CoolerFuzz's personal thoughts and wishes:

This New Year's Eve... Pleaseee...

Dandelion and I will just leave you with a song that sums up our whole year's experience.

It's about the things we love, our hopes and aspirations. It's about this planet we call home... And why we love almost everything which is nice and beautiful about it.

This includes all of you crazy supportive COOL party people and all of you event and social umbrella networks who has showed confidence in our efforts to promote events aligned with our mindset and goals.

You are all COOLERCLUBBERS, a collective of what we think party people are. Also our spirit and motivation to move us forward towards a better event-goers and party people mindset.

We thank you.

A special shout-out and million of thank yous to the people who we support to the bones and showed us some love...

• FoundationKL
  
• The Epic Tribe
  
• Time Out KL
  

We wish you guys the best of everything in 2009.

Cool Event ~ Skip New Year's Eve for this? EXCESSIVE RECORDS 9th ANNIVERSARY PREMIER CELEBRATION @ Maison Club , 02/01/2009

159th post... ONE MORE TO GO!





Can't celebrate New Year's Eve?

Don't want to celebrate New Year's Eve?

Does this statement relates to you?

"New Year's Eve is in the bloody midweek. Got to work/go to class/exam/get married etc the day after. I can't really enjoy myself and get super drunk, party like mad munkeys and do all the wonderful things I want. Should postpone it la. Can or not"

Especially those who can't take leave on the Friday after. Arghhh. Have to turn up to work with no hangovers.

If I don't go to any NYE parties... what is waiting for me the weekend after New Year's eve? Maybe there are some good parties I can attend and postpone my NYE craziness to that party.

Cause not everyone is a PARTYHOLIC like you know who (Not me ok).

Let's see...

So far I can find only one reason to skip NYE, wait abit and party the weekend after. Cause the peeps from Excessive Records are having a bash...

WHAT
For one night only, after the NEW YEAR holiday season, Maison Club KL is pleased to present the special 9th Anniversary celebration party by Excessive Records featuring 9 top local DJs. Experience the long awaited EXCESSIVE RECORDS SOUND SYSTEM.

Excessive Records (record label, DJ/producer colective, DJ school)?

Excessive Records began in 1999, and now had become one of most respected and renowned event organisers with a reputation that creates a mind blowing and tantalising experience at any events its affiliated with.

Founders Bryan Burger and DJ Callen have built a concrete name for themselves. Not only known within Malaysia, Excessive become popular with clubbers and the events & rave industry in parts of Asia such as Singapore and Indonesia.

Their experience in the music industry has made them a target for organising events in collaboration with corporate clients such as; Kent, Salem, Juice Magazine, Klue.com.my, Volvo, Heineken, Nike, Carlsberg, Sol, and Tower Records.

WHEN & WHERE
02/01/2009 (Friday) @ Maison Club KL, 8 Jalan Yap Ah Shak 50300 Kuala Lumpur, next to Heritage Row (Tel: +603 2698 3328 )

No cover charge before 12. E-mail

♫

excessiverecords@yahoo.com to RSVP. If you're RSVP passed, they'll give you a fun password. Can't tell you. Must email them 1st. Hehehe.

Why attend this event?
It's by those party people who specializes in trance parties. Just look at the local DJs offering for the party. Not bad...

Is it worth not partying during NYE? Maybe.

Maison is a worthy venue. Been to alot of good stuff there. Good beverage offering too.

Plus you know that NYE has already siphon off those who can't take a double or triple party whammy in a week. But those who can, can join the party peeps to celebrate the 9th anniversary of one of the prominent names in local DJing.

And if I can't make it...

HAPPY 9th ANNIVERSARY EXCESSIVE RECORDS!

More parties, more DJs, more excessive!

Cool Event ~ LapSap X IF Interactive Spins DELLicious @ Palate Palette, 30/12/2008

Wait!!!

Before we end the year...

LAP SAP is having another private party. A last-minute-before-New-Year party. Maybe last minute because they're working on New Year's Eve.

Btw, this is this blog's 158th post. 2 more before New Year. I can do it! 160 post on the wayyy...

LAP SAP says...

The party for you and you only... well your beautiful friends as well. Haven't done this in ages and thought it'll be a great way to end the kick ass 2008, the famous "if your names not down you ain't comin in" is here to haunt the outsiders again...

This time we are bringing you something weve never done before with the help of DELL is projecting visuals at the private party, the mind blowing IF Interactive will be with us on this one to show you some colours,...

