The original band members have long changed since their formation back in 1990, now only with original member Shyaithan (Vocal/Guitar/Bass) and drummer Necro-Angelfornicator, the band will be accompanied by three new Italian members to complete the band. The venue and ticket prices have not yet been confirmed yet, but the current word on the street is it may be held at Bulungan. We’ll be sure to give black metal fans the latest info about this upcoming concert when it comes to hand.

American psychedelic rock band, hailing from Brooklyn New York, MGMT will be performing at Tennis Indoor Senayan on the 26th of March. The band formed by members Andrew Van Wyngarden (Lead Vocals), Ben Goldwasser (Vocals, Keyboards), Matthew Asti (Bass), James Richardson (Lead Guitar), Will Berman (Drums) are known for their Psychedelic Rock/Pop, Experimental Rock, Neo-Psychedelic Rock and Synthpop hits ‘Time to Pretend’ and ‘Kids’ which landed them the # 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Hotseekers and Grammy nominations for best new artist and best song.

After gaining unprecedented success as a novel and at the box office, the heart touching true story of a band of underprivileged school kids is making its way to the theatrical stage in the form of a musical. Produced by Mira Lesmana and Toto Arto, the show will feature veteran actors and singers such as Dira Sugandi, Lea Simanjuntak and Eka Deli. The young cast playing the main characters of the story will not be those from the big screen version, but a specially handpicked cast of young actors. The task of director has been forwarded to the talented Riri Riza, while the music will be composed by Erwin Gutawa and artistic designs will be handled by Jay Subyakto. The musical will be performed at Teater Jakarta, Taman Ismail Marzuki until the 9th of January 2011. Every Tuesday to Friday shows are available at 7pm while Saturday and Sundays have two shows, at 2pm and 7pm. For more information call tel: (021) 7246225

After word of Sentra Live! bringing Chris Brown and Ne-Yo to Jakarta sometime this month and rumors of how the artists involved declined the offer to perform even though several tickets were already sold, many thought the deal was bust. Sentra Live! has finally shined some light on the matter reporting that the concert is still on but will only feature Ne-Yo and that the date has been pushed back to the 22nd of January. Ne-Yo’s concert will be in part to promote his latest album ‘Libra Scale’ and will be held at Istora Senayan. He will be sharing the stage with local talents Maliq & D’Essentials and Ello. For those who’ve already purchased tickets for the previous concert have the option to return the tickets or to settle to see Ne-Yo minus Chris Brown on stage.

4The soulful vocals of Indonesia’s internationally acclaimed, new-found superstar Sandhy Sondoro will echo through Cascade Lounge at Hotel Mulia Senayan this New Year’s Eve. Sandhy won’t be taking to the stage alone this time, he’ll be sharing the stage with the golden voices of Kelly Levesque and Tyler Hamilton who together form pop opera duo Due Voci. Due Voci and Sandhy will perform the song ‘Love and Tenderness’ which they performed together at Hollywood Paladium Theatre, Los Angeles earlier this year. Get to see this once in a life time performance at the Grand Ballroom of Hotel Mulia. For more information call Hotel Mulia Senayan tel: (021) 5747777 Ext. 4715, 4718, 4720.

Fans of Stone Temple Pilots rejoice! The band is scheduled to rock Jakarta in the month of March. He who does not know the existence of STP (the band, not the motor oil) must have been living in a cave all this time. This San Diego based band formed by members Scott Weilands (vocal), Robert De Leo (bass), Dean de Leo (guitar) and Eric Kretz (drums) will be landing in Jakarta thanks to the efforts of Java Musikindo. They’ll be performing at Carnival Beach Ancol on the 13th of March. Ticket prices are yet to be announced, but knowing how fast Java Musikindo event tickets sell, you best check www.javamusikindo.com to get your hands on early bird tickets.

HAS BEENThe name Anton Wirjono is synonymous with Jakarta and Indonesia’s house music scene. Anton’s rise to fame came when he fronted Parkit’s regular events, performing alongside other DJs in the main area and chill room. After the hype of Parkit faded, Anton introduced rave parties with various concepts, one of which was the Jakarta Movement. Other places that felt the Midas touch of Anton included Poster, Bengkel and Lava Lounge. The house music he presented to the public continued to expand his fan base through events like ’Turn On Plastic’, ’Brightspot Market’ and the famed ’The Junction’ rave party which has become a regular to the Bali lineup of yearly events. Anton never stops dreaming up projects connected with unique concepts tied to music, such as his latest incarnation ’Agrikulture’ plus many others.

IS NoWAnton will be one of the main performers at Immigrant’s New Year’s event which will see the club split into two areas. The other DJ set to share the stage with Anton, who will specifically spin out house beats, will be Miss Fleur Faxy from Holland. This is an event not to be missed.

Wonderful Wow Worthy Worthless Worm fodder

The guitar legend of many decades compiled a list of classic rock tracks for this album, reviving popular songs from the 1960s to 1990s with the help from some friends. Working with India Arie, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, Scott Stapp of Creed, Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots, Chris Daughtry, Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Rob Thomas, Joe Cocker and rapper Nas, Santana has brought together some great talent for some of the best tracks over rock history. It’s an interesting concept and well executed. If you’re a fan these songs might win your heart, but if you want to hear Santana’s undiluted skills, we suggest you switch on to another CD of his excellence.

Compared to their previous album Neon bible, The Canadian post punk act Arcade Fire’s new album feels a little more toned down. It’s not the big fast sound like before, but casually relies on simple riffs, lazy bass lines, calm piano, and deep-haunting vocals. ‘City With No Children’ is the album’s most charming song, borrowing the spirits of Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and The Smiths altogether in a 3 minute long dark lullaby. ‘Month of May’ carries a big dose of punk rock, Ramones-esque side to The Suburbs. Vocalist Win Butler seems to direct the album as a tale of suburban children with deeper enunciation, bitter aphorism of life and memory, sung and recorded to charmingly disturb your comfortable mind.

2011Classical Way

Celebrating

Sheila Victoria Pietno

We have finally reached the end of 2010 and voila: here comes 2011 where hopes of a better future are rising high again. Let us get inspired and start this fantastic New Year in classical way at the Jakarta New Year Concert.

| 045beatmag.com

It has been five years since pianist maestro and composer Ananda Sukarlan first introduced the tradition of a New Year Concert

to Indonesia. From the period of 2006 to 2010, his New Year Concerts have successfully entertained and mesmerized many classical music lovers from Jakarta to Bandung, Yogyakarta and even Bali. This tradition of celebrating New Year actually started in Vienna in 1939, where conductor Clemens Krauss performed an extraordinary concert on December 31st that year, playing all music compositions from the Strauss family. This tradition that was held in the Grober Saal of the Musikverein has been an international phenomenon and it is broadcast around the world to an estimated audience of 50 million people in 72 countries.

