assault, we hardly knew ya

by azwanmahzan on Friday, 8th September 2006

I was at The Loft in Zouk last night covering Sessions, The Loft’s weekly showcase of some of the best local DJs. Last year’s JUICE DJ Quest winners Assault & Battery were spinning their last set for the foreseeable future, what with one half of them, DJ Assault aka Aiman, leaving for the UK this Sunday. I [...]

bow down to the cheech wizard

by azwanmahzan on Thursday, 7th September 2006

As someone who went to design school, I’m a little ashamed to admit that I had never heard of Vaughn Bode ’til about an hour ago. From his birth in 1941 to his untimely death only 34 years later, Bode was part of the spearhead of the underground comic, avant garde graphic design and graffiti [...]

Chill, I’m not telling you to buck the Government. But with last week’s budget presentation, the same social scourge has gotten its fair whipping - that’s right, cigarette prices have gone up again.

Ignore the still active banner on the right of your screen (note: this information was accurate at time of writing) because it’s over. And if you missed it, then what can I say? The invites were free, the drinks were plentiful and the DJs were hot, thanks to the quality control on our end.
Crowd and [...]

always have a camera at hand

by azwanmahzan on Friday, 1st September 2006

I hate Murphy’s Law.
Today has been a bright, sunny, gorgeous day. Birds chirping, brooks trickling and wind wafting through your hair and all that (I’m just guessing on the last bit. I have no hair). Beautiful views. But I didn’t have the trusty JUICE camera with me! Oh woe! Must jump into Sungai Gombak now!
Anyway. [...]

by davidchin on Friday, 1st September 2006

Wa-hey! Merdeka has come and gone and the feeling of patriotism I had in my fingers and toes, that I mistook for early warning signs of stroke, is still tingling. Despite the overcrowding, I enjoyed myself tremendously at Laundry where Madison Flynt was playing. Amidst the Merdeka revellers - snarling city-wide jams and the elbowing [...]
