It’s finally here – the year of the Tiger (grrr!), spring (almost!) as well as our new little project: ‘SONIC STEP SISTERS’. A casual evening of social music listening and cosmic groove… hip-shake guaranteed!

Kongkretebass femme fatale Electronic Mistress (aka Elemiz) dreamed up a new event series, inviting along her girls Ves and Asayo to join the core and eagerly make the SONIC STEP SISTERS project blossom.

The 3 ladies combined bring an aural selection of various genre mutating bass music to the floor. Including music that’s so current, fresh and futuristic at the same time, we find it hard to describe and of course some good old funk & dubwise sounds, Jungle, smooth drum and bass & more… So watch out – this one’s different from your usual… take a break from your all-out club night, and simply enjoy a good, tasteful groove – SONIC STEP SISTERS is for you!

The first 3 events…

Will run this coming March (Friday 5th, 12th and 19th). Starting at 8pm – It’s an early Friday evening affair with plenty of very good music, all in a casual setting and in good company. The kicking line-up this March includes 5 special guests along with Elemiz, Asayo and Ves themselves. Street artist XYZ is working on some nice deco for the events!

Hong Kong’s HEAVY crew is 4! With the tireless pushing of the Reggae, Dubstep and Drum & Bass sounds – HEAVY have anchored themselves firmly in the underground of Hong Kong nightlife.
Whereas the numeral 4 is unlucky in Chinese culture – the headlining guest sounds like good fortune: BOJ LUCKI (MIR CREW) hailing all the way from Sweden. Playing live is local street-wise Reggae band CRAZY LION. DJ support also comes from Kongkretebass’ Electronic Mistress + DJ Wash.

Another highlight – the sequel to last year’s HEAVY MIXTAPE – will be launched on the night: Heavy Mix Tape 2.0 – featuring productions from Hong Kong & Macau.

HEAVY 4th Anniversary
Saturday, 27th February 2010

Venue: Backstage Live (1/F, 52-54 Wellington Street, Central, HK)
Entry: 10:30pm – late / Before 12: HK$120 (incl. 1 drink)/ After 12: HK$150 (Incl. 1 drink)

Deep, Minimal, Techno, Progressive and Future – That’s how we have decided to describe this mix.

This week on Kongkast, we bring to you a future thinker from Brisbane, Australia – DJ Model T.

Model T is from the origins of the most southern state of Australia – Hobart, Tasmania.  Since relocating to Brisbane, he has supported some of the most respected nights such as Rudebwoyz, Junglettes, UDP and Wax Assassins, as well as supporting international artists such as Andy C, GrooveRider, DJ Friction & SP:MC, Pendulum, ShyFX, Teebee, Goldie & MC Lowqui to name a few.

This year, Model T is relocating to Kuala Lumpur to take up studies at Monash University, also taking his deejaying career to the next level in Asia, we have no doubt this future thinker will be one of the high flyers in the S.E.A.
