skono Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hi girls and guys, As some of you already know, I am embarking on a trip through Central China and South East Asia. Tomorrow morning I go to Melbourne, enroute to Hong Kong, Beijing (where I will be seeing Cyantific/London Elektricity!), Xi'an (central China), Chengdu (central China), Thailand, Vietnam, etc etc.... So, taking Mike's example, I am gonna keep you heads - if you give a toss - up to date with my travels. No doubt there will be some wild stories to tell along the way Also feel free to set me non-criminal challenges if you must! Peace in the Middle East, Your man (soon to be) in Asia, Skono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skono Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 haha cheers guys! well i'm still in melbourne, staying with my little bro (who lives here) and checking out the scenery and greenery (which is actually quite premium and plentiful ) there hasn't been much in the way of beats here; evol intent is playing on friday, but i'm leaving for Hong Kong that night. i've been checking out the record stores, and i've found one (DMC) just down the road that has a studio for mixing/recording, which it rents out for 20 bucks an hour. So my brother's mate is letting me use his records, and i'm finally gonna have the mix i've been fiending after! the place has a mean dnb selection as well.. as for the asia challenges Grind; yours will have to wait til thailand, and i will definately keep an eye out for the ones with teh adam's apples Mike; dunno much about the hip hop scene over there, but i will take a camera along that hospital gig, and get some funny jga'd shots til next time, party on!

skono Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Okay team, update time Just gotta say it; China is a one crazy, fucked up, buzzy motherfucker of a country. Beijing is absurdly huge - not in terms of the height of buildings, but rather the imposingly wide and intimidating size of everything here. Their main train station is about the size of 5 Auckland International Airports placed next to eachother! The city is just miles and miles of CBD - as you drive through, massive concrete slabs of buildings just keep appearing out of the dense smog for what seems like forever. I can't even think of how to explain the enormity of Tiannemen Square etc... Thankfully however, the prices of everything are absurdly small: about 90 cents NZ for a long neck beer at my hostel!! The people are friendly - we have been approached by dozens and dozens of girls in the streets and clubs who are keen to talk, have a laugh or a dance. Unfortunately nothing more than that has happened with the laydeez so far. Okay, now for teh DNB. Last night was the big one: London Elektricity (DJ set) and Cyantific, supported by expat kiwi Elemental (Hayden, who is a bloody good bloke and a top DJ). The club was place called Cargo, which is THE swankiest place in which i have even witnessed DNB - heaps of amazing psychedelic lighting and a fucking LOUD top quality system. The place was packed with locals, poms, kiwis etc, and the dancefloor cranked hard, with heaps of dirty dancing girlies of all ethnicities . Oh, and Mike, your challenge is completed: i have a photo of a drunk, overweight asian man dancing with glowsticks! He was a good dude as well I also have a few pix with tony coleman... I will try to post them up soon. (kritical, if you could help with them it would be cool..) As for the beats - Elemental played a cool liquid/bouncy set, Tony was all about the epic bizzo, while Cyantific played a solid dancefloor set. Technically it was all about Cyantific: heaps of tight double drops and cool switches. Got back to hostel about 7am - there was some gurn action involved Oh well, hope all is going well in NZ. Sounds like Calibre was mean! I start heading south soon - should been fun! EZ Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick H Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Skono, whats goin on bra? Have to go ahead and agree with what Pat said mate, I was expecting my inbox to be brimming with tales of your oriental exploits. What gives? I have been a rather low key fella myself of late, putting all my finances into getting down to ChCh to see the wahine as regularly as possible. Got completely spangled on Friday there last weekend, so much so that we didn't have it in us to get to Calibre and Marcus Intalex the next nite. We were outside that massive club ministry where they have the gigs down there, trying to sell our tickets and good lord wouldn't ya know it, none other but Phil O rocks up... Small world eh.. Still waiting on the report of the gig.. cAreful with those ladyboys R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
