Discover Music with Hennessy VSOP

Press Release Hennessy V.S.O.P proudly launches the Discover Music with Hennessy V.S.O.P 2005 series aimed at reigniting Malaysians’ interests and passion for ‘live’ music concept that is upbeat, innovative and fresh. Beginning in May, the Discover Music with Hennessy V.S.O.P 2005 series will infuse some of the trendiest outlets in the Klang Valley, featuring both local and international acts in six exciting sessions. It will also bring to Malaysia an exposure to sophisticated experimental music with influence from genres such as Jazz, Funk, Electronica and Acid Jazz. Among the most admired artistes that will be performing is Digital Cutup Lounge (DCL). These famous producers, John von Seggern from U.S.A. and Stephen Ives from the U.K., kicks off the series with their ingenious techniques of engaging laptops to mix dance tracks, jazz solos and ambient noise - in what is called a radical form of new art laptop MP3 DJ-ing. DCL’s music is live with instinctive rhythms and powerful transitions of Drum 'n' Bass, and presents a seamless fusion of the electronic underground with avant-garde jazz. DCL has also incorporated their cutting-edge digital music technologies into remixes for such popular artistes as Madonna, Astrud Gilberto, Barry White and Sam Hui. Be sure not to miss out on their innovative performance at Bliss, the Lounge at twelveSi on 6 May. Apart from DCL, music lovers may also look forward to the unique style of famous Taiwan singer-songwriter Cat Peng in June. Cat, also known by her Chinese name as Peng Ching Hui, is well-known for her creative compositions of jazz melodies and modern rhythms. Her creativity is the result of pure talent, which has been cultivated since the tender age of five, and inspiration from artistes such as Natalie Cole, Laura Fygi, Carol Kidd, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. With three albums to her name, Cat’s performance at the upcoming Discover Music with Hennessy V.S.O.P 2005 event promises to be exhilarating. (Editors Note: Omigod she's awesome!!) June Neoh, Marketing Director of Moet Hennessy Brands, Riche Monde Malaysia says that Hennessy V.S.O.P’s latest repertoire is most appropriate, as the world’s No. 1 cognac brand continues to cultivate and build on its long standing intimate relationship with fine music. “For over two centuries, Hennessy V.S.O.P has led in the discovery of sensation and in sharing pleasurable moments with loyal followers through its music series.
