More events to be posted soon.. please check this space regularly. VooDoo presents Mike Koglin @ Zouk Mainroom Friday, 1st April 2005 As the one bonafide super club remaining in the KL scene, it’s only natural for Zouk to open up the dance floor to globally renowned Trance acts of the century. With a more diverse music policy, Zouk presents to you Voodoo – a Trance infused evening, set to rock you to the realm of ecstasy every first Friday of the month. Voodoo presents - Mike DJ technique showcases a style that’s truly 2005 trance, driving, empowered, upfront, with the quality outweighing the cheese with a factor of 10 to 1. The man’s deft techniques more than turned the heads of the Illusion crew in Belgium who upon Mike’s first outing in front of 5000 people alongside Marco V and Cor Finjman were so impressed they re-booked him for both their massive club night Illusion, and also their beach festival – Illusion Beach in July ’05. Admission (inc 1 drink): RM 30 before 11pm; RM35 (Ladies) / RM40 (Men) after 11pm The Von Dutch April Fool @ Dragon Bar Fri 01 Apr - Sat 02 Apr . 9pm The brand that has conned the masses with its range of high street casual wear thanks to the likes of socialites, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, lands at Dragon Bar to fool you into its influential fashion forte. Assemble Von Dutch on your body and the best combo wins a prize through votes. Double Dutch and Bacardi party packages will be given away as treats to some very lucky clubbers. Be a fashion victim, because it's never your fault to be clued in. RM20 inc. 1 drink. Glam presents Trailer Trash @ Velvet Underground Friday, 1st April 2005 For the third installment of the highly acclaimed Glam series, we are going to be dressed like cowboys. Okay, maybe not literally cowboys, but this look has been a major trend, a bit tough but casual, and yet very western and romantic. It proves that denim could never go out of fashion. And if the weather permits….we’d be wearing our leathers and suedes. Set in a Trailer Park cum Coyote Ugly setting, we invite you to throw on your frayed mini skirts, plaid shirts, sleeveless, tuck your jeans into your UGH boots or maybe even chuck on a pair of Cowboy boots. Bring out your redneck side, just like Britney, Sienna Miller, Madonna did when they jumped in the bandwagon of the formidable Dsquared2 label who reinvented Trailer Trash fashion into the hottest catwalk shows and coolest fashion parties in Milan. Velvet Underground promises an eventful evening with our trademark show. Glam gives the uber cool and ultra chic their fashion doses.

Eclectic Phunk! featuring Banco De Gaia (LIVE), Tony Tay & DJ Blink @ Zouk Mainroom Friday, 8th April 2005 Toby Marks - the creative force behind Banco De Gaia is a free thinker and also one of the worlds leading exponents of globally inspired eclectic electronica. Mixing electronic and accoustic instruments, he voices his work defying genre classification. He has worked with legendary saxophonist Dick Parry who played on Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” and leading edge breaks re-mixer Jack Dangers. Banco De Gaia cut his teeth on the early 90s Ambient Dub compilations. Ambient music was the precursor of the current “chill out” marketing phenomena. In 1994 he released his first studio album Maya on Planet Dog records. Maya was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize on its release, followed in 1995 by the critically acclaimed Last Train To Lhasa. Both albums reached No1# in the independent charts. Since then Banco De Gaia has released Big Men Cry, Live At Glastonbury, The Magical Sounds Of Banco De Gaia and 2000’s Igizeh as well as the ‘best of’ compilations '10 Years' and '10 Years Remixed'. May 2002 saw the start of the long awaited re-release of the classic Banco De Gaia albums Maya, Last Train To Lhasa, Live At Glastonbury and Big Men Cry. The catalogue had been held in a legal limbo for a number of years. In that time they had fallen into the hands of the Disney Corporation in the US. In 1999 he started Disco Gecko Recordings, for The Magical Sounds Of Banco De Gaia. He took a year out from the label in 2000, when he licensed Igizeh, to San Francisco’s Six Degrees Records for the world. In September 2002 he released the first ever Banco De Gaia compilation '10 Years', which was a critical and commercial success, followed by '10 Years Remixed' in 2003. 'You Are Here', his first artist album in three years is scheduled for global release in April 2004, with Six Degrees Records once again handling the album outside Europe.

Tel : 016 2768962 RM10 Push presents Petrae Foy @ Zouk Mainroom Saturday, 9th April 2005 "Dance music needs stars. We need exciting young DJs to step in and move our music and culture that next big step forward" - Mixmag Advocating Push’s unique music policy where distinctive profusion of cutting-edge and innovative sounds prevail, we proudly bring you internationally acclaimed Petrae Foy. At the tender age of 23, Petrae Foy looks set to be a name on many clubbers lips for years to come. His tough but funky techno sound and seamless mixing has won him many admirers and he now looks set to make his mark on an international level. The story begins in the mid 90's when, as a schoolboy Petrae bought his first set of decks. Within a year he had his first gig at the Hacienda. At the age of 15, Petrae was the youngest known DJ to play at the legendary venue and word quickly spread of Petrae's supreme talent of being able to lift a crowd at any given moment. "I don't like to be labelled as a DJ who plays just one genre of music," he says. "Whilst I generally like to keep things quite hard, my sets often contain quite a lot of funky techno." It's this diversity that helped Petrae build his name throughout the Manchester club scene and Petrae could be found rocking many venues across the city as he built himself a strong following in the 1990s. Two years ago Petrae secured a residency at Godskitchen. As well as regular club gigs at the superclub's home "Air", Petrae has played the past two illustrious Global Gathering Festivals and in February 2004 Petrae was selected to play alongside Carl Cox at Godskitchen after Carl himself personally approved his demo. Quite an achievement! Earlier this year, Trevor Rockliffe also happened to listen to one of Petrae's demos and gave him a date in May at his own night in London "Stomp". As a result of this booking Petrae has gone into the studio with Trevor to start work on their forthcoming track. Not only is Petrae kicking up a storm in the clubs, in the last two years he has done three Radio 1 mixes, with a fourth one is looking set before the end of the year. In June Petrae was also Pete Tong's "man on the phone". Some of Petrae's biggest DJ' experiences to date are Homelands 2003 Radio 1 stage alongside Paul Oakenfold, Timo Maas and Seb Fontaine; Headlining Inside Out New Years Eve 2003 at The Arches in Glasgow to a crowd of 3000 people and summer of 2004 playing in Ibiza for Most Wanted Global at Privilege - the worlds biggest club! Mixmag has ear marked Petrae as one of their future hero's but you can also find Petrae's name across the water in countries like Singapore, Venezuela and Brazil to name a few.