Inspired by this, Ananda Sukarlan decided to create one for Indonesia (Jakarta) performing his great composition collections to our local classical music lovers. Last year, he successfully brought in the theme of ‘Pianississimo’ with concerts in Jakarta and Yogyakarta. To continue his success, Ananda presents the same theme for this year ‘Pianississimo 2’.

For 2010 we had six pianists performing on three pianos - twelve hands and sixty fingers performing Ananda Sukarlan’s masterpiece ‘Schumann Psychosis’. This year’s concert Ananda has prepared another stunning composition called ‘Vivaldi’s Winter of Discontent’ – a modern outtake from Vivaldi’s ‘The Four Seasons’. With this new composition, Ananda is trying to build our awareness of global warming and climate discontent on earth that has been going on through his music. This composition has been specially made for four pianos, and will be performed by the winners of the Ananda Sukarlan Award 2010.

Piano is really the main dish of this concert, and Ananda goes even deeper by exploring piano sounds for one hand, two pianists on one piano and two pianos in unison. Young and talented pianists such as Edith Widayani (1st winner of the Ananda Sukarlan Award National Piano Competition 2010), Melivia Citravani Raharjo, Sheila Victoria Pietono and many more will be the stars in this concert.

Nevertheless, the young and talented are not the only stars in this concert. Legendary pianists such as Latifah Kodijat and Charlotte Panggabean (renowned for their famous duet performances on piano) will also rock the stage of this concert. Despite being in their 80’s, they both remain ever young in spirit.

Another interesting aspect of this upcoming concert is the venue that has now moved to the hall inside the National Museum. For those of you who have followed the Ananda Sukarlan musical journey, this concert is definitely not to be missed. And for those of you who have never seen an Ananda Sukarlan concert, well… this is a great place to start. Let us commence 2011 with a good start and of course, great music!

Tak PernahSetengah Hati

Barangkali banyak yang belum ngeh bahwa Teuku Audifitrian baru saja merilis album gres. Dokter yang lebih tenar sebagai penyanyi berjulukan Tompi ini

beberapa pekan silam merilis karya teranyarnya, Tak Pernah Setengah Hati di bawah label E-motion. Komposisi terbaru ini diperkenalkan pertama kali ke publik lewat pesta penerbitan di Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta pada 12 Desember 2010. Keriaan tersebut menjadi makin istimewa terutama dengan kehadiran bintang tamu macam Pandji Pragiwaksono, Andien, serta, ya, Glenn Fredly.

Pada gubahan mutakhirnya pria yang telah beranak dua ini tetap konsisten di jazz, jalur yang telah ditempuhnya sejak mula, plus eksplorasi lebih lebar dengan memasukkan cengkok Dangdut bahkan nge-rap segala. Dan di album ke-4 ini ia mengusung tema cinta dengan kejutan-kejutan menyenangkan di sana-sini yang efektif mengundang senyum. Mengenai kenapa dijuduli Tak Pernah Setengah Hati, ada misi tertentu di balik itu. Selain karena bermusik adalah sebuah proses dari kehidupannya sejak dulu hingga kini, juga untuk menunjukkan orisinalitas dan eksistensi dalam bermusik tanpa harus menjiplak, baik sadar maupun tidak. Dari jajaran tembang macam “Bagaimana Caranya”, “Aku Jatuh Cinta”, “Bukan Pacarmu”, “Aku Sungguh Sungguh”, “Tak Tergoyah”, “Biar Saja”, “Sungguh Mati”, “Bila Aku”, “You’re the One”, dan “Tak Pernah Setengah Hati”, Tompi tersimak lebih matang. Pun tampaknya album ini digarap dengan serius, baik, bagus, serius serta benar. Buktinya Tompi perlu waktu sampai 12 bulan dalam menggarapnya. Hal lain yang pantas dicermati adalah adanya kesan bahwa dirinya bernyanyi seolah sebagai sebuah band serta konsep musik yang dominan. “Saya muncul seperti band. Saya memang ingin menonjolkan mereka tapi tetap saya,” tegasnya.

Saksikan langsung Tompi membawakan lagu-lagu terkininya pada malam tahun baru di Score!, Cilandak Town Square, serta ikuti terus aktivitasnya di www.tompiholics.com.

Known for his unique voice, Tompi has just released his newest album ‘Tak Pernah Setengah Hati’. The launch

party was held at the Hard Rock Cafe on December 12th, with plenty of famous names and guest stars such as Pandji Pragiwaksono, Andien, and Glenn Fredly.

For his fourth album, this licensed doctor stays true to his roots; jazz with a touch of exploration and experimentation such as the inclusion of a Dangdut vocal technique and even rapping. Using a title like Tak Pernah Setengah Hati (never half hearted) he’d like to express to the universe that he’s consistent in being original and serious with his mission. Speaking of serious, it took him over a year to prepare this album. Other than that, it’s clear that he’s striving to give the impression that Tompi is more of a band than a solo artist, although he’s still the leader.

Deklarasi Cupumanik:

GrungeHarga MatiCupumanik itu grunge. Grunge itu Cupumanik. Dua kutub ini bak pantang dipisahkan, terlanjur melekat di identitas Che dan Rekan, yang kemudian menyatu secara alami. Dari situ lalu menyeruak ide untuk menulis tembang sekaligus deklarasi bahwa Cupumanik memang mengusung “rock kotor” (grunge) sekaligus wujud integritas: Grunge Harga Mati. Penerbitannya dibarengi pula dengan peluncuran videoklipnya.

| 051beatmag.com

Sejatinya sejak berpisah dengan label mayor Cupumanik telah bulat bertekad menjalankan ideologi “rock wiraswasta”. Kiat mengarungi blantika musik dengan fpola mirip Do-It-Yourself ini pun dijalankan tak setengah-setengah. Semua lagu milik Cupumanik dibagikan secara cuma-cuma. Tiap dua bulan, mulai Desember 2010, Cupumanik menjadwalkan

diri merilis “bercak rock kotor” secara gratis. Dan hibah “Grunge Harga Mati” bukanlah taktik pemasaran tradisional sejenis “sample gratis” dengan embel-embel tertentu di belakangnya. Tapi ini murni, bebas bea tanpa ikatan apa-apa. Lagu-lagu ke berikutnya, “Luka Bernegara”, “Rockstar Kamuflase”, “Agama Tanpa Tanda Jasa”, “Merah Putih Manifesto”, “Aku Tidak Bisa Tidak Bertuhan”, ya sama saja, tetap bisa diunduh cuma-cuma.

