Well, it’s end of the year hence many events are popping up like mushrooms. www.xes.cx is proud to have organisers of Speedzone and Midzone Countdown 2008 to giving out free tickets.
Other than the aforementioned events, there are two (2) other events which caught my attention.
David Morales @ Poppy Garden, Kuala Lumpur
Date: 22.12.2007
Venue: Poppy Garden, 18-1, Jalan P.Ramlee, Kuala Lumpur.

It’s been a while since I saw David Morales. I remember he had a gig at the old Emporium once. It was packed like a can of sardine.
More info @ http://www.7aste.com/
Next we have an event organised by my friends in Miri, Sarawak.

Stay tuned for more event updates! If you have any events to share, please email me at www.xes.cx @ gmail.com!

Those who started off clubbing in the late 1990s and early 2000s would definitely heard of Movement KL. Movement is a club located in an old cinema along Jalan Bukit Bintang.

Those were the days where clubs were open until wee hours in the morning. I miss the times where my friend and I would take a break from the club and have drinks at the Chinese restaurant next to it. To those who didn’t have the chance to visit Movement during its glory days, you’ve probably missed one of the most spacious clubs in Kuala Lumpur with excellent sound system and huge raves with international acts in the weekend. Superstar DJs such as DJ Sasha, John Digweed, Gatecrasher and Paul van Dyke once played in this superb club.
This club has probably revolutionized the dance culture in Malaysia.
Unfortunately, in January 2002, the club was destroyed in a fire. It is now a car park.

I remember there was one New Years eve where I spent the entire night up on a 15 feet speaker in Movement because the club was extremely packed. If I’m not mistaken, Josh Wink was spinning.
But now, gone were the days where we have to countdown in a sardine packed club. On 31 December 2007, one can head to The Boulevard @ Mid Valley City! MidZone Countdown 2008 is the MOST ANTICIPATED New Year Eve celebration in Kuala Lumpur. A FIRST to marry choreographed fireworks display with pulsating dance, and it is Fireworks Artistry at its Best !
Featuring a line-up of International DJs – DJ Stoneface & Terminal (Euphonic, Germany), DJ Matthew White (Hungary) and VJ SORT (Kagawa, Japan) and many more.

As stated earlier, www.xes.cx will be giving out ten (10) free tickets worth RM75 per ticket to five (5) of its readers. The mechanism of this contest is pretty simple – no need to count any bloody helmets.
First five (5) readers to post about MidZone Countdown 2008 on their own blogs and put up the MidZone Countdown 2008 logo on their side bars to link to www.ticketpro.com.my until 31 December 2007 and then trackback back to this entry post will stand the chance to win the tickets.
We will be monitoring the first 10 blogs to ensure that they actually are placing the Midzone logo till 31st Dec. If any blog found replacing the logo half way, then they will lose the chance to win the tickets. Also, this contest is only open to those who are 18 years old and above.
The html for the logo is: <a href=”http://www.ticketpro.com.my”><img src=”http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2329/2104400269_11265500ac_m.jpg”></a>

Once again SpeedZone Tour 2007 is back!

SpeedZone Tour 2007 presents the scorching World Grand Prix Champions Party!
GP’s biggest party adds a new stop to celebrate 2007’s F1 and MotoGP Champions

Kuala Lumpur – Wednesday, 28 November 2007
Partygoers have a very special event to look forward to on 29th December as SpeedZone Tour includes a new addition to their 2007 calendar – a first-ever World Grand Prix Champions Party! In a scorching double celebration of team Ferrari’s and Ducati’s monumental F1 and MotoGP wins, Malaysia’s favourite hotspot, Zouk will set ablaze as SpeedZone showcases a very, special deejay, the 24-year old wunderkind JAMES ZABIELA.
A technical wizard and with a love of all things sci-fi, JAMES ZABIELA is at the forefront of new DJ/production talent smashing the glass ceiling of the global superstars. He’s played to a room full of suited Japanese businessmen when showcasing Pioneer’s latest equipment, in front of 60,000 people in South America and just about every imaginable situation in-between. And this time ZABIELA will be taking time off from his residency at Ibiza’s world famous club, Space and Pacha – New York, to make his very first stop of his Asian tour in Kuala Lumpur!
From the beginnings of winning a bedroom DJ competition to being recently awarded the ‘Best British DJ’ at the DJ Mag DJ Awards and ranked #17 in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ Poll, ZABIELA showcases a style, which is at the same time trippy, bleepy and downright groovy, with a few gnarly basslines thrown in for good measure. ZABIELA’s unique style has been recently borrowed by the likes of Jay-Z who famously integrated it into his signature sound.
Set to close the year 2007 in style, JAMES ZABIELA will blaze the night at SpeedZone as he plays a 3-hour set of truly nuclear proportions. Joining ZABIELA will be SpeedZone’s favourite DJ, Joey G of Channel [V] fame, who will set the pace for clubbers in his own patented way, showing why he’s the best at what he does as he creates the setting for a truly monstrous main set.
The fever of SpeedZone’s World Grand Prix Champions Party begins on 3 December 2007, as partygoers vie for the chance to win 500 FREE tickets by registering on www.speedzonetour.com. Alternatively, clubbers can come as early as possible to Zouk on 29th December from 9pm onwards, and purchase their ticket at the door for only RM40 (includes one complimentary drink).
IMPORTANT: The party is open to partygoers 21 and above ONLY; all ticket collections and purchases will be strictly dependant on the display of a valid photo ID.

