to have been invited to play at the Shelter. Big ups to DJ Drunk Monk and all the SubCulture Crew for being such a wonderful host’s and I hope to see y’all back to play next year at Dubway.

Get Sorted before Dubway

Posted in events with tags , , , on October 15, 2010 by dragon

Once again I apologize for being a lazy mofo and not posting anything lately. But before you read on with the rest of this post I just want to congratulate DJ Jedie and Paranormal for rocking it at the Thai DMC Finals last night. Its great to see that Thailand is now ready to represent at the world DMC championships in the U.K. Its such a shame though that DMC team finanlists Paranormal won’t be making it to the U.K because the freakin Embassy in Bangkok denied their visa application…what a bunch of  fuckin’ haters!!

Ok now please let me tell y’all that I’ve got two gigs coming up tonight and tomorow. For tonight’s event I’ve taken a bit of a different approach because the music format is neither dubstep or dnb. Yes I know most of you who are reading this will be a bit confused and might be wondering whats going on? Well apart from dubstep and dnb  I’m also a huge fan of underground hip hop. I got my start in the biz as a hip hop DJ but since 97 I’ve had to focus my time and attention to dnb (now dubstep). Although I am a Dubstep DJ I still collect hip hop/funk/jazz/breaks and every once in a while some one would invite me to drop a hip hop set. Its gotten to the point where I ‘ve got tons of records that I want to play and never got a chance. So now I’ve created my an outlet where peeps can come check out some of the funkiest beats from the past and present. The first SORTED session took place a few months ago and it went by very well. Not only did I play hip hop but dropped other styles of music like old school hip hop,jazz, sou,l funk, breaks and even a bit of deep house. Tonights session I ‘ll have DJ Daddy G (Preduce) and DJ TORU as my guests. Both DJ’s  play awsome funk and hip hop so I ‘m very excited to hear what they ‘ve got in their crate. This event will be taking place tonight (oct/15) at Cafe Democ (free entry) and so if your in the area please stop by.

heres a sample of whats gonna go down at SORTED:

So now please let me give you the D.L on saturdays event. On Saturday night we will be having our Dubway session at the new Club Culture. Some of you might have heard that we canceled last months event because of our very close friend passing away. Well this month we’re back stronger then ever! Included in this months Line up is very well respected very talented DJ Oum. He’s been in the scene for a long time now and until recently has been getting really into Dubstep. Oum usually plays minimal techno at his Glitch Organization events. This time round he’ll be headlining Dubway and we’re all very excited about what beats he’s gonna drop on saturday night. Unfortunately we did not create a flyer for this months event. To be honest there have been so many things I’ve been stressed out about for the past month…hit me up on skype if you want details heheh. The other good news is that in November we’ll be organizing a huge Dubway festival at Club Culture so please stay tuned for further updates. Last but not least the cover charge for tomorrow nights event will be 300 baht at the door(include one drink). I hope y’all will have time to join me at either Cafe Democ or at Club Culture. Hope to see you at the party :)

and of course we can’t forget about DUBWAY:
