\nrestricted to media only, so take your chances.<\/p>\n
Next up, in celebration of the birthday the undisputed king of

\nDharmawangsa Square, South Jakarta, where Clubhoppers (Indika
\n91.45 FM) and Pepsi Blue present UK DJ Jo Mills, the resident DJ
\nat Circoloco in Ibiza and Pasha in London. Last year Mills blew
\nsome serious hearts and minds when she lit up Embassy's main room
\nlike few other DJs have done before with her hard-hitting
\nselection of pumping percussive progressive house. She'll
\nprobably spin around 1 a.m.<\/p>\n

\nAlila Hotel that will feature DJs Teddy, Oki, Romy and Winky in
