Today I learn an important lesson yet again about life. Well, exactly today, but more like 6 hour ago. It's about how people work. I utterly give up ... who, what - I dun think I can say. This blog is too public to constitute revealing any details. Today's blog really nothing about music. I have taken a step back the last week or so about music and events to take a 'break'.
Nonetheless, I think I am pretty affected by certain decisions made beyond my control, and yeh - I guess I am not the chosen one.
If you have been following my blog all these weeks, it seems that everything seems beyond my control - haha! Maybe I just refuse to make too much effort anymore. Maybe I am just too preoccupied by "seemingly important" things in my life, maybe I dun have the courage.
But's it's sad, really.
It's a sad day, but I am sure I'll come back pretty fast. Bear with me if I seem distant in my thoughts this week = )
Cheers, See you on the dance floor.

Once again, I takes ages to update this page, aplogies yet again. I dun figure that many people actually bothers to read about the life and mundaness of the life of Keishi, right ?
Just returned from a gig @ Centro entitled Klarity Welcomes Everybody. It's a first step in pushing progressive house to the masses. Although it is the Zoukout weekend (and I was supposed to be spinning right this very moment ... but that's besides the point), the turnout was quite good, and we had a packed dance floor most of the time. Comparing gigs in Hong Kong and Singapore, I think the Singapore crowd is harder to please - variety seems to be the way to go, Singaporeans get bored easily, I find. But melody is the way to go for me at the moment, I seem to be throwin in lots of Sasha and James Holden stuff at the moment, they really get me going.
But overall I was feeling a bit under the weather and at the moment, a lot of issues are on my mind. Hence I dun think I played the best of sets today. The HK one is hard to beat at the moment! = p
But there is something I would like to discuss here and perhaps, defend myself, on the issue of professionalism and co-petition.
Recently I was pulled out of a biggish event, and despite attempts at not being part of "politics", I am somehow drawn into it beyond what I can do. Contary to what some people believe, the only reason why I like being what I do (that is dj-ing) is because of the music. I think many people can also say that, but act otherwise in the face of business profits or saving one's face.
After I was contacted to spin at the event, I was happy to represent my website as well as (in the larger scale) my country. Everything aside, I JUST wanted to spin good music to the crowd, and help to make the event a little better from whatever way I could. I guess there has got to be a reason why I was booked in the first place right ?
So a week later, I was told that I has 'cheated' the organization and has acted in a unprofessional way in not declaring my personal interests towards a rival club. All things aside once again, at that time or even this very minute, I am not officially with any other club. Even back then, nothing was confirmed. How reasonable is it for me to declare such an issue to anyone, be it a friend, or colleague, something that is not even 20 % confirmed? I rest my case, as much as I respect the organization, I bear no personal grudges towards anyone. Whatever that has been done was probably due to purely business actions and reactions - or so I hope.
Hence I would declare now I had no intention to 'deceive' anyone at any point of time, and I sincerly hope business decisions aside, the love and unity for our love for dance music holds first place.

Oh hello! I realised that I have not been updating this for so long, so ... I should now.
I just got back from Hong Kong yesterday and it was a fantastic "tour". It was really an urban jungle of heat and rushy people. The gig went really well, and it was really nice to meet Yin, Tak and Jimi, and of course Rocky, director of Queens. King of Queens?
Enjoyed myself, was quite a good sound system with good visuals behind me, plus fantastic warm up by Jimi which really got everyone on the floor. I really threw eveything i had to keep things going on , and kept pushing things up a notch higher. Sometimes, I tried to put in some rocking, but otherside long-ish tracks, and I think the crowd slowed a little. Overall things really kicked in after - kept getting more and more crowded, and also met quite a few "ravers". Respects to all, thanx for the great support!! = )
Pictures plus nice review of HK city at GarageSaleShop.com soon ...
