wooowwweeee, Mauro PIcotto! One of my favourite Hard NRG DJs!!! My favourite tracks would be:
“Iguana”

GAAAAHHH I WAN TO GOOO
“Komodo”

Both are relatively old songs..but brings back the good memories.
The newest track from Mauro Picotto is “Evribadi”.

Timo Maas @ Poppy Garden

Timo Maas is one of the most well known DJs around the world – playing electronica, progressive trance and techno. Those who knew him would probably remember his remix of the song Azzido Da Bass’ Doom’s Night.

But it’s unfortunate that this world class DJ will be spinning in Poppy Garden, a small club in Kuala Lumpur. I doubt there would be any place to dance.
And a night before election day!! What a bad day!!
Last one for this entry would be the Nuffnang Pajamas Party!

Date: 15th March 2008
Time: 6.00pm – 10.00pm
Venue: Borneo Baruk Club, Kuala Lumpur
Dress Code: Pajamas! (Or anything you sleep in)
This is an invite only event. In order to be invite to his event, you must write a blogpost on the theme “I Sleep Better With Chipster”
Deadline has been extended to 8 March 2008!

Above & Beyond in ZOUK, KL

I met these guys when they came over to Kuala Lumpur to spin @ one countdown event in 2005 @ KLCC. This time they are back for another round of wicked dance music.

Acclaimed as one of the finest UK dance outfits of the past few years, Above & Beyond’s meteoric rise to the top of the global dance music scene continues unabated. As artists they’re constantly pushing at the boundaries of uplifting electronic music and reaping the rewards (and awards) in equal measure. They have steadily risen through the ranks of the world’s best DJ’s and now hold a ranking of 6th in the DJ Magazine Top 100 DJ’s poll.
