Kongkrete Bass, in yo' face!

Saturday, my cousin heads off to work, and my Aunt, Mother, and I head out to the Star Ferry to partake in a ferry cruise that my Aunt had won in some raffle. Basically, we go on a 1 hour cruise around the Hong Kong harbor, surrounded by the beautiful skyline of Hong Kong's towers and skyscrapers. The cool thing about the whole cruise is that a lot of the towers have incandescent lights glittering their shoulders, and at the right time, the buildings put on a 'laser show'. Each building does an independent light exhibition, that when combined, creates a futuristic, awesome atmosphere.

After the hour cruise, I head into the city to meet up with Rich (dj Wash), who is 1/2 of the promotion team that is Kongkretebass. Run with his girlfriend Undine, they are the premier Drum & Bass production company in Hong Kong, putting on headliner shows monthly. They are to have me perform their event alongside Shimon this evening. So, meeting Rich at the venue while he is setting up, we decide to order some pizza and wings. Good old fashioned chillin'.





Arthur rolls in at around 11, with some friends, and the night pops off with locals opening it up. Some jump up is played, some drinks are consumed, and soon, lots of people flow in through the flood gates.



By this time, I am using up my drink tickets left and right, so I'm geared for action. Shimon is a very cool dude. He goes on, and issues forth some large ones to get the crowd moving. The place is absolutely packed, I was impressed. By the time I go on, after Shimon, the crowd is still strong. Most of the night was filled with jump up, so I was a bit concerned that my brand of futuristic tech and funk may be a deterrent. Definitely not. People seemed to lap it up in gallons. I opened with a new Krone tune, segueing into some deep funk for about a half hour, followed by some lighter rollers. The crowd stayed strong all the way to the end, and I was happy with my performance.



We closed out the night at a whopping 5 am, most of our friends staying till the end, and Arthur and I start our trek back home. Haggard. Arthur had to work in a few hours, so no sleep for him. Poor guy..what a trooper, to say the least.
