We’re now into the third week of 2018. Activities, parties and indoor fest pick up steam in what we know as the Klang Valley covering Kuala Lumpur and its surrounding areas. So, in addition to various highlights over the next week or more, here are MORE selections of what’s out there in Kuala Lumpur’s Nightlife clubbing scene this next week.
JANUARY 19 : Connected presents Dan Buri (TH) at Privi KL
Dan Buri is back at Privi. Bangkok’s late night techno juggernaut, Dan Buri, makes a return to KL. Dan Buri is like the city having its own Berlin resident DJ at its helm. His German upbringing reverberates in the brooding yet melodic soundscapes that he plays but his Thai roots lend him a more light- hearted approach to everything that he does.
In fact, whether he’s playing deep and undulated techno or organic tech house, his legacy in the city is defined by his high-octane performances and an unparalleled ability to engage and connect with the crowd. Notorious for pushing boundaries into nonexistence, Dan has crafted a career out of fusing together his many worlds in seamless and syncopated harmony.
Admission: RM50.

JANUARY 20 : Music Is Love at Bait Intermark
Saturdays at Bait Intermark on Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur sees the Da Funkie Junkie curated Music is Love nights with Da Funkie Junkie and Kubika on resident music duties.
The music policy for the night, in terms of vibe and ambience, is to capture the spirit, essence and music integrity of legendary clubs and nights like “Paradise Garage”, “Body & Soul”, “The Loft”, “The Shelter” and “Cielo” in New York; “The Warehouse” and “Music Box” in Chicago, and more contemporary clubs like “Respect Is Burning” and “Secret” in Paris; the early days of “Ministry of Sound” and the funk and cheekiness of “Scaramanga” in London.
According to Da Funkie Junkie, aka Donovan Tho, the focus is to capture and innovate, but not duplicate.
The musical ethos is inspired by legendary DJs Larry Levan and David Mancuso and their modern incarnations, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro and Danny Krivit.
The early hours will provide customers with an opportunity to discover the “roots” of dance music i.e. soul, funk, jazz, disco and Afro-latin beats. The latter stages of the night will build towards current and classic deep soulful house, disco house and garage.
As Bait Intermark is a restaurant cum bar and not a full-fledged club, the music will be down-tempo to mid-tempo but uplifting, exuding positive energy. The music will be soulful and organic, classy and elegant.