Cupumanik bilang, “Seluruh single yang akan dirilis gratis, dan akan didukung video klip yang juga di-share gratis. Dengan cara seperti itu semua lagu mendapat ‘porsi pamer’ yang sama untuk dikenalkan ke publik. dengan merilis semua single berikut video klipnya, semoga tak akan ada lagi karya lagu yang ‘menderita publisitas.’ Konsep ini ada di jantung strategi kami.”

Sementara itu mengenai klip “Grunge Harga Mati” sang sutradara, Eko HC, menekankan pada sisi transformasi, “Saat pertama kali ditawari menggarap ‘Grunge Harga Mati’ yang paling terpikir adalah perubahan, karena muncul lagi ke publik dengan kisah baru dari major ke indie. Nah, identitas baru yang akan ditampilkan sebagai bom awal. Berlanjut dengan bom berikutnya: fashion statement.” Hal tersebut dipertegas lagi oleh Cupumanik dengan memajang foto 4 sesepuh rock kotor: Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, serta Layne Staley. Ditambah lagi dengan pemilihan lokasi di Rossi Musik Fatmawati yang notabene kerap dipakai sebagai ajang penyelenggaraan konser rock kotor. Klimaks videoklip finalnya ditutup dengan visualisasi kaos bertuliskan “Kaum Kucel”, sebuah istilah yang agresif dimunculkan Cupumanik saat menyebut spesies pengkonsumsi rock kotor ini.

Silakan tonton “Grunge Harga Mati” di YouTube serta simak terus perkembangan Cupumanik di situsnya: www.cupumanikband.com

Cupumanik are back. These Bandung grunge veterans just released their newest single with a video clip, “Grunge Harga Mati” a few days ago. This song is their first ever single after quitting from a major label. It’s also their significant first step to fully apply a kind of Do-It-Yourself ethos. Che, the frontman, said that starting December 2010 they will release one song every two months and give it away a.k.a. free of charge. Another six songs are ready to be distributed thru next year.

The single “Grunge Harga Mati” is like a declaration that Cupumanik is identical to grunge, Cupumanik is grunge itself. They have always been tagged as a grunge band by the public, and it naturally has become their flesh and blood so this time they formally declared it. Regarding the video clip, it basically talks about the transformation that happened with Cupumanik, from major label to an indie band. It is expressed in the clip via the change in their fashion statement.

Check out their newest single & video clip on YouTube. Keep updated with them via www.cupumanikband.com

&BP LOUNGEBATU PANAS STEAK

Kemang is an area that continues to evolve. If you have a keen eye for detail, once in a while you’ll find something out of the ordinary, and this is the story of how I came across this new place. I’ve often noticed a bright orange ‘Batu Panas Steak’ sign each time I pass through Jalan Kemang, but this time I decided to make a stop. The restaurant is on the small side, and the décor fairly basic and casual, but the main attraction here is the food not the atmosphere. Not many places use hot stones as its platter and sell steaks at an affordable price too. Before Batu Panas Steak was located at the nearby Splash complex, but recently it moved to its current location in late May, 2010.

| 059beatmag.com

‘Batu panas’ means ‘hot stone’ in Bahasa and this is what the place specializes in. Ordering the 150g Australian Sirloin (Rp90k), I waited a while for the hot stone to heat up, but when they brought it to my table it was truly a feast for the senses! The steak was put on top of the volcanic hot stone (imported from Germany), and the meat sizzled tantalizingly right in front of me. Because the meat is presented to you raw, you actually decide on how you’d like the steak. I prefer mine to be medium-well. With a dollop of barbeque sauce and herb butter to accompany my steak, the time to engulf the meat began. For me, the herb butter really added a nice touch to the whole taste. The meat is tender and juicy. The selection of steaks is top notch quality. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and loved the whole process and presentation of the meal.

Other than the Australian Sirloin, they also have Tenderloin (RP100K), Rib Eye (RP90K), and don’t pass on their Wagyu Steaks! The Wagyu Tenderloin is priced at Rp170K, while the Wagyu D Rump will set you back Rp125K.

Seafood lovers are not forgotten in this place too; go for the Hot Stone Salmon steak (Rp75K) or King Prawn (Rp130K). You can also have these items grilled, should you prefer it that way. The Spicy Tuna Spaghetti (Rp45K) is also quite a crowd pleaser here, getting many compliments from guests.

Just when I thought there was nothing more this place could offer, I discovered that there was a cozy lounge upstairs called the BP Lounge. My question of why so many nicely dressed people disappeared upstairs was finally answered. I stopped in to sample a Lychee Martini (Rp70K). I was told by the bartender that most of the patrons were regulars of the legendary Zanzibar. The place is a nice area to chill and hang out with your friends and I ended my evening there enjoying the famous Zanzibar’s Illusion (Rp100K) which finished my night in pure bliss.

A great new addition to what Kemang has to offer, Batu Panas Steak and BP Lounge is a great place to stop by if you happen to be passing through.

TAPAS&

Not many can tell you the exact moment of the birth of the tapas, but some suggest that the closest estimate of its origins would probably be sometime in the 18th century. Tapas have evolved along with Spain’s culinary history through the incorporation of ingredients and influences from many different cultures and countries. Ancient Romans, the Moors from North Africa, and the discovery of the New World undoubtedly influenced the development of tapas. Tapas are an extension of the spontaneous Spanish character, chosen and eaten at a whim, accompanied by a light alcoholic beverage, to be shared with family and friends in a friendly and easy-going atmosphere where lively conversation flows.

