Headlining international dance act Groove Armada Soundsystem is one of the most exciting British dance acts of recent years. They gave the dance scene some of its biggest hits, including anthems like “I See You Baby” and “Superstylin’”. Groove Armada have come a long way since then. The group, made out of Andy Cato and Tom Findlay, recently completed a remix track for Madonna and has been busy in the studio working on their new album. Malaysian fans will receive a sneak preview of some of the tracks from their upcoming new album. Groove Armada Soundsystem are definitely going to give KL-ites a night to remember. Headlining international rock band Futon have been described in the press as “…dirty punk underwear under electro trousers: a world class act” and “...like ice cream: nice”. This Bangkok based band is made out of an eclectic assortment of characters. There is Momoko the Japanese sword fighting champion, the glamorous and gorgeous Thai lead singer Gene, Bee the Japanese teenage boy band member turned guitarist, David the UK producer who’s worked with All Saints and The Cardigans, Simon the ex-drummer for Suede and Oh, bass player and well known Thai actress. Together, Futon is a band that defies definition and confronts the South East Asian pop stereotype with reckless abandon. Headlining local act is H.U.M.P. (HazeUniversityMusiqPeople). Described as big room electronic music at its finest, a stellar collective of musicians led by founder Haze (H.U.M.) will come together on stage at Heineken Thirst Studio.
