Festival Gurus Talk CLOCKENFLAP | ULTRA KOREA | STORM By: Tim Ku

Music, art, and lifestyle: three elements that complement each other perfectly, and are undoubtedly irreplaceable in life. In the recent years, large-scaled outdoor music festivals have been on the rise, and had expanded from their original purpose of performing and sharing music, into an intricate merge with the aesthetics of art and creativity. The marriage of music and art creates new sparks that symbolize, an attitude and an experience. Outdoor music festivals have been around for many years, and throughout the past decade or so, Asia is taking the initiative and is beginning to leap onto the festive bandwagon. Hong Kong's list of the hottest and most anticipated music fests this year include Clockenflap, Shanghai's Storm Music Festival and Ultra Korea. We had the opportunity to talk to the masterminds behind the music festivals, as they share with us the most intimate details that go on behind the scene and the stage.

FESTIVAL GURUS TALK

Justin Sweeting

Music Director@ Clockenflap Music Festival

f we are going to talk about the highest ranking music festivals in Hong Kong, then Clockenflap Music and Arts Festival is surely going to be high up on the list. Clockenflap was founded

by Jay Forster, Mike Hill and Justin Sweeting in 2008, and ever since its very first show, the performance line-ups and stage productions are constantly perfected and of top-notch quality. In 2013, Clockenflap became a three-day long event, and on the very first day of the festival, there was already a stunning total of 20,000 entries, earning its name as 2013’s ‘Hong Kong’s most anticipated and high-profile outdoor music festival’. We had the honour of

talking to Justin Sweeting, cofounder of Clockenflap, about the festival.

Sweeting described the three-day long extravaganza as a “magical weekend”, as Clockenflap meant more to him than merely a music festival.

“We created Clockenflap to give people a ‘Clockenflap experience’, and compiled the elements of life that we held most dear to ourselves: music, art, people, scrumptious food, the laughter of people around us, spending time with our families, and so many more.

We wanted to re-create the perfect weekend right here in Hong Kong”. It had already been nine years since the founding of Clockenflap. Sweeting stated that he had originally started out in the music industry, and to some extent, the hardships he

had experienced then prompted him to seek for people with similar thoughts, and to create a music festival altogether. That was when he decided to deviate away from what people back home were doing. “The first step will naturally lead to the second step, and I am learning and absorbing constantly. I love what I do, and who I work with, and when everything comes together the way it does, being passionate towards life and what I work for becomes the only natural thing I would do”.

Fans, musicians and producers have Clockenflap on the top of their annual ‘to-go’ list. Behind the steady increasing glory and success, Sweeting claims that producing a successful music festival is not a hefty goal, but instead, he sees it as a legitimate demand:

要數近年香港最炙手可熱

藝術、人群、美食、歡笑聲、與家人在

並不是甚麼遙遠的目標，反而是他

的音樂節，Clockenflap一定榜上

Jay Forster、Mike Hill和Justin Sweeting三人於2008年創辦，由第 一屆音樂節至今，每年的演出單位 陣容與舞台設置規模都在不斷精益 求精。直至2013年，Clockenflap由

