I’m performing at an SL Relay For Life event tomorrow (May 20th) to benefit the American Cancer Society. Proceedings start at 1:30 pm (PDT) and I’ll be on between 2:45 and 4:00 pm. Here’s more info about the event. And here’s an SLURL to the Nantucket Yacht Club. It’s for a worthy cause, so please donate freely.
I’ll be doing a two hour show at the Coke Pavilion in SL as part of the Virtual Thirst concert series from 5-7 PM (PDT), tomorrow May 15th. Blowing for two hours straight would leave me a bit winded, so I’ll preview the upcoming Asian Variations album in the first hour and do my set in the second. Come on over for the first public airing of my latest remix: André van Rensburg – You And Me (Under The Speaker Tree Mix).
Em. and I made a day last Sunday of attending the T.K. Rock Festival here in Taichung. This 2 day festival showcases some of the best of Taiwan’s rock and hiphop acts on five stages. The T.K. of the title refers to the term “TaiKe” – it used to be a derogatory term for Taiwanese locals, but it has since been rehabilitated and is now used with pride to mean the same.
Jui-Chuan Chang performed on Saturday, but unfortunately I couldn’t attend – maybe just as well, since we had the first heavy rain of the year on Saturday and it poured for most of the afternoon and evening. According to friends who did go on Saturday, the rain did little to dampen spirits though – apparently A-Mei, who headlined Saturday’s proceedings, was amazing.
On Sunday, though, I managed to catch Kou Chou Ching. They did my remix version of Tiu Tiu Ssu Hsiang Chi – how cool to see it performed live and on a kick-ass sound system to boot. My favorite performers of the evening were F.I.R. and Wu Bai. I saw Wu Bai for the first time at last year’s TK Rock – to my mind, he more than deserves his title as Taiwan’s Emperor of Rock. He’s a Class A showman with some awesome tunes!
Here’s a vid. of Kou Chou Ching performing my remix:

So, that would be next weekend and I’m on from 12am to 1am (PDT) on Sunday morning.
Here’s the SLURL for URBANE.
I mentioned in the previous post that I worked quickly on this track. It is intended for a remix contest DJ Doubledown Tandino (Brad Reason) is hosting in Second Life, and with the deadline a mere two days away I had no choice but to work fast. If you do SL at all, or know anyone who does, please head on over to Menorca this coming Sunday (April 22nd) at 12pm PDT to vote for my Do Re Mix.
Your help is sorely needed, since the time of the voting party translates to 4am on Monday morning here in Taiwan – I guess I shouldn’t count on too much support from the home crowd ;^)
Whatever the outcome of the contest, I’ve had fun doing the track and have more material for a full-length MoShang remix album due out in a couple of months and tentatively entitled Asian Variations… more info to follow.
Have a listen to the Do Re Mix in the MoShang Radio sidebar player (now Track 1).