| 061beatmag.com

The heart of Jakarta is lucky to be graced with the presence of a proper tapas restaurant. The longing to visit Moya has been in my heart for quite some time, having heard good things about this eatery from different sources. Tucked away in a small arcade on Pavillion Apartment, it is probably the only true Spanish restaurant in the city. Recently visiting Moya with a small group of old friends on a Friday night, it was the perfect time to chill and have a relaxing conversation while savoring the Spanish specialties available.The interior is quite impressive, giving a feel as if you’ve been transported to Spain. It was warm and inviting, sophisticated yet relaxed and if you look closely, you’ll find some quirky touches here and there. The prices are on the more expensive side, but then again, authenticity doesn’t come cheap. So if you don’t mind paying a bit extra for a quality meal you will be thoroughly content with what Moya has to offer.Our gracious waitress gave us some suggestions of Moya’s specialties, beginning the experience with a couple of carafes of the famous Moya Sangria (Rp165K) with a selection of tapas plates to be enjoyed between us, all of which were tremendously tasty! We savored some Patatas Bravas (Rp28K); small pieces of potatoes with

a spicy tomato sauce. Next came the Gambas Al Ajillo or sautéed prawns in lemon butter (Rp48K), and Salchica Carne con Hierbas or beef sausages with herbs and to top it off, we ordered the Pollo Estilo Moya (Rp120K) or roast chicken. Of course, we couldn’t go home without trying their famous Paella (Rp120K) which brought to an end one of the best meals I could recall in recent times!Another thing worth mentioning about the place is that the service is excellent, taking good care of their guests without being aggressive or aloof. Something sadly considered a rarity in a big city like Jakarta. The little reunion amongst friends turned out to be a great evening filled with great food, drinks, and merriment! One visit is never enough if you plan to sample every dish that Moya has to offer, so this place will definitely get a revisit from us.

The names of the director and writers for “The Tourist” might not ring any bells, but the two lead characters in this charming rom-com will definitely spark recognition. Two of Hollywood’s most enchanting stars, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, are sure to light up the screen together in this movie. The story itself revolves around the romance and drama between them, with plenty of cat-and-mouse-twists and turns. Moreover, the movie is set in Europe, so sit back and enjoy the lovely scenery.

LiTTLe Fockers

comedy. director: Paul Weitz. Writer: John Hamburg. cast: robert de Niro, Ben Stiller, owen Wilson, Jessica alba, dustin Hoffman,

Barbra Streisand.

Sepuluh tahun telah berlalu bagi Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) untuk bisa “diterima” oleh bapak mertuanya yang sangar, Jack (De Niro). Pekerjaan Greg sebagai seorang perawat selalu membuat Jack melihatnya kurang “pria” untuk bisa menjadi kepala keluarga, ditambah lagi dengan pekerjaan baru Greg yang berhubungan dengan sebuah perusahaan obat bernama buruk. Kembali menjadi bapak mertua yang posesif, konservatif, dan skeptis, Jack melakukan segala misi memata-mati Greg kembali untuk melihat apakah menantu “perawat pria” nya ini memang pantas menjadi kepala keluarga. Semuanya akan ditentukan oleh satu tes terakhir dari sang bapak mertua.

Masih dengan penulis yang sama, mengingat Meet the Parents (2000) dan Meet the Fockers (2004), karakter Jack sang mertua kaku dan menantu prianya, Greg si “perawat pria” pastinya akan membuat kita tertawa lagi karena kekocakan perang mertua-menantu yang sangat berbeda kepribadiannya ini. Yang serunya kali ini, sutradara Paul Weitz (American Pie, About A Boy) akan mengambil alih, bisa dipastikan sekuel kali ini akan kembali mengocok perut kita kenyang akan tawa, walaupun telah enam tahun sejak instalasi terakhirnya. Oh dan kali ini, aktris cantik, Jessica Alba akan ikutan menambah warna seksi di film ini juga loh. Biar asyik, ajak serta mertua atau calon mertuamu sekalian untuk nonton bareng film ini!

Think of Ben Stiller (Zoolander, Tropic Thunder) and Robert De Niro on screen together, and I’ll bet the first thought that might cross your mind would be Greg and Jack from Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers. Six years after the last installment, the male nurse and his uptight father-in-law will bring back all the Focker family comedy in the third movie of the Focker trilogy. This time, Greg will need to pass Jack’s final test and show that he has what it takes to be the head of the house. With director Paul Weitz (In Good Company, American Dreamz) and a stellar supporting cast including Owen Wilson, Dustin Hoffman, Barbra Streisand, and Jessica Alba, be careful not to drop your popcorn bucket from laughing too loud!

dengan Elise (Angelina Jolie). Elise ternyata bukanlah wanita biasa, polisi telah membuntuti dirinya selama dua tahun untuk bisa menangkap pacarnya yang telah terlibat skandal pelarian uang 2 milyar dolar. Seiring benih asmara tumbuh di antara mereka berdua, perjalanan mereka pun menjadi sebuah permainan kejar-kejaran menegangkan dalam menghindari polisi dan juga mafia yang uangnya dibawa kabur oleh pacar Elise.

Siapa yang tidak kenal dengan dua artis menawan dari Hollywood ini? Angelina Jolie bisa dibilang fantasi setiap pria, dan Johnny

Depp juga menjadi idaman banyak wanita di dunia. Walaupun jajaran nama sutradara dan penulis tidak begitu dikenal khalayak, namun kedua nama masyur

pemainnya pastinya akan membuat kita penasaran dan mengharapkan adegan-adegan seksi dan menegangkan yang membuat kagum. Dikarenakan ini bukanlah film full action, dan akan ada banyak adegan-adegan drama yang menjadi inti cerita, maka cobalah untuk tidak terlalu menaruh ekspektasi tinggi juga. Nikmati saja keseksian dua orang Hollywood A list ini!

Fashion Meets Technology

in Bazaar FashionConcerto 2010

It’s been a decade Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia has been published. It’s been a decade Harper’s Bazaar has colored up Indonesian fashion. It’s been a decade Harper’s Bazaar has reported fashion through its eyes.

Ari Seputra

Sofie

Oka Diputra

10 seemed to be the magic number for this year’s Fashion Concerto. This year was the fourth Fashion Concerto, which also celebrated the 10th anniversary of Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia. 10 chosen designers participated in this regular event that is held once every two years.

What made this Fashion Techno special was that it injected several new technologies that had never been applied in previous Fashion Concertos such as in the lighting, live music and multimedia that accompanied the fashion show. The sound of electro music with synthesizer was also often heard during the show. The designers also created their masterpieces with the touch of the futuristic.Those heroes who presented their designs were Ari Seputra, Deden Siswanto, Denny Wirawan, Kiata Kwanda, Oka Diputra, Sally Koeswanto, Sapto Djojokartiko, Sofie, Susan Budihardjo, and Wita for BIN House.