為期兩天增至三天，並於首天錄得 超過二萬人次的入場人數，近年更

一起的時光以及更多，即使在香港 立了Clockenflap，原來已經來到第 九個年頭，Justin說他本來是個音

樂人，而當初入行的原因，某程度上

可能是這條（音樂）路並不順逐，促 使他跟幾位志同道合的人一起搞

音樂會。由那時起，他已經決定要做

一些與他家鄉城市不同的事。他說：

被譽為「香港年度最受矚目的戶外

「只要踏出了第一步，自然會向著

之一的Justin Sweeting談談有關他

習。我很享受目前在做的事，以及在

音樂會」 。我們今次便邀請到創辦人 創立Clockenflap的二三事。

一連三天的音樂節，Justin以

「Magical Weekend」來形容，在

他眼中的Clockenflap並不只是單

下一步走，在引領之下我一直在學

及演出者；還有的是可持續性，包括

在經濟與整體環境上，成功的音樂 節應該從一些在別人看來沒有那麼

光鮮的層面中，仍然能夠做到好好 的平衝。譬如說在人群管理上、對於

廁所的設置和安排等等，能夠令大 家都滿意那麼才是最理想的。」

的確，每個地方都有屬於當地

場的感動，並非其他活動可以比擬。

單位眼中，Clockenflap已經成為

走在一起並相當珍視的東西：音樂、

達出音樂節的訊息；透過我們建立

的獨特文化，不過音樂卻是通往世

純的一個音樂節那麼簡單﹕「我們

創立Clockenflap，為的就是建立一

們此刻最真實的需求﹕「我會認為

我身邊一同工作的伙伴。當這一切 機緣巧合下走在一起時候，自然就

他 們 每 年 必 到 的 盛 會。在 規 模 愈 後，Justin認為舉辦成功的音樂節

“There is something materialistic behind all this. I think about how we can get a certain message out through music in a sincere way, and how we can encourage and reach out to our audience and performers through our experiences. I want to also place emphasis on sustainability, both economically and environmentally, because a successful music festival should be well-balanced and considerate both in the spotlight and backstage, for example on crowd management, ground facilities and its organisation.

Making everybody happy should be the most important and ideal outcome”. Each country has its own unique culture and traditions, however, music is the universal language that bridges differences. Music from all around the world is beginning to rise, and the culture of music festivals is also starting to materialise. As Sweeting had stated, this does not merely represent music, but it also represents the experience - one that deserves applaud and recognition from a global audience.

界大同的最佳語言，那種只屬於現 世界各地的音樂節在不同地域變得

愈來愈熱，音樂節文化亦變得愈來

愈成熟。如他所言，這不只是音樂， 更是大家共同見証、共同渡過以及 一段值得大家歡呼喝彩的經歷。

FESTIVAL GURUS TALK

Jin Sun You ltra Music Festival has been labelled the largest electronic music festival in the global scene. Electro music junkie or not, during the period of Ultra Korea fest, one is bound to witness the entire body of social media platforms drowning in information and photographs from the fiesta. Originated in Miami and co-founded in 1999 by Russell Faibisch and Alex Omes, the electro music fest presents twelve different performing locations, attracting worldrenown DJs and performers upon its dazzling stage. The past five years have seen promising results, as tickets sold out in an instant, demonstrating the event’s rising popularity. We spoke to Ultra Korea’s Marketing Director, Jin Sun You, about the development of Ultra Korea since its beginnings in 2012, and her experiences with the festival in the past five years.

2012 was the year that brought Ultra Music Festival officially to South Korea, and numerous difficulties arose in the process of introducing the largest electronic music festival to the local scene. “Ultra Korea was born out of an accidental opportunity. In 2010, our company’s CEO had come across a video of DJ Tiësto and Diplo performing in Miami - they were performing ‘C’Mon’ both in the daytime and nighttime.

He was immediately attracted to this enchanting image on his

screen: the best DJ, paired with the extravagant stage, ravishing lights and the overwhelming energy of the crowd. Although we were initially unfamiliar with the electronic music scene and culture, we were deeply entranced by its liveliness, and so we wanted to bring it to South Korea. This was extremely difficult, as the other performing locations had not heard of Ultra Korea, and the headquarters at Miami did not express interest towards our efforts. However, after years of persistence, we were able to bring Ultra to South Korea in 2012, while becoming the very first performing location in the entirety of Asia”.

In the span of five years, Jin Sun had a lot to consider: “I had always been interested in different cultures. I enjoy playing the piano, listening to

classical music, and making art and photography. Before I joined Ultra Korea, I had organised and planned classical music shows and events, and had worked at an art exhibition hall.

I was immensely interested in electronic music when I had first been introduced to it, and I am so honoured to have had the opportunity to work on Ultra Korea for the past five years”. The role of Marketing Director seems to naturally entice You, as she stated that there was no need for purposeful maintenance of a passionate attitude.

From the initial stages of non-interest from other Ultra Music Festival locations, to the promising results that Ultra Korea had brought to the table, You shares her opinion on what a successful music festival needs in order to climb the ranks -

branding. “I hope that people will refrain from going with the flow, as different music festivals and performing locations have their own unique features. Each producing team has their own individualistic elements that can highlight their respective areas of expertise. In addition, there are other significant features that make a good music festival, and this includes a solid line-up, a high-quality sound system, as well as good catering and activities that supports what goes on in the spotlight. The event can go on for over ten hours, so all these elements are important. But what should be focused on, is the atmosphere.

