“Incredible”, “Fantastic”, “Mind-Blowing”, these are just some of the
words that would be appropriate to use for Koncrete Jungle’s most
recent party. The celebration was held at the luxuriously decorated
Skitz nightclub on Good Friday. Unfortunately, even though the date
was a holiday the turnout was quite poor for the beginning of the
night. This may have to due with the fact that the headlining
performer “Moving Fusion”, under Ram Records recording label, was
unable to attend because of the potential mandatory quarantine, due to
the recent problems Hong Kong has been facing with SARS. Another
initial disappointment was the announcement the MC Renegade had backed
out of the event. But all of these potential disruptions to what could
have been a fantastic party where completely over run by the out of
this world performance by DJ Specialist from the UK. He came to the
decks shortly after 1:30am and threw down the ever popular track “Hide
U” by Kosheen, this track seemed to appear and reappear throughout the
sets over the course of the night. His set was hard and driving,
unlike the majority of the Hong Kong drum and bass. The dance floor
filled and both the energy, and unfortunately the temperature, in the
room increased until it finally peaked around 3am. With the support of
a local MC and laying down some jungle tracks later in his set this was
by far the best drum and bass party Hong Kong has seen to date. Let’s
hope that Koncrete Jungle can continue along, what seems to be, the
path of perfection.
