Just like that, and the weekend’s over! Most of us are still buzzing from last Saturday night, which saw the return of the Heineken Green Room series at Zouk KL. And what a return it was, bringing together Australian indie/electro rockers Van She, Japanese DJ act Dexpistols, and Malaysia’s own Lapsap for a night of mayhem on the dancefloor. Looking forward to the next bout of green room, but in the meantime let’s take a recap at Saturday’s antics.

Even more pics after the jump!

Here’s something for your halloween - a mashup mix from the bowels of the Rightclicka mixtape archive. The download might take a while, as the file is over 300MB, but the music just goes on and on for four and half hours nonstop! A whole load of tricks and treats indeed, so head over here to download it while you still can.

This is the 2nd Crookers mix that the Rightclicka guys have upped on their website, the first being the banging live set at Gatecrashers quite some time back. Download this electro-fying hour and a half mix over here - ASAP before the bandwith wagon gets blown up again!

In this short cartoon titled Hipsters in Space created by CurrentTv, a crew of hipsters launch themselves into the final frontier in search of a new “scene”. Highly amusing indeed, look out for the ‘cameo’ by Steve Aoki, because it’s so like … whatever!

Asian Hip Hop Festival@ Bangkok Oct 11th 2008

Over the last weekend, Bangkok played host to the first Asian Hip Hop Festival, which featured some of the top names from the the region such as Thaitanium (Thailand), Beatmathics (Philippines), Joe Flizzow (Malaysia) and of course lyrical acclaimed superstar-  NAS. This historic event that is the brain-child of Thaitanium. As the pioneers of hip hop and urban music in Thailand, Thaitanium have seen the popularity of hip hop reach epic proportions and wish to bring to Thailand the best from the respective countries represented in this event.

We were there to witnessed whooping 6 hours of non-stop performance by the regional elite. Among them, Beatmathics from Philiphine really brought the energy all the way to Bangkok and the crowd was bouncing to every beat. You can view their youtube HERE.

Aside from that, Thaitanium didn’t let their home crowd down after their last concert around two years back. They performed every hit song and ended their set with hit Ta Leung. Some said their set was probably the best of the night! We could obviously tell from the crowd in Impact Center was just pumping!

Due to the all stars line up of performers, NAS finally came on stage around 12 midnight. He started with some hit singles from his 2006’s album Hip Hop Is Dead and took the crowd back to the mid 90s (Illmatic) with hit singles like If I Ruled The World. Too bad some of the audience were worn out from partying, dancing (and drinking) for almost 5 hours and started leaving the arena.

We were dead tired as well at the end of the night. Our biggest regrets were not bringing a foldable chair and a good video camera to capture the event.

Special Thanks to Thaitanium Entertainment and Khun Air

For those that couldn’t make it to the Boys Noize gig in Singapore over the weekend, the Rightclicka guys have just upped a mix of the man live in action at this year’s Polsslag festival. Head over here to get your fix of dirty electro.

Hot as a f**kin’ boiler room, packed with about 200 people more than physically possible, the Lapsap Vs TAG party banged all the way til 4 in the morning - not only breaking the record for encore time, but also setting new benchmarks for sheer lunacy. Words are boring and our brains are still slightly numb, so check out all the pics and make sure to click twice so they fill your screen.

Don’t forget, even more photos after the jump!