I hope that Ultra Korea would become the most influential local electronic music festival, in order to bring the dynamic passion and excitement of the crowd to every single person that has come to see it in its glory”.

scaled music festivals, as well as producers in China, Zho decided to start with A2LiVE, the promotional and producing company behind Storm.

All things are difficult before they become easy, and to Eric, this was a truth that hit home hard. In 2013, when Storm was founded, the company went through a rough year. With profits in the red, the higher-ups were considering the possibility of discontinuing Storm.

However, Eric and his team were determined as they searched long and hard for sponsorships.

In the end, they garnered the support of Budweiser, and Storm’s 2014 music festival was held successfully. Zho reminisces: “2014 was a year of turning points for Storm. During the course of the year, we had pushed Storm into the spotlight, and showed the higher-ups what we were capable of. We

brought Storm to Shenzhen in 2015, and this year we will be bringing Storm to a total of six different cities in China. This is extremely exciting news, as introducing Storm to all corners of the globe is our aim, but in our current standpoint, we believe that China will possess the largest electronic music festival market in the global scene”.

A2LiVE has had ample experience planning and holding electro music festivals. Ten years ago, A2LiVE had been in charge of world renowned DJ Tiësto’s performance in China. However, Eric stated that the electro music festival scene was still underdeveloped and unheard of, as the Chinese market remained narrow in its perception of music.

“Some ten years ago, we started inviting international DJs into China. We were unable to grab attention, though. It wasn’t until about 2013, when the timing was

perfect, and we returned to what we did best, making sure that Storm would reach levels that it had never came close to before”.

Storm had transformed into the largest and most prominent music festival, and Zho expresses that this was due to strong lineups and performers. “There isn’t a fixed formula when it comes to a successful music festival. I place strong emphasis on the performance and line-up, those in which fuse with impressive stage productions and effects.

Exceptional themes and marketing ideas are also needed to capture the attention of the masses. Nobody can predict the success or failure of a music festival, but if we were to define success, then profit would be one word that I would include in the definition”. As a music festival producer, Zho stated that the most memorable performance he had seen was Above & Beyond’s act that had took place last year. “Above & Beyond’s performance last year was the only one that had touched me.

Though, when I saw Kesha on stage holding a green beer bottle that wasn’t the red bottle of Budweiser that had sponsored us, I was this close to passing out due to a heart attack”.

俗語說萬事起頭難，對於Eric而

The festival’s success was not unforeseen, as the attentiongrabbing line-up of the very first STORM Electronic Music Festival had attracted over 20,000 fans and festival-goers. Maxwell, Zedd, Benny Benussi, Jay Sean, Far East Movement and Icono Pop were some of the big names that had performed.

Emotions are both friend and foe. Cheung’s yearlong artistic journey had been one in conjunction with his combat against depression. Realism is nowhere to be found – that is not how he perceives the world.

Under Cheung’s artistry, facial features are distorted and violated, as his works represent a window into his inner turmoil.

A FUSION OF EAST AND WEST

here were no flashy store signages you’d normally find in Mong Kok above the store entrance; neither were there any overthe-top lightings on the interior.

Walking into this eatery, a two-storey building that has no flashy, flamboyant decor, I soon discovered it’s the fusion food and delectable alcoholic varieties, rather than its location or its novelty, that do the tricks.

A year into business on Wellington Street, Tycoon Tann at first struck me as a bar, as the bartender ran his gig behind the bar counter on the ground floor. As I was taken upstairs, I realized that the gem of the place actually lies upstairs on the second and third floor where marble slab tables and wooden chairs fill the floor. Bedecked with sakura paintings, each floor has a

Chinese element to the interior designs that I found intriguing.

When the food was served, I was pleasantly surprised by how well-matched the food and my surroundings were.

The first dish was a wellgarnished dim-sum platter, a quasi-appetizer. Dim-sum is as Chinese as a dish can get, and this platter elevated from other dim-sum eateries with exquisite tastes extracted from fresh, quality ingredients from abroad.

The main course consisted of a roasted, honey-dripped BBQ pork, a baked crab carapace, and a humongous sesame seed ball the size and shape of a basketball.

