        After past bad experience, there aren’t many people I know who’ll talk to the press. I’m sorry.

            Most would rather not, that’s for sure. But it’s important to let people know that we’re not loonies or criminals. Hopefully this site get’s that message accross…

              hi..
              the article isnt for the pres or mainstream press….its just something for my own website…which is a dance culture site based in Malaysia. im all for the free party scene…and this will not be detrimental to it in any way.

              my time in london is running out…do let me know who i should talk to 🙂

              peace

                In that case you can find at least some of what you need on this site. If you have any particular questions, drop me a line and I’ll do my best to help…

                      bump

                      its nearly 4 years old but this came up in the “related threads” whilst I was looking for something else – thought it worth a mention as the Malaysian reporter’s content is still on the site (although it isn’t being updated recently).

                      it looked like a good site – but why did it suddenly fold, particularly when it seemed there are a lot of clubs in SE Asia (at least Singapore?) we all know that laws are harsh and democracy / dissent not as permissible as in the West – just because you can go raving at the weekend doesn’t stop your door being stoved in on the midweek comedown (actually thats happened to a lot of British crews as well)

                      I hope that Joon is OK and nothing too bad happened…. and if you can still read our site get in touch, would be good to see how our scenes have changed over 4 years…
