I LOVE MY'S EDM scene to be exact
As everyone of you know (or should know by now), the local EDM scene is progressing. Over the past 1-2 years, we have witness the emergence of many more DJ collectives than before. Some were expansions of previous collectives, while many others are new ones.
All dedicated to move the scene to the next level.
Due to an increase in entertainment venues, performing opportunities and corporate venture into the scene... local DJs now have a bigger better platform to expand the EDM scene they have work so hard to nurture.
More upcoming local DJs, producers and collectives are emerging from the woodworks to claim their share of the empire... and some of them has even reached CULT status around town.
For example, on top of my head, when you mention to me Nu Rave, I think of LapSap. Hard Trance? Bass Agents. DnB? Loops Collective. Bedroom DJs? FoundationKL. Psytrance? The Epic Tribe.
Not to mention DJs, producers and collectives which emerges from DJ schools such as Playaz Universe, Bionic, Groove Syndicate, Royale Academy etc etc etc.
Off course, our local EDM doors have also been blessed with organizers who bring the lights of international superstardom such as (on top of my head lah)
All of the above came during the past 1-3 years. Those 3 years where I declare a new FREEDOM has emerged (not the fest in PD ok).
A FREEDOM where some holes in legislation and the increased flexibility by our governing power has granted more FREEDOM and leeway to event organizers. We have seen lat least one major massive rave every quarter, and many... MANY parties every month.
This FREEDOM also applies to new corporate sponsorships and branding exercises thru the vehicle of EDM and parties. In short, the use of parties to promote products (branding).
All we need to do is wait for the governing powers to follow up and legalise clubbing hours to 5am from the current 3am limit. Pretty please...
So solely from the long list of international acts above which midgets local efforts and trashing local competition... I'm declaring that the local boys needs to fight back.
Because as off today, I HAVE YET TO SEE A REAL MASSIVE RAVE WHICH IS BY LOCAL DJS FOR LOCAL RAVERS.
I have seen some try. Like Indepen-Dance @ Putrajaya back in 2007.
CoolerClubbers Ollie, Khvn and GraveDigger were there. It was not a success story I know, but after that? Nada (zero).
I know, some of you might scoff my idea saying that our local boys are incapable, but how about Rock The World (RTW), RTW 1, RTW 2 and other RTWs that follows? All local, by local, for local. Are you telling me that rockers are the only ones who have the cohones (balls) to do this?
Come on organizers, it was one of my new years resolution to see a local massive rave party with a massive line up of local acts in 2009. Cross my fingers. Hope to party.
This new years resolution was also fueled by these 3 parties I attended pre and post New Year.
The crazy emptiness I witness at Smartie Partie (Friday) @ Mont Kiara
The chilled out LapSap's X If DELLicious @ Palate Pallete
and the really crazy fun time at Excessive Records 9th Anniversary @ Maison.
Will post about these parties in the coming post and will end it with my all time favourite EDM collective's party preview.
Stay tuned.

This prooves that international acts can fail. If you had planned to go for 2 days... haiya...
The chilled out LapSap's X If DELLicious @ Palate Pallete