Deden Siswanto’s collection came first with his alien-looking models covered with copper bodypainting and towering hairdos. They came complete with robotic movements and emotionless expressions. Sofie designed her collection in dimensional designs with insect-like ensembles with motifs of butterfly wings. Most of her designs were presented in black and white, but she also added other colors such as red and orange like the one Dewi Sandra wore in her performance. Kiata Kwanda had his own perception of “techno-look” preferring simplicity with red bows popping up as details in the back of his black dresses. He was a bit different from other designers that night who mostly related the word “techno” with Alien, steel and even Lady Gaga.

Sally Koeswanto

Sapto Djojokartiko

Denny Wirawan

Deden Siswanto

Sally Koeswanto offered simpler attire but didn’t leave out the alien-like portrayal. Some of Sally’s designs were not too complicated so it looked wearable. Light comes after dark. After the serious expression on the model and dark lighting, Wita for BIN House lightened up the mood with her collection dominated with white. It had gold as the accent and the models smiled and danced cheerfully with Sherina singing in the background.

I guess Sapto’s ideas could be labeled as the most unique amongst the collections that night. He applied the assembly technique that coordinated hard material like wood with fabric. Sapto said that the technique was used to add organic character into his designs. It is also reflected people who wanted to “fly”.

Oka Diputra brought an imaginative underwater atmosphere to his collection. Bulb lamps on the dresses grabbed the attention, it replicated the shining tentacles of sea creatures. Ari Seputra mixed the illustration of tribal and techno. This African-esque concept was strengthened by bright colors in the makeup, accessories and clothes. Colorful bird feathers also were included as the accent.

In Susan Budihardjo collection, femininity was clearly found. It looked clean with the right amount of details so it wouldn’t be too much. She colored each of the dresses with one tone, then sweetened it with cute accessories like the headpiece and bangles. Also, the shoes were also interesting for those who love to look girly. The feminine concept was also strengthened by the song “Akulah Wanita” by Dewi Sandra at the end of Susan’s presentation.

A marching band emerged to open the fashion show of Denny Wirawan collection. It gave a hint on what the collection theme was going to be. Denny was inspired by a military look and the models looked like a group of lovely soldiers. No one at Fashion Concerto mixed the colors as gorgeously as Denny did. His sense of matching gold with other colors like bright red, maroon and turquoise was incredible.

Portico was not alone in participating in this program as they were supported by LINGGARseni Gallery.The challenge of having an exhibition at Portico was that most of the restaurant was made of glass.

Fortunately, the duo’s artworks blended brilliantly with the area and atmosphere. The artworks that were exhibited here were photographs – printed on aluminum – of big fake clouds resembling toothpaste twirls with various outdoor backgrounds. The benefit of hanging them on a glass background was that people were given the feel of ‘a perfect cloud’, despite the rain outside. This would not be possible if they were hung on an ordinary white gallery wall.Sculptures of clouds were also exhibited on the terrace area of the restaurant, equipped with blue LED lamps that resembled city lights. While feathers illuminated by bright lamps were hung from the ceiling. For guest coming to the restaurant at night, snowflake-shaped neon lamps decorated the exterior of the glass wall facing the street – giving a feel of a white Christmas in Jakarta.

Instead of having the usual curatorial note, Melissa Sunjaya completed her solo exhibition with a charming story.

Melissa Sunjaya, the founder of Tulisan brand, held her solo exhibition titled “Ruba’iyat of Amma Supahilo” held at Artsphere Gallery, Darmawangsa Square. The exhibition itself consisted of twelve single edition screen-printed illustrations telling the story of Melissa’s reflections regarding the most precious matters of her feeble life.The story begins with Melissa’s encounter with a girl in her sleep who gave her a poem similar to a ruba’iyat (Persian Rhyming stanza consisting of four lines). The poem giving girl’s name was Amma Supahilo. She told Melissa that if she can decipher the poem, all of her nightmares would

end and her heart will stay awake. Awakening from the dream, Melissa created sketches with her pen based on the dreamed ruba’iyat. The story of the ruba’iyat deciphering sketches carry on through all her exhibited works of art. Her vintage aesthetic combined with Russian’s Cyrillic influenced typography adds a quirkiness to her narration.

The exhibition also marks the first anniversary of Tulisan, Melissa’s brand of handmade fashion items based on her illustration. Visitors can also take home a piece of the magic through limited edition screen-printed canvas tote bags. A percentage of the proceeds from the exhibition or Tulisan products bought will be donated to the victims of Merapi and Mentawai.

DECoDING EMIRIA SoENASSA THRouGH THE TRAIL oF HER MySTERyEven though she has been named as one of the most prominent women in Indonesian art history, Emiria Soenassa is relatively unknown compared to Sudjojono and Affandi – her colleagues in Persagi, an artist organization under the Dutch administration.To bring her name back to the public’s eye, Bentara Budaya have been exhibiting Emiria Soenassa’s paintings in Yogyakarta for several months and now in Jakarta.

Born Emiria Emma Wihelmina Pareira in 1890’s, Emiria Soenassa was the daughter of Tidore’s Sultan, a monarch in North Sulawesi. Living prosperously didn’t satisfy the young Emiria, rebelling against her father’s traditional values and flew to Europe to marry a foreign ambassador. By that time, she learned about art.

After a divorce, she returned to Indonesia to start her career as a painter. Even without the support of her family, she continued to produce her works of art. Joining the Indonesian Drawing Experts Association in 1938 she finally exhibited her artwork with 29 other local painters in Bond Kunstringen. When Indonesia came under Japanese rule, Emiria, was the one and only female painter in an exhibition held at Keimin Bunka Shidoso, the Japanese cultural center.

She was a woman beyond her time. While most

artists were only interested in using woman as the painting’s object, she took a different approach: turning the woman into creator.

Her down-to-earth painting method gave her artworks a feminist tone. Most of the objects in her paintings were Indonesian women from native stories and figures from the middle-low class carrying on with their daily activities. She depicted men from Papua, Balinese women as well as Sulawesi women in her paintings and all featured their own cultural icons such as dresses and head wear. Her point of view of these aspects made her a visionary in modern Indonesian art..

In every painting, Emiria always shows her intimacy with the object. Her oil paintings etch strong emotions, yet are kept natural with pastel dominated colors. Considering the paintings of that era were more extravagant in the use of colors, her artwork seems naïve and primitive. Her paintings were spontaneously done using large strokes on the canvas, a big no-no at that time. Consequently, Mooi Indie painters criticized her work. Nevertheless, she continued creating with her unique style until her ‘disappearance’ during the sixties which was due to untimely passing in 1964.