These dishes certainly packed a punch. The BBQ pork is not your usual pork from local eateries; the juiciness and chewiness of the Hungarian Mangalica meat complemented the honey that

Baked Crab Shell stuffed with fresh crab meat, onion and cheese slowly melted away by a small flame underneath the plate, adding sweetness to a salted dish.

The crab carapace, coated with melted cheese, was served with vinegar, elevating an otherwise alkaline dish with acidity.

The last dish was The Pearl of Dragon, a giant sesame seed ball. It looked scrumptious.

Taste-wise, the glutinous rice flour wasn’t as chewy and greasy as traditional sesame seed balls. I was even more impressed that, although this dish was served cold due to air conditioning, it still tasted great.

Friday, the charm of those drinks would have made a passerby swoon over its deliciousness. But unfortunately, on a Wednesday night, I had literally fell head over heels for two of the Tycoon Tann’s specials: Yum Cha and Tycoon Tann. Yum Cha was really sweet, almost like a fruit punch, whereas Tycoon Tann tasted more like herbal tea. Both had their shining moments, but for non-drinkers, be warned - both have a relatively high alcoholic composition, the equivalent of a Chinese Huadiaojiu.

Pale Ale heavy and hardcore, just like the vast selections of home-brewed beer. Indie to hand craft beer, alternative to handmade; both worlds are in parallel.

Home-brewed beer is Ale, beer with low production capacity and brewed with the traditional methods. All beer were brewed with the traditional methods before the 1900s, which were then replaced by the products of the larger beer manufacturers like Lager.

The major element in determining the taste and quality of the beer lies heavily within the brewer’s creativity and skill.

Normally, only natural spices will be added, with no artificial chemicals or preservatives.

The first one that you can't miss is Pale Ale, a 2014-launched, cross-over beer product by North Taiwan Brewing and notable Taiwan heavy metal band ChthoniC. The liquid goes down your throat fresh and smooth, with flavourful hints of red dates and cloves and an aftertaste of burnt malt.

#BORNOUTOFMUSIC

With the Hong Kongproduced malt carrying a local spirit, all cultivated beer are wellbalanced and have their own strengths, despite there being only a handful of choices. The mint flavour is very 'Hong Kong', as hints of the familiar White Flower oil oozes out. If you are looking for more of a local style, XeRReX is your best bet. It emits the fragrance of rich ink and herbs, taking us back to when we used to practice writing with a Chinese calligraphy brush and cooked Chinese medicine.

For the demanding home beer brewers, IPA would be the standard when rating a beer manufacturer. There are four main elements in brewing beer - the malt, water, hops and yeast.

IPA originated from the time when the British moved into Colonial India. The demand for beer skyrocketed, and due to the distance, extra hops were needed to increase the alcohol content for an extended storage life. Since then, the heavily flavoured and bitter Indian Pale

Russian Imperial Stout

Ale took over the world.

For the perfect ending, you must try the richest Russian Imperial Stout. It is basically a black beer, brewed with double the quantity with 9% in alcohol content. It has complicated layers, a rich fragrance, a dark colour with the taste of roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate.

Though rich in taste, the foam is refined and smooth with a lingering aftertaste, tender as a gentleman like George Clooney.

自然以倍數增長，因為路途遙遠， 所以要額外更多的啤酒花，並提高

啤酒的酒精濃度，以加長保存期限。 從此風格重口味及味道帶點苦澀的 Indian Pale Ale就風靡全球了。

最完美的結局，就是品嚐最濃

郁的Russian Imperial Stout。簡單

來說就是黑啤，而且更是以雙重份 量釀造，酒精更達致9%。其層次複

雜，香氣豐郁，深邃的色澤，散發出

烤烘麥芽、咖啡以及黑朱古力的甘 香，味道雖濃郁，但泡沫卻細緻，酒 體又柔滑，餘韻更是非常悠長，就像 劉青雲一樣鐵漢柔情。

Korean hip-hop’s rise in the 1990s was heavily influenced by the American scene, as Seo Taiji & Boys, DJ Doc and Drunken Tiger draw nuances in style and messages while bringing a hint of fresh controversy into the local industry. As the genre slowly reveals itself from the underground depths, hiphop raves and concerts in the youth-packed streets of Seoul city’s Hongdae area begin to popularize and appear to merge with the local mainstream clubbing culture. Along with the summer heat, Korean hip-hop delivers a sweet alternative to the usual EDM goodness.

