MARCH 24: Kyo Saturdays
Ren: Volume featuring Alam and Jason Voon.
Having always been obsessed with music, Alam decided to push himself by testing the waters of his musical inspiration. Today, this DJ/Producer has made a name for himself, not only is he one of the backbones behind leading event company Ohrwurm, he has definitely proven himself as he is considered as one of the prominent generation of DJs firing up the local and international clubbing scene. Alam has always been upfront with what he does; showing his versatility by creating diverse forms of style and genre, with his smooth blends of house music to his unparalleled selection of techno grooves. Regardless, he always manages to deliver an experience of sound, which leaves the crowd with wanting more.
Jason Voon from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia started straddling with different methods on the decks and eventually built up an eclectic mix ranging from hip hop to house before finding the core passion that unites the pleasure for the driving sounds of techno. Lots of after party sessions and private parties after, however, the playing turned serious and showed no signs of slowing down. Determined to hone his craft, he eventually discovered his own brand of dance infusion, playing, at times, on three decks.
His sound comes close to being musical anarchy, with explosions of thrilling hard and funky beats running riot from his selection of techno and a tart twist of darkcore. His love for unique crackers from the underground is evident from selection of floor bombers. Jason Voon first got his taste on vinyls and gears when he was barely 17. His DJing experience later included turntablism and playing tasty house sets in clubs during the late 90s, and has an instinctive ear for selecting rarer tracks that bursts with hostile energy and his rapid intuition in pulling off tricks never fail to create astonishing results.
His dream is not to compete for the best DJ title. Rather, he prefers to be a music ambassador, delivering his concoction of twisted techno, just hoping people will go crazy for it. Motivation? Driving beats. And his mission is simply to have vicious fun.

MARCH 24: Music Is Love at Bait Bangsar
Music Is Love sees the Da Funkie Junkie curated nights with Da Funkie Junkie and friends on resident music duties.

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.