A solo exhibition of her work was showing fromDec. 9-18 at the Bentara Budaya, Jakarta.

You now feel a strong pull towards something new and different in your life. Not only do you have a better chance of success, but the fun and enthusiasm is infectious. If you are given a chance be sure to make the most of it, with dedication you'll have success. A newcomer may stir your interest in a particular subject or will reignite an old flame. If you are determined to make your mark and impress others, take care of your image. If you have been feeling emotionally neglected or physically isolated, expect the void to be filled. You are emerging from an emotional cloud and, with Venus in your sign, will enjoy harmony and happiness. Something that was not to your liking could take on a new slant, when you realise the full potential of the offer.

There may be an urge to live in the moment and be less inclined to worry about trivial issues. You will be happiest when you feel loved and needed, hence you should mix with people who hold you in high regard. Present time will boost your ego and enthusiasm, and a venture you start will be both successful and satisfying. If you feel young at heart, it suggests that a night out is the ideal setting for locking eyes with your lover. The energy is fairly light-hearted and you will fare better if you skim the surface of the situation. Creativity and colours are sure to grab your eye and you will do something wonderful with them. If you feel emotionally isolated or physically tried, indulge yourself and nurture your own needs.

Uncertainty and delays have several advantages, they finally enable you to get to the bottom of complex problem. Your wisdom and foresight can be used in positive ways by passing on advice to others or avoiding past mistakes. A twist of fate or common sense decision helps to make your life easier or happier. If you've been bewildered about something or someone, you'll feel more certain about what action to take. Your self-awareness is finely tuned and you have the ability to pull ideas, resolutions and tactics out of the air. You will want to get ahead and will figure quick and clever ways to get around things. Take your time when it comes to making important decisions, as you will need to be comfortable with the outcome.

You may discover that your suspicions, fears or worries were unfounded and your anxiety levels will plummet. Pause and reflect on aspects of your life that need to be developed or improved. It may be time to mention something that you've been keeping to yourself. You will be feeling stronger and more able to communicate. Your intuition will be spot-on, so use it to sort out any issues that have recently held you back, or confused you. A window of opportunity is about to open, allowing you to expand on an idea or network with new people. There may be some doubters to deal with, but you will put forward a convincing plan or argument. People you enjoy spending time with bring you out of your shell and validate the choices you made.

Capricorn

You'll be highly tuned to the material world and you will also have a greater awareness of your body's needs at this time. This period begins with you resolving to make more money and achieve more success, but not until you've had a chance to bargain-hunt. Financial goals can be reached with some planning. An urge to own things, rather than rent or window shop is growing stronger. Material issues come to the forefront and the message is you must be shrewd to succeed. Material comfort and personal happiness will be high on your list of priorities, and the more monotonous chores should be put on the backburner. You can expect to have the last laugh when slowly but surely others warm to your plans.

This is your time to shine and there will be more money coming your way to support your plans and goals. You might opt for a mini-makeover or break or seek out that promotion, pay increase or luxury purchase. Financially, you'll need to draw the line with a special occasion or gift before it gets out of control. It is a period that is filled with many exciting and wonderful opportunities. Be prepared to grab success and ride it into the future with enthusiasm. You'll be in a money-making mode. If you follow through, the accomplishment you make will be lucrative. Planets usher in many wonderful opportunities, though you need to pick and choose with care. You should get the financial ball rolling now or you could miss out on an opportunistic investment, income boost or creative enterprise.

Perfect time for catching up on old email or other messages that need replies. Every now and then you need to just clear them all away, even if that means just deleting and forgetting about them. It's a good time to sit down and rethink recent developments. Your ability to focus is strong and you ought to be able to figure out a few new angles that will make you glad you spent the time. Your opinions are hardly set in stone, though you do like to see hard evidence before changing your mind -- that is to say, you're eminently sensible. You meet someone new who turns you around on some subject. Emails are efficient and convenient, but the best way to get across a message is still to talk it out in person.

You've plenty to say right now and exactly the right words to say it. It's a great time to communicate your needs to whom ever is at hand -- they are much more likely to be receptive to your needs. You may need to make a few calls or send a few emails to track down that one person you need to reach. If it's a long-lost relative, you may surprise your family with your tenacity and resourcefulness! Your way with words is quite powerful now and you may find it much simpler to communicate your feelings and ideas, especially if you take a bit of time to focus your thoughts before proceeding. Try not to let other people interfere with your plans -- as long as you are able to express yourself clearly, you should be able to get your way.

A softening of your stance or views helps you see someone in a more positive light. You are among the lucky one, you may cash in on someone's absence, blunder or cancelled deal. Because you are in an affable life cycle, there will be no malice in information exchanged or passed on to others. Start by discussing your concerns and follow up with direct action. Planet is about to impact positively on relationships. An opportunity may present itself and while you are realistic about the temporary nature of it, you will be powerless to resist. Contact with someone you've been struggling to stay in touch with will open communication lines. You are in a caring sharing cycle and rather than shooting from the hip, you will wisely consult with others before making major decisions.

Romance and love relationships are strongly favoured this period and you can make use of the awareness that surrounds you to enhance your love life. Show them some sensitivity and generosity and they will do the same for you if the tables are turned. Do as you would be done to. Nothing is more important to you than a fillip of gossip and you seek the company of people who share your gift of gab. Now is not the time to procrastinate, but to take action and work on your plans and ideas for excellent results. A trip will take you to a place that will inspire you to move forward with financial plans that you have been contemplating. A certain amount of travel is indicated and something that you have been longing for will happen at this time. Your persuasive ability will help you gain the support you need. A trip will lead to someone from your past.

It is an excellent period for your social life so get out there and visit friends and join in with groups and associations. This should be a fun and carefree time, so go out, party, and enjoy yourself! It suggests that life is going to flow a little more smoothly where love and wealth are concerned. You strive to protect or nourish others. Partnerships fare well and you tend to flow emotionally with events. It may herald the beginning of an unusual new love affair and/or friendships with individuals who will broaden your personal horizons as never before. Focus on doing those things you love to do. What makes your heart sing? Invite friends around and watch a comedy movie. You will feel lighter all round!

