Of Clubs and Techno

Normally I would be tapping to the beats but not this time, actually the second time. Those beats no longer appeal to me which seriously lacks melodies but just hardcore thumping. Well maybe this is because of my extremely strong liking of pure trance music like those produced by Paul van Dyk,

Was sort of dragged to the club by my colleague for the second time this month to the infamous CBD hardcore tech club, Bubble, because he wanted me to coach him some dance moves. He got hooked to the club and dance moves after he first attended it last month.

Since then he attended the club almost every Saturday drowning himself into the music and perfecting his dance. Glad that he found some passion in it just as much as my passion for trance and progressive tech music.

To me it seems like my colleague hit puberty late because he is two years older than me and has just discovered the joy of techno music while I was already into the music since I was 13 and started clubbing by 16.

I miss the real trance music dished out in those Melbourne raves as they truly made me felt like home, after all I grew up in clubs like Flux, Atmosphere, Emporium, Espanda, Club Med and Zouk. Yes, all those classic clubs that many young people today think are just blast from the past. Well, they were good! and were the pioneers of the Malaysian clubbing scene.

While in the club last night I felt old even though nominally I am still very young and look even younger that I could pass off as some freshie uni student. But then again, this signify everyone has a different path of life. If you found something you like even if it is a very much of a youth culture, just go for it and enjoy yourself. Don't care. Before I left the scene, some Chinese gentlemen in their 50s just popped into the dance floor. I couldn't stop laughing but hey, they were having fun!

No pulling back, mate.

Now, I am thinking of plans to start a true trance and progressive tech club. Anyone in?
