Here’s how it went down in Singapore at the Johnnie Walker Jet Black party….Can’t wait for next year!!!!
Updating the continuing saga of the Asia Tour, last week we rocked a very special event for Johnnie Walker in Singapore. Once a year formula 1 racing comes to Singapore for a weekend and all the city catches F1 FEVER. If you’ve never experienced attending one of these events, this is not full of the stereotypical redneck folks who watch NASCAR in the states. That stigma memo has not reached anyone’s desk out here. No, to the contrary, the event is quite chic and the parties are very high end. We saw McLaren Benzes and Lamborghinis parked outside. Several actually. We were very blessed to do one of the highlights of F1 weekend: the JET BLACK Party.
Arriving at the city we immediately headed to sound-check and got to tuning our equipment and checking to make sure everything is set up properly and sounding ok. Soon after we were joined by DJ TINA T and DJ M.O.S. They were all headlining the event along with us. We also met local Singapore DJ phenom DJ FM who got the crowd going early. After sound-check, we retreated back to our hotels in a frenzy. Why? Because the city is so breathtaking that we KNEW we wanted to stay another day!! Calling airlines for about an hour or so, we were disappointed to find out it would cost too much, and we decided to keep our current flights. Guess we will never experience the night safari 
At least on this trip. There’s always next time!
After a freshening up at the hotel, we had meet and greet at the club with some fans and local winners of a contest in Singapore for Johnnie Walker. We chit-chatted with them about Singapore, music, culture answered some questions and then had a light meal and drinks on the patio outside. The view from here was spectacular. There was this SICK laser show across the water too! Props to the Mahfia for the dope shot during the laser show!
Apart from the HUGE Sands casino across the water with what appears to be a huge boat on top of 3 towers, the entire city has marvels of architecture. They love their unique buildings here in Singapore. The city is mad lush and tropical too. They manage to incorporate all kinds of plant life in the facades of buildings, lobbies, airports, you name it! Shoulda posted some quality pics to facebook! Oh btw, Singapore unlike China, does not block facebook. But it does much like China block all the naughty websites. It is interesting to note, if you remember, Singapore was also the home to the big “caning” incident with that American teen Michael Fay who vandalized some stuff out there. His punishment was 4 months in jail and 4 canings, who by local accounts is so painful that you pass out immediately from the strike! The laws out in Singapore are no joke, apart from vandalizing, here are some other offenses that will get you locked up, smoking weed (18 months in jail), spitting (hefty fine), littering (fine), importing chewing gum (fine), etc. Well I think my magnet will summarize plenty of the big ones 
By the time we started playing the club was already jumpin. Our set didn’t start til 2am so we proceeded to enjoy the Johnnie Walker open bar til then. Locally in Asia, they drink this combination of green tea and whisky that is outrageously good. When we weren’t drinking that we also had some special cocktails in the spirit of the whole F1 thing like the “Checkered Flag,” “Full Throttle” and “Grand Prix.” All in all is was a fantastic experience. We threw down til around 4am! Took some pics with some die hard aficionados and made our way back to the hotel for a good’s nights rest. The next day just did a bit of shopping, sightseeing, mahjong purchasing and then it was back to Shanghai! Big thanks to John Bosco Lopez and Funkguru productions for bringing us out! Party pics below!
Guzie here folks! Writing to ya from the land of the Rising Sun. Wait. I’m pretty sure that’s Japan. Yeap. It’s Japan. Nevermind… point is I’m in Asia, and low and behold it’s already been a week since I landed. Rather than rambling on for a few days worth, i’ll make it somewhat short and sweet. Here is Day 1 people! I know I’m a week behind but slowly I will catch up !
THURSDAY 9/22 – SHANGHAI, CHINA
I got in to Shanghai and quickly made my way to my hotel. I didn’t know where I was going so I called my contact at the club and had her direct the cab driver to my hotel. It’s kind of a pain not knowing Chinese around Shanghai, so I am doing Rosetta Stone to learn me some mandarin! I can already say “look at the boy” and “these men are reading a newspaper!” But the worst part about learning a language is that even when u learn how to say something, you immediately get a response from someone and have no idea what they are saying! It’s a process… But Shanghai is beautiful! Chinese or not!!! Below is a night shot of some purrty Shanghai buildings
Got my chill on in the telly and headed to dinner at M1NT. What a venue! It reminds me a lot of the high end clubs in Vegas. It has a lounge and restaraunt on one side and full on nightclub on the other. Even a friggin shark tank!!! I met up with Solarz who I haven’t seen in nearly a month, and we had a good hug and even better meal. The food is top notch and if you’re ever in Shanghai, go ahead and come here. Unfortuntaely, it’s not cheap. But the food is defintely the “bollocks” as the English sometimes say. NOTE: Some of you may know that “bollocks” generally means “crappy” or “shit.” Well much like in America we say something is shitty or we can say something is “the shit,” bollocks works in much the same way. THIS BLOG IS THE BOLLOCKS BABY!!!
Solarz and I threw down the late set and smashed the club to bits! It was a fantastic night. They said they hadn’t seen the energy that high on a Thursday. What can I say? WE ROCK THA CLOUGHB PEOPLE!!! Gathering our belongings and having drunk ourselves into oblivion, we parted ways because I wanted to FINALLY get some good rest on a bed (sleeping on a plane is not restful for me!). So i mosey on to the hotel. On the way home I spot the best american invention, McDonalds, and of course the stomach commands the brian at 4am so I go inside. But what I saw freaked me out. It was eerie. Almost everyone in the place had their heads down. At first I thought I had walked into a huge game of “Heads up, 7 Up.” I ordered my meal and got out of there quick! But not before snapping some good footage! Later on I asked someone about this strange occurence, and they quite smugle answered that a lot of the young people crash in the Mcdonalds to sleep off their drunkness. What a concept! Sleep off drunkness!? Asia is amazing yo! Haha…Got majorly lost on the way home and walked in the wrong direction for what seemed like a mile but finally made it home to eat a cold burger and fries. DAY 1 in the books! Peep the vid of Mcdonalds if ya don’t believe me!! Next blog post: SINGAPORE!