Get set to charm the heck out of everybody you meet. Who could possibly resist you? Discipline yourself when it comes to a creative project and you could move quickly. You should take a brief break to assess and make adjustments to your priorities or relationships. Until you see with your heart and assert your independence, you could remain burdened by your own unrealistic expectations of fear, guilt or embarrassment. As long as you’re enjoying yourself and not hurting anyone, you’re golden. You could be introduced to someone exciting. Although you could be very busy with work or other concerns, try to be open to meeting new people. Let yourself bite off more than you think you can chew, because you should find reserves of energy you didn’t know you had.

Your entourage will be able to communicate with you more effectively, and by working together, you’ll be able to get a lot done. You may have to take matters into your own hands if communication or inhibition is an issue. Others might help you succeed in unexpected ways. Take chances to get ahead. You’re so confident, you could lead a confidence seminar. Maybe you will! And soon! If you can keep things simple, you will stand a better chance of getting a few things done. Next, reward yourself and unwind with the easy social atmosphere that you crave. You may find that your people have ideas, but if you think for a few minutes, you’re sure to come up with your own. With a little effort, you’ll learn something new - big or small.

A fresh perspective lets you see weird issues in a new way, and might also help you explain things to a good friend. In fact, you might be able to turn a bad situation quickly. If you have any presentations to make, you’ll be able to express your thoughts clearly and pleasantly. It’s fine for you to explore the issues in your life that confuse you the most. It’s the best possible time to try out new activities to see if you like them - your mind is wide open, your energy is flexible and you should be in the best possible mood. Broaden your horizons! You’re feeling pretty great about your schedule, even if it’s got things like dentist appointments or job interviews cluttering up the fun. It is all about new ideas, and you’re best off adopting them early on.

Don’t expect any unusual surprises on the professional front! Things trundle along without interference. It’s an ideal time to stop worrying, and cultivate that zen outlook. It may be a good idea to do your own thing until you run out of inspiration, then just hide out or go home. You need to use some of that great energy to take care of your own business, no matter how many requests come your way from outside. You’re bursting with great energy, and now is the best time to make life a little easier to handle. Tidy up, rearrange things or institute a new organizational system. You amaze coworkers and family! You may finally have gotten your bearings - just in time to help others do the same!

You may find yourself interacting quite naturally so relax and enjoy yourself. It feels as if you’re running on autopilot, but that almost certainly works out to your advantage. You can feel the good energy flow through you as you take care of the most routine tasks and responsibilities. Use that creative energy! You see the truth for what it is, and it will certainly open your eyes. From this point onwards you will know exactly what you have to do. You will now be prepared to put heart, body and soul into all that you do and this tremendous effort will not go unnoticed. It’s one of those times when it’s great to be you, but almost as good to be one of your entourage. Your energy is better spent on positive activities now.

You now feel a strong pull towards something new and different in your life. Not only do you have a better chance of success, but the fun and enthusiasm is infectious. If you are given a chance be sure to make the most of it, with dedication you'll have success. A newcomer may stir your interest in a particular subject or will reignite an old flame. If you are determined to make your mark and impress others, take care of your image. If you have been feeling emotionally neglected or physically isolated, expect the void to be filled. You are emerging from an emotional cloud and, with Venus in your sign, will enjoy harmony and happiness. Something that was not to your liking could take on a new slant, when you realise the full potential of the offer.

There may be an urge to live in the moment and be less inclined to worry about trivial issues. You will be happiest when you feel loved and needed, hence you should mix with people who hold you in high regard. Present time will boost your ego and enthusiasm, and a venture you start will be both successful and satisfying. If you feel young at heart, it suggests that a night out is the ideal setting for locking eyes with your lover. The energy is fairly light-hearted and you will fare better if you skim the surface of the situation. Creativity and colours are sure to grab your eye and you will do something wonderful with them. If you feel emotionally isolated or physically tried, indulge yourself and nurture your own needs.

Uncertainty and delays have several advantages, they finally enable you to get to the bottom of complex problem. Your wisdom and foresight can be used in positive ways by passing on advice to others or avoiding past mistakes. A twist of fate or common sense decision helps to make your life easier or happier. If you've been bewildered about something or someone, you'll feel more certain about what action to take. Your self-awareness is finely tuned and you have the ability to pull ideas, resolutions and tactics out of the air. You will want to get ahead and will figure quick and clever ways to get around things. Take your time when it comes to making important decisions, as you will need to be comfortable with the outcome.

You may discover that your suspicions, fears or worries were unfounded and your anxiety levels will plummet. Pause and reflect on aspects of your life that need to be developed or improved. It may be time to mention something that you've been keeping to yourself. You will be feeling stronger and more able to communicate. Your intuition will be spot-on, so use it to sort out any issues that have recently held you back, or confused you. A window of opportunity is about to open, allowing you to expand on an idea or network with new people. There may be some doubters to deal with, but you will put forward a convincing plan or argument. People you enjoy spending time with bring you out of your shell and validate the choices you made.

Financially, no matter how much opposition there may be to your ideas, you will persevere and succeed in achieving your ways. A perfect time to examine financial and investment strategies and review situations. Respectively, you have a chance to put your talent and intelligence to the test in boosting your financial income. There is a lot of interesting and invigorating information available to you to build up on your finances. Follow your financial instincts without being distracted, as something exciting could happen to influence an important financial decision. Your changeable attitude and ability to see how fortunes are being made will lead to very successful decisions.

Refine your thoughts, review current obligations and consult with close ones about future financial situations. Financially stop talking about what you want to do and start doing things to increase your wealth. Use this period to study situations that can open new doors to opportunities for you financially. Your ideas will be on grand scale, but your means and abilities to carry them out may not be enough. Don’t make a commitment just yet.

Feb 19 – March 20 Jan 21 - Feb 18 Dec 22 - Jan 20

You could feel stimulated and inspired. You’ll have a lot of physical energy, and you could even feel a bit manic! Try to center yourself. A good thing that you can count on provides you with tenacity and courage. You may have a hard time keeping up with the flow of activity - but not because you’re disorganized! It’s just a bit much, though by the end of the period, you should have a better sense of what’s important. Stress from overwork or too much exercise could have you feeling under the weather, and you could well appreciate a little tender loving care. You need excitement and you may seek out unusual and stimulating situations. You feel restless, wanting to do something new.