The organiser of this event has given www.xes.cx 10 tickets for its readers. In order to win these tickets, kindly answer the question below.
How many helmets do you see in this picture?
–
To answer the above question, please leave a comment or send an email to www.xes.cx [at] gmail.com. The closing date for this contest is 22 December 2007. The first five (5) person with the correct answer will be entitled to two (2) free tickets each to Speedzone @ ZOUK!
[Note: You must be 21 years old and above to be eligible for this contest!]

Wahrao. Terror-nya.
When I was younger, I wanted to master b-bopping. In doing so, I downloaded numerous videos to learn their tricks. Unfortunately, such ambition ended when I ended up crashing into the ground when I tried to do a helicopter spin. GAAH I’M TOO FAT.
I also tried to learn the ‘caterpillar’ a move involving the movement of hands to feet in a continuous chain on the ground. It ended when it hurts like crap.
Anyway, there’s one bbopping competition held at the DiGi – Fu-Yoh! Street Blast party, an event with all sorts of activities to cater the younger crowd. This time is a little bit different, the public can participate in this event – with attractive prizes to be won.

This adrenaline pumping and physically challenging dance competition would be an excellent event to watch. In order to participate, one has to gather 5 people to form a team and then make a video of the team’s performance in MPEG/AVI/3GP format and send the same to digistreetblast@gmail.com with the subject Dance. The closing date is 31st October 2007.
I would highly recommend that the video be recorded in high resolution rather than using a crappy handphone. No judge would be able to judge your dance from a crappy low resolution video. To simplify this, DON’T USE YOUR HANDPHONE TO RECORD!!
Event Info
Date: 24 November 2007
Time: 12 pm onwards
Venue: Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Prize: RM2000 + an opportunity to perform overseas!
Other than the B-boy dance challenge, you may also check out their basketball compeition, fashion design competition and performances by various artists such as Gerhana Ska Cinta, Joe Flizzow, Sierra, Letto from Indonesia and also Malaysian Indie Band such as Raw n G$, Mono lo-fi minimal, Tnoze/sash, Hujan, Debunga, Mines Mayor.
See you there!

PvD is renowned as one of the hardest working artists, with sold-out tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career. Born in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in communist East Berlin. Upon crossing the Berlin wall, the music bug quickly caught on and in the early 1990’s Paul van Dyk was spinning regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it wasn’t until the release of his second album Seven Ways which catapulted him into the Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single “For An Angel,” which began to earn him praise across the globe. By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in 2000, it became clear that the Berlin-based musician had far more to offer than his signature club sets and remixes that had already defined him as one of the most influential DJs and producers of all time. His first compilation mix CD Politics of Dancing was released in 2001, followed by Global in 2003 – a DVD which illustrates his own experiences traveling the world.
As a Grammy nominated artist and globally acclaimed DJ and Producer Paul van Dyk continues to dominate the electronic music charts and appears at the pinnacle of every Top DJ list across the globe. PvD, as his fans have nicknamed him, is currently ranked the World’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Magazine’s “Top 100 DJs poll” for the second consecutive year. His new original album ‘In Between’ will be in stores August 2007.
This year he won the International Dance Music Award (IDMA) for Best Euro DJ. Previously, PvD won four IDMAs in 2006: Best Global DJ, Best NUNRG/Euro Track, Best Producer and Best Mix Compilation for The Politics fo Dancing 2. In 2005, PvD received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album for his original album Reflections. In addition, PvD was voted “America’s Favorite DJ” for 2004 and 2005 by BPM Magazine and was the big winner at the 2004 Dancestar Awards, taking home 3 awards: Best International DJ, Best Event and Best Music in a Commercial (Motorola). Paul van Dyk was voted “Best Music Maker” by DJ Magazine, received the “Best International DJ Award” at the 1999 Music wards in London, was named “Best International DJ” by Ministry of Sound Magazine, and Mixmag elected him as “Man of the Year”.
Aside from his musical activity, Paul van Dyk has always dedicated a significant part of his life to politics and social justice. He most recently received Berlin’s Medal of Honor (Landesverdienstorden) in recognition of his work with Ruckenwind, a partnership schceme with the German Red Cross that helps poor and disadvantaged children in Berlin. He joins a distinguished list of arts and political establishment figures with this honor.
