Give it up to the DJs doing it big for themselves. Real DJs who scratch usually don’t get the recognition that they do, but there’s a lot of competition held this year. It was the Malaysian DJ Battle Championship 2008 held recently at Poppy. The battle started in 2006, and this is their third installment […]

Can a brand retain its youth? Sure it can. A brand, like person, can have a face-lift or, as it’s more commonly known, a rebranding.
Denim has taken a bold step in redefining its look to capture the oh-so-fickle Generation Y. Their event held recently at Laundry Bar, showcased 5 rebranded fragrances and also launched the […]

We recently got own hands on Andy Peterson Inc’s (API) CD.
Although there were only 2 tracks, it displays the musical virtuosity and freestyle mastery of Mr. Peterson and his band. Syncopated beats and manic scatting make these tunes “jump” into your ears and go straight to your head. Can’t wait to see the spectacular bassist […]

Here are some memorable lines from TROPIC THUNDER, the hilarious action-comedy that opens tomorrow (23 Oct) in cinemas nationwide:
*********************************************
Kirk Lazarus (ROBERT DOWNEY Jr): I don’t read the script. The script reads me.

Let’s be honest here. Apart from having significantly less responsibilities compared to an adult, being a teenager is no easy feat. Apart from worrying about school, homework, friends, and other mindless adolescent dilemmas (everything’s a dilemma to teens), they also have to worry about keeping our faces strictly zit-free. After all who’d willingly walk around with […]

Funny doesn’t even start to describe this movie. Billed as the biggest fake war movie ever, the comedy stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr as a bunch of prima donna actors trying hard to play soldiers. After ballooning costs (and the egos of the pampered cast) threaten to shut down the movie, […]

Lil’ Jon came to town and it got crunked at Mist Club in Bangsar. Very skeptical about the area, but my oh my, it was so packed. VIP area was crowded, couldn’t see anything going down on stage and we weren’t given the drink coupons, so we moved down instead to join the sweaty crowd.
To […]

Last Friday, we went to check on the Reebok Entertainment’s launch of “Framed” at Laundry Bar. Got a sneak preview of the episode featuring Allen Iverson and Nelly, which was hella funny. It’s going to be aired on ESPN starting October 22nd. We plonked our butts down on the couches and enjoyed the drinks, food […]

Josh Wink arrived in KL at about 8pm and went on the decks around midnight. It was a pretty dope set he dished out at Poppy, while we sipped on our ice-cold Tuborgs. To those who missed it, booo!
Look out for the review in our December issue of JUICE.