Your ability to keep going when your friends and coworkers fade is legendary, and you are so energized right now that you may need to just pass them by early on. That’s not to say that success is impossible, merely that your guarded nature should help you make the best of it. Your willpower is never in question, but you may have to get your friends to confirm it through a staring contest or something similar. There’s a lot going on that you can’t see, but that doesn’t mean that you need to give up or walk away. You might actually be able to keep going all night at this rate. Your great, fiery energy feels as if it’s limitless, and your friends are sure to drop off eventually. You may be busy now or at least more attuned to your career or social role.

Under this auspicious influence, qualities are emerging in you that will allow you to surpass yourself, to reach your goals and to lead your projects to a successful conclusion. You keep pushing yourself toward success, and can tell that things are getting better and better. Your efficiency matches your energy, so you may need to start looking for new projects soon! It’s the best possible time to start a new exercise routine, start eating more vegetables or whole grains or just recommit yourself to healthy living. You can make almost any system work! It’s a really good time to make new friends and allies,and connecting with others is always beneficial. The people around you may not know what’s up, exactly, but they are sure to see that you’re heading in the right direction.

You will now either have the strength and stamina to make excellent progress towards achieving goals, or aimlessly fritter away all this energy. Opportunities arise in your professional life that might well improve your situation beyond your expectations. You may find that you’re getting more respect than usual - so work it! Your altruistic tendencies are engaged right now, and if you don’t find at least one good deed to perform, you feel as if you might explode! Fortunately, there is always a need. It’s okay to run with your ambitions - in fact, you just don’t feel right unless you’re working on something that’s a big deal to you. In the work environment, there could be some good news, an unexpected development, a large order, a project suddenly getting approval, or simply a change of perspective offering you a new sense of freedom!

Boredom should not be a problem, even if you’re locked in a routine that has been a part of your life for a long time. You need to let your friends and coworkers know that you’re no doormat, but it’s hard! It is forcing you to look back upon past mistakes you have made and find ways to atone for those mistakes. Look for undercurrents, not everyone may be on the level with you, or are you withholding something? It’s a good time to call in the cavalry, though it may take quite some time for them to arrive. If you have put in the necessary effort you can probably see the foundations taking shape before your very eyes. You’ve got more discipline than a drill team, and right now you need every bit of it to force yourself to take care of vital business.

Just be sure you have new solution to old problems before you agree to anything. Go with the flow, chill out and gather strength for what’s to come. It may be difficult to get people involved - with patience on you part they will see the light. You may need to tweak the finer details but overall you will have a strong sense of direction. Your attitude towards others will have more impact if you treat others with respect. Deep down you feel the urge to put your life in order and correct past mistakes. If you can truly recognize and appreciate facts, your reward will be all the greater. You choose to keep some elements of your personality to yourself. Take small steps rather than giant leaps and do not lose sight of a goal.

A larger arrival hall is said to hopefully be in operation before the end of December 2010. The larger arrival hall is expected to help reduce bottlenecks for waiting visitors which tend to occur when several planes arrive within a close time proximity. The peak hours when

lines are said to be at their worst occur between 2 pm and 5 pm when arrivals from Singapore, China, Hong Kong and Australia converge on Bali’s sole air gateway. In addition to a larger arrival hall passengers will also be given free mineral water and amplified music to reduce the stress of waiting in line, but the question of whether more immigration officers will be added remains unclear.

REVIEWREVIEWREVIEW

Recently established Cocoon Beach Club has brought a little touch of the Med to happening Double Six Beach, causing quite a stir amongst residents and visitors alike. Dan Ashcroft stopped by to see what all the buzz is about...

Cocoon

| 087beatmag.com

What exactly is it that defines a beach club? Is it the food? The proximity to the beach? The bright, breezy and laid-back atmosphere? If it’s a combination of all of those things, then Cocoon certainly ticks all the right boxes.

Strolling up the sweeping steps to the reception area one hot Seminyak afternoon I’m immediately struck by the open, white interior and relaxed cool ambience. Chill-out tunes spill lazily from the speakers as the friendly and efficient wait staff escort me over to a table on the lower floor of the split-level premises. Cocoon has been purposely designed so that wherever you choose to park yourself - be it inside or poolside - you can’t help but take in the dazzling white sands and deep blue of the Indian Ocean whilst grazing away the afternoon.

There are dedicated menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner depending on what time of the day you stop by. Being mid afternoon I’m up for something a little lighter, and check out the ever-evolving grazing menu. Chef Stephen Moore has created an incredible mix of Mediterranean style dishes - all perfect for sharing with a few friends or family. To kick things off I order a cold drink and the grilled flatbread with homemade dips (Rp45k/each) - in this case mixed marinated olives, marinated goat’s cheese, babaganoush and chickpea puree. It would be easy to snack on this all day but I manage to reign in the temptation and leave some room for the next serving of cauliflower, goat’s curd and wild rocket salad (Rp 75k). Scattered with pomegranate seeds and a few splashes of balsamic on a long serving dish it’s a delicious mix of flavours and textures. Next up comes the tuna tartare with poached quail eggs and wonton crackers (Rp 75k), the soft tuna combining perfectly with the crunchy crackers. Last up I go for a touch of local sweet with the salad of fresh lychee (Rp 75k) topped off with crunchy merangue pieces and fresh orange sorbet.

Cocoon is a fantastic place to hang out at any time of the day, with families, individuals and party animals alike well catered for. Be sure to check out Cocoon Beach Club this coming Christmas and New Year’s Eve, where they offer a wonderful Christmas Lunch (990k++) and on NYE a magical night of transformation, the entire beach club will be transformed into a tantalizing dreamscape boudoir of burlesque and piquant frivolity - Degustation Menu 1.3++ plus other general admission options available.

Another Pancake High

Japanese Style Rock

Not satisfied with only serving pancakes in Sanur and Kuta,

Flapjaks has opened another chain store in Petitenget right in front of the Ivory Resort. The grand opening party featured a fashion show and flair show, plus a gelato eating and beer drinking competition with several lucky winners going home with great prizes.

Indonesia’s equivalent to Japanese rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel, J-Rock made their way to Kama Sutra to perform for a horde of their adoring

fans. The band performed many of their hits including their remake of the classic hit ‘Madu & Racun’. The fans had a special surprise for J-Rock as they presented a birthday cake to celebrate the band’s 7th anniversary.

Souls Reach Heaven

However bad the rain pours down on the island, the relentless mob of clubbers will always make

their way to the most happening place. Cocoon was chosen by Soul Heaven head honcho Louie Vega to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his label and what a celebration it was. With great house music led by Louie himself and a large crowd, everybody forgot about the slight drizzle on their heads.
