Jakarta hosting major DJ events

Joseph Mangga, Contributor, Jakarta

Club culture is certainly still alive and well here in Jakarta,
as Bentoel Mild is sponsoring two -- count `em -- two separate DJ
events in the capitol city this Friday evening.

First off, rising DJ star Max Graham will be spinning his
special brand of dance music magic at Stadium Disco in Hayamwuruk
area in West Jakarta, which is also celebrating its 5th
anniversary.

Originally from Canada, Graham has carved out an impressive
niche for himself as one of the most "progressive" of the new
"progressive trance" DJ artists.

Combining dark, sexy and funky tech-house grooves into a
distinctive style all his own, Graham is being hailed by many as
the next Sasha or Digweed. Tribal trance DJ legend Nick Warren
said, "Max Graham will be a worldwide success in two to three
years time, his music is the hottest in the UK right now."

Also on the night's agenda is FLIGHT 388, a massive all-night
mega-rave at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Terminal 3)
featuring a veritable who's who of Jakarta's greatest DJ talents,
including DJ's Naro, Romi, Anton, Irwan, Wingky, Erfan and Riri.

The event will take place in a secure airplane hanger (ex-
Indonesian Air Show) equipped with 5000 watts of sound, laser-
show, sexy-dancers, and of course air-conditioning. The venue
will be split into two areas: a main room with progressive house,
tribal an electro-techno; and a down-tempo area showcasing chill-
out and classic house.