Remember no mystery guests allowed, if you got friends get thier names on the mail too cool?.....

LIMITED TO THE FIRST 250 PEOPLE to mail us...

Theres gonna be some snacks for ya downstairs and WE GOT FREEEEE FLOWWWW TOOO.... till the tap runs out.

So its gonna be the best pre new years eve! kekeke...youre gonna enjoy.....

This party is PRIVATE we say again, as usual..

HURRY HURRY! WOW! EXCITING TIMES!

P.S - THE MR LAPSAP DRINK AND MS LAPSAP DRINK IS BACK TOOOOOO WOO HOOOOOOO

GUYS LOOK CAREFULLY YE! ITS NOT NEW YEARS EVE! ITS ON THE 30TH DECEMBER TUESDAY

"IF YOUR NAMES NOT DOWN! YOU AIN'T COMIN IN!"

Blogger's note - Sory can't reveal the e-mail. Last time around, I was communicated by Lap Sap NOT to spread these parties. Private party ma. Hmmm. How huh?





Somehow I'm going...

Crazy "I will party any where, any time" me.

Must be the music. Could also be the 'motivational' beverages. Maybe both.

I missed the last 1 or 2 Lap Sap private parties (HOW COULD I, SUCKY ME). Maybe I should try to attend one non-private LAP SAP shindig in Barsonic, Zouk. But that is sooo mainstream.

Hmmm...

So I see you party peeps there?

No worries. Get back to your New Year's Eve planning.

Let me find some other parties I can recommend. Maybe those in the vicinity of the first week of January 2009.

Koh Phangan at home: A psytrance epic journey at Fierce Green Fire (Pt 2/2)

For PART 1

Additional photos are the courtesy of Ikhwan (The Epic Tribe) and Hilma (Om Project).





As night looms, we left the day vibe. Another energy seeps into us and slowly the fire becomes the flame.

As we gather and motivate ourselves

The setting has beautified and dramatically change (these are some really great pictures)

From dusk till dawn, the night shamans come out and play...

Unfortunately, there wasn't any FULL MOON.

But when in need, man will compensate

So in the darkness of the night, the tribe danced their way... in any way. Adhering to the true spirit of psytrance. A spirit of freedom.

Let also, the FIERCENESS to communicate into our social needs to commence in a unison of mind, body and soul moved by the shamans into total psychedelica...

Just looking at these pictures makes me yearn to be at another one.

It was really dark at night, so let's see if I have something nice to show you...

Glow stringer

Party flames went on inside of us for 3 days.

3 of among my best party days in 2008.

Another journey ends. Really hoping to get another chance to do this.

It was not all about the music and attractions offered. Dandelion and I was there for the people, the vibe, the motivations, the acceptance, the experience.

And I truly believe that The Epic Tribe and its collective and friends can get us there.

There... To wherever there is. Still undecided. Alot more steps maybe.

A special thanks to The Epic Tribe, Om Project (Singapore) and everyone else who partied with Dandelion and I at

The Epic Tribe pres. FIERCE GREEN FIRE 2008

Finally, after alongggggg wait, the party has been posted.

What a relief. Something this massive. This fun. Should not be kept alone.

Stay tuned as we will gather COOLeriffic 2008 moments experiences by the COOLERCLUBBERS in countdown to the new year.

And some prospects of what to expect in the new year.

Get ready to party!

Koh Phangan at home: A psytrance epic journey at Fierce Green Fire (Pt 1/2)

For the past month or so, I kept on rambling about this thing




Wanted to post it asap, stuff got in my way. Kept on piling and piling and piling posts until I'm overloaded.

So lets get this out of my head and into this blog, for permanent memorial of how great it was to be at

The Epic Tribe pres. FIERCE GREEN FIRE

According to the organizer

FIERCE is a state of mind. It has no emotional attachment to it; and exists merely as a state of extreme power and intensity.

As part of this festival's battle cry, 'FIERCE' inspires us to protect the 'Green Fire', another name for our Natural World and our lonely blue island in space: Earth.

Hence, 'Fierce Green Fire' a quest to overcome our complacency to protect our last refuge of peace, nature, and mastery over ourselves.

It was also inspired by a book on environmentalism by Aldo Leopold; 'A Fierce Green Fire'

This post is in relation to another upcoming party. The more massive and psychedelicly uplifting

JUNGLE EXPERIENCE @ Koh Phangan, Thailand, 29-30 December 2008

Party info

Party flyer

Can't imagine the massive fun their going to have in Thailand.

