While Googling and doing some research work and finishing an article for E-Tech Magazine, I stumble on some old photos. Not very old but enough to bring back good memories. The photos were taken back in 2006 or 2007 at a posh joint called Hacienda at Dempsey. Not sure if it's still there.
Had a gig there with my Tektile crew when it just opened. Full-on NuJazz 'live' like nobody even knew it exist in Singapore. I remembered very well coz, that was one gig where I had to pull my UDG record bag up the hill. Yup back then, I was still on wax and nothing else. The art of DJ-ing was intact and real DJs (who actually get booked), use vinyls only. Unfortunately, I heard nowadays, you can get booked even by playing non-stop mixed tracks on an iPod.......... all you need to do is convince some club operator with 'very-happening-yesteryear' stories. And, don't forget to 'butter-up' and offer to buy drink. You'll get sorted out.
Back then, you can't even hide your iPod coz there's always someone over at the console. And most of them knows what the shit you're doing. But again, what's there to hide....?? Wax on, Wax off....... can means CAN!!

S$300 to play pre-mixed set iPod and pretend to DJ is a blatant CON-JOB. A crime punishable by a life-time of mockery from the rest of us!
