Life In Borneo

Shenanigans sent shock waves through out Kota Kinabalu night life scene again. From ‘Boot and Scoot’ event to Harajuku Night, now this famed nightspot features DJ Meg from Venezuela. She’s one of the most prominent female deejays in the world and have been playing in places such as Japan, Caracas and Puerto Rico just to name a few.

Last Friday(May 30th), the Lifeinborneo.com crew came in around after 11.00 pm to probably catch a glimpse of this amazing woman behind the DJ console but it seemed we had to wait awhile till she turns the place wild. The crowd started pouring in close to midnight. With the band performing their last night, it was memorable for most of the regulars that frequent Shenanigans.

It was a long wait, but worth while nevertheless. I’ve heard an accumulation of house music before from various clubs in the city but DJ Meg was simply, phenomenal. An assemblage of people that lend a convivial atmosphere combined with breathtaking performance; the dance floor was more than just packed and it was beyond wild.

With music as entrancing as what DJ Meg could produce, which included a uniquely mixed The Uninvited from Alanis Morissette; the crowd was absolutely enthralled by the whole performance. Exceptional multifarious repertoire of dance music from House, Acid House, Electro House, Electro and Tech House. All through the night, DJ Meg at Shenanigan’s Fun Pub was phenomenally awesome!

Organized by Amir Yussof of Freestyle Avenue.

Quote from The DJ List:
“DJ MEG Biography: Maria Eugenia Gonzalez Vallenilla AKA Dj Meg born in Caracas - Venezuela the 6 of June of 1982. Their beginnings with music and the art began to early age in the school of Classic Ballet “Ana Maria Correa, later studied contemporary dance and also she made factories of dramatic art, music and solfeo in the schools of art like El Ateneo de Caracas and El Teresa Carreno. Finally to the 21 years of age she decides to express music through the vanguardism and technology taking the art from the mixture and the electronic production as form of artistic and musical expression, at the same time she develops her studies of social communication in the Santa Maria’s University. Dj Meg began her development like Dj in the Dj’s School in Caracas-Venezuela, and later she dedicates herself to the production under the trusteeship of Dj, Musician and Producer Tony Funichelly.”

Last Saturday night (19th April) was a blast! I joined some friends at Blue Note and the place was packed, even the dance floor was full of people dancin’. DJ Blink was on the decks and he really made the place hot with fast beats. The music was pulling everyone to the dance floor like magnet. He even played Prodigy’s “Breathe” and “Smack My B***h Up” (my fav songs from years ago) and added his own beats and style.

DJ Blinks brings a unique sound to Blue Note when on the 19th of April, showed off his persistence and innate turntable skills. His distinct sound is polished by spinning with DJ Tony Tay from Zouk Singapore, DJ Hyper, Meat Katie and Hybrid. He’s also won several competitions including Vestrax and Heineken Thirst.

29 March was the fifth week of Generation Y at Blue Note. It was DJ Anatta’s turn. A breakthrough female DJ, Anatta shot to fame in 2004 when she pipped nine male opponents in DJ competition on the local scene. In 2005 DJ Anatta became the first female DJ to control the decs on Red FM’s Wicked Session, one of the most popular radio shows. She really rocked the turntable and as usual these days, Blue Note was packed to the max.

Yo party people, it’s me again, back from another party. Just like last week, this is a continuation of Generation Y @ Blue Note. This time it’s DJ Nikki, hot on talent and looks, this international DJ was crowned “Heineken Music presents Juice DJ Quest Champion” in 2007.

Walking in, it was even more packed than last Saturday, I couldn’t even move through the crowd. People were dancing everywhere. And this week, I managed to take some pics, so enjoy.

Hey party people, let’s get straight to the details. Generation Y showcases International DJs and happens every Saturday night from 10pm onwards at Blue Note, Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort.

Last Saturday night I went there, and was amazed at the crowd turn-up (it was fuller than ladies nite, and that’s packed). I was talking to my friends outside and walked in maybe 10 mins after and couldn’t find them. Thankfully, I found a few other friends instead and they asked me to join them, so I got my favourite drink and sat at their table near the bar.

House music was played and accompanied by pretty visuals playing on the big Dual-Screen projector, mesmerizing, hypnotizing, makes me wanna drink, enjoy the music and stare at the pretty ladies i mean lights. ahh, this is good. Oh, did I mention the contestants of Sabah Miss Malaysia Universe 2008 were there too? Cheeeers!

Wanna experience it for yourself? come on down next Saturday night at Blue Note. Maybe you’ll see me there? peace out :)