Cause when Dhaima and I was at the Malaysian version, it was a party marathon spread trough 3 days.

Imagine this timeline.

Visual aid for you imagination

And after gazing at these pictures, and you're still not convinced... Some vids should do the job.

So lets start this party off with the activities and happenings during the day time. Clock starts at 7am...

The venue

The gathering of psychedelic people from all around the world to converge in one space to rejoice, share and motivate themselves.

There to share this epic journey with us were our friends from Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.

Releasing the mind up wards with music, only bareness meets the ground and no self consciousness, no fear and most importantly no barriers of self expression

Some of the psychedelic shamans who brews the music in the day time

And when we tire, we rest...

In our hunger, we conjure flames for sustenance

For memories, we then capture

Some other memories in video

From the moment I wake up


Spinning psychedelicly


Dhaima's journey

And in the night, the party really picks up pace... but for now we rest.

To be continued

Time Out KL pres. Time Out : On The Up (Dec '08) @ No Black Tie, 17/12/2008. New definition of local emo acoustics is The Snow Symphony

In between my modern day slavery (a.k.a my job) and my sponsored partying, club launches, massive raves and psychedelic trancing...

I always find time to squeeze in some good performance arts and indie music performances. It gives me a moment to chill and savour some intellectually stimulating things for the benefit of balancing my soul.

Thanks to organizers like the people from Time Out KL (www.timeoutkl.com) and venues like No Black Tie who gives space to up coming indie performers to show KLites what true indie heart and talent is all about.

Last week's Wednesday, took off from work, headed to La Blanc's (Asian Heritage Row) soft launch for some drinks then headed straight to this gig.

Gig pictures courtesy of David (www.royalshortness.blogspot.com)

The indie-lovin organizer

The gig

Fellow bloggers, Nigel and Hsu Jen. Thankfully taking photos was David and somewhere running around was Kelz.

Upon arrival, the band I was looking forward to was on stage. Check out why I am lured into the melodies and vocals of...

The Snow Symphony

See what I mean...

Savy Ho on Violin to lull you into the depth of their songs

The Bass Man

Nick Davis on vocals to guide you along the path of emo acoustics

For more emo accoustic goodness, check out The Snow Symphony's music at their myspace, blog or Nick's own music blog.





Next up was A Mantle The Sea.

A Mantle The Sea

According to their Myspace

Named after an enduring 19th century hymn, Petaling Jaya-based A Mantle the Sea is most comfortable pondering life, love and the world in general through its brand of eclectic and cerebral, yet accessible, music.

In 2004, the band released its debut EP, entitled "Take a Powder" and in 2006, the band released its first full length self-titled album.

This band? Hmmm... they sound good. Some songs are better than the other. But ultimately hear-worthy.

Since there is no available video at this time, musical point of reference is R.E.M with main and back up vocals sounding like Simon & Garfunkel.

R.E.M. + Simon & Garfunkel?

I like... Should check out this band at their next gig.

PS - I know this sounds funny but I like bands with average to nerdy looking vocalist and band members. They look like real music lovers. Not POP-tailored bands regurgitated from big labels.

2nd vocalist. Good vocals. Rougher than the lead. Good combo.

Maybe you can tell me how good they are after you visit their myspace and blog.





Eventhough there were 4 performers at the gig and we've gone trough two of them, unfortunately this is where the review ends.

Cause...

2nd last band was Rumi.

This band was publicise as Jazz, sounded jazzy on their myspace but sang Meet Uncle Hussain-ish songs. Shoe-gazers (I know you're better than this) and should have sung songs to cater for that NBT's audience.

Last performer, Prema Yin

Prema Yin, with all her musical accomplishments and experience, should have come for some sound check. Cause the vocals were hazy and due to the nature of her blues rock... her session felt like it was any another lounge act of lower calibre. Should have been better.





That's all for now.

This was the last TOKL's On The UP gig of the year and it has made me hopeful for the coming installations in 2009.

A new year... a new line up of Indie artist of various genres... performing together in one night of dedication towards their efforts and their beautiful music.

Hopeful that at least once a month, I can relish my IMHIS (Indie Music Hungry Syndrom).

Hahaha...

Now lets get back to the usual EDM programming with the second half of my Malaysian Jungle Experience 3 day party in the woods.

Stay tuned.
