Above & Beyond @ ZoukOut 2008
WoOhOo!
I had a great time at ZoukOut la..
My first time & most probably my last time.
Because I was there solely for Above & Beyond,& I don't think the super trio would be so free to come to ZoukOut only every year?!?!
I can't wait to see them again within the next 6mths in Singapore!! YAYAYAYYAYAYAYA..
SPEAKING OF WHICH,another SUPER DJ is coming to town early JANUARY!! YAYAYAYYAYA..
its ARMIN VAN BUUREN.. :D :D :D
Wah he's also one of the best trance artistes man..Very good tracks he's been producing for 10yrs.
Well I only know of him 6years ago..
SO..Anyway..On that same Saturday,the boy & I had brunch over at Coastes..
My first time there too..The food's great~! The music's good,& its what I call.."ang moh land"..
Trust me,the prices of food may be steeper,but its good. ;)
As for "ang moh land.."..haha..If you're local,you'd understand.
Zero locals there except for the waiting staff!
The sun,sand,food & drinks were all good.
Would definitely be back again.. :)
I went home with dear to take 2 naps..1 before dinner & 1 after.(KIASU right? ;))
& met up with Wenjun for..MOVIEEEEEE.
Yeah we caught the 11+pm show..
And honestly? I didn't know that Keanu Reeves was rather good looking.
The show was alittle disappointing at the end though,it was so fast & it left me in a question mark.
It started out well & delivered throughout from the beginning to the middle,but towards the end its like HUH?
AHZZZZZZZZ..
Anyway after the show I immediately went to meet somebody whom I helped to borrow something for her & her friends because of Zoukout.
Sometimes I just wonder are they grateful for the effort I put in & the thought of me of the effort I put in or not.
HEck.I'm not keen on helping many people anymore,wastes time & brings in more frustration instead of happiness.
The 3 of us then shared a cab into Sentosa & it was FREAKING EXPENSIVE.
The car was already in Sentosa,so we just bought some drinks to mix with the vodka that Wenjun brought..
yaY~
I am quite proud to say that I paid for most of the things this time between dear & I for this day out,because it was my idea to go ZoukOut..Wenjun's too :)
But of course he paid for himself la.
I covered for 2 tickets,the cab fare,all the drinks & juices but not the vodka.
Brought snacks along to stash in the car too! yay~
We popped in at about 2+?
Yeah that was when Dirty South or Sasha was playing..
To my horror,I only got to find out that Above & Beyond was to spin at 5AM!!
It was totally crowded,everyone was having fun..
Some men were teasing ladies,some men were teasing..men.
:S
Some were out of control,like there was no government.I dont really want to think about it,especially those who were doing some illegal things in the dark.
Wenjun & I bought ourselves RipCurl X ZoukOut tees..Yay~
We bobbed around with Sasha's mixes..
But it wasn't very exciting. We missed out on Dirty South,I regret it. Because I like the songs he produced over the past 2yrs!
But ANYWAY..My trance heroes were out by 5am,sharp! & I missed out on the first half-hour though..awww..
I felt that the set was pretty good,but the best was back then in 2006 for their Tri-State album tour.. :D
The music was a happy high throughout at ZoukOut,singing,dancing & jumping like mad..
With lots of old & new trance + progression & vocal tracks..
I felt like I was singing with Tony of A&B!! HAHA..
Best part with alot of Oceanlab songs from the new album!!
& the Signal Runner's "These Shoulders"..waaaaa..nice..:D:D:D
Surprisingly,they played William Orbit's "Adagio for Strings"..wah..that's like since secondary school..awesome la..
Some songs I can recall are..
OceanLab - Breaking Ties
Above & Beyond pres. Tranquility Base - Buzz
Signalrunners & Julie Thompson - These Shoulders
Veracocha - Carte Blanche
Tranquility Base - Oceanic
Luminary - Amsterdam
Super8 - Delusion
OceanLab - Miracle (Above & Beyond Club Mix)
Above & Beyond - Good For Me (feat Zoe Johnston)
Above & Beyond - Alone Tonight
The encore was Alone Tonight & some people were boo-ing really loudly for I don't know what reason,did they not know the song?
-.-"
I only know I was singing whatever I knew.. :)
Tony of A&B became very emotional towards the end,& I was actually hoping for another encore...
FAT HOPE MAN.Aldrin was super ready to take over the set & so many people realisticly left immediately when Aldrin started playing The Killers. :((
My bf & friend too..ALAMAK,tired & hungry to even stay for another 3 more songs...
Really wanted to stay,but they were so tired & hungry.Darn.
I ran into kor's friend too..It was a pity we didn't club together.
Oh well.I guess I do better in smaller groups than huge groups of friends. :)
So..yeah..BREAKFAST!! Near my house :9
& I went home to admire my t-shirt before washing up to sleep.Ha.
Guess it'll be my first & last visit to ZoukOut..
Don't ask why not..
If A&B were to be there again,I'd say.."why not?" ;)