Mnet’s summer sensation Show Me The Money entered its fifth season this May, and for many underground emcees, the program is an opportunity for exposure and cash-ins. Hotblooded hip-hop hopefuls (as well as established names) and their superstar mentors battle it out on television, spicing up the themed episodes and screaming audiences with flamboyant stages and performances. In the present, Show Me The Money stands amidst a contradictory sentiment in the realm of hiphop: the pride of preserving the underground culture, versus the hunger for the mainstream limelight. To many, Show Me The Money is an annual midsummer Korean drama that serves as a change from the predictable. It is also undoubtedly a solid source for discovering new artists, tracks and talent.

ecently, a local nightclub had been declared guilty on court of gender inequality and discrimination. The nightclub’s very own Ladies’ Night was the culprit of this atrocity, and the news caused an uproar in the nightclub scene. What seemed surprising was the fact that clubs and bars in Hong Kong have always been charging men with higher entrance fees, and have stuck by the rule of ‘free entry for women’. This was apparently “emotionally triggering” for a portion of male clubbers and bar-goers. However, the nightclub in question had not sent out a representative or made an official response, so the court ruled the suing male entitled to compensation.

Amidst the bedazzled club interiors, I’m sure that those who frequent clubs go for a promised time of fun and relaxation.

Honestly, gentlemen, you wouldn’t want to enter a club just to find out that there is nothing but a sausage fest.

If you have sensitive skin, you can try Kiehl’s Ultra Light Daily UV Defence SPF 50 PA+++ or LaRochePosay’s UVIDEA XL Aqua Fresh Gel (SPF 50). The products from both brands are always under the mild to sensitive skin category. In particular, I would like to introduce the sun care products from EltaMD,

ot summer will soon be here! Some people are working on their ‘skin whitening project’ while others are thinking of ways to get tanner. Tanning junkie or not, putting on sunscreen or tanning oil to protect yourself from burning is a must.

It is necessary to read up on SPF and PA before choosing your own sunscreen. SPF is the abbreviation of 'Sun Protection Factor', a label indicating how long the sunscreen can protect you from UVB. For instance,

H

058

BOOM MAGAZINE

the effective protection time of an SPF 15 sunscreen is around 150 minutes. You will have to apply the sunscreen again after this period. PA is a protection grade for UVA. The grading system has four levels, ranging from PA+ to PA++++. The more 'plus' symbols it shows, the more protection the sunscreen provides against UVA. Sunscreen with SPF 15 is good enough for daily protection if you are not participating in outdoor activities. For facial sunscreen,

the winner of the 2010 Elle Genius Award for Skin. Its mild formula can even be used on laser treatmented skin, earning its reputation as the most recommended sunscreen by dermatologists.

Sunscreen with SPF 50 would be perfect for those planning on hitting the outdoor activities, under the beaming sunlight.

'Banana Boat', 'Coppertone' and 'Hawaiian Tropic' have always been popular sunscreen and tanning oil brands on the market.

Personally, I would prefer sunscreen sprays for the body, as it is possible to just simply spray the sunscreen onto your back without asking for assistance from others. 'Banana Boat Sport Performance Clear Ultramist Sunscreens' and 'Coppertone Sport Continuous Sunscreen Spray' are good choices. For tanning oil, I would recommend 'Hawaiian Tropic'’s Dark Tanning oil. If you want to get a red bronzed look, the trick is to mix the mercurochrome with the dark tanning oil with a ratio of 1:99, lather it onto your skin and you will achieve an aesthetically stunning tan with a subtle red bronzed tint.

過無論你想不想曬，塗點防曬產品 來保護自己的皮膚都是必要的。

買合適的防曬產品之前，首先

要知道防曬產品中常見的SPF和PA 是什麼。SPF其實是Sun Protection

Factor的縮寫，亦即是防曬指數，是 用來表示防曬產品抵抗UVB的時 間；以SPF 15為例，這代表防曬的時

間大概維持150分鐘，過了時間之 後就要再補擦。PA則用來表示防禦 UVA的能力；由PA+至PA++++四個 級別組成。簡單來說「+」號愈多就代 表保護的指數值愈高。

如果不是進行戶外活動的話，

一般而言使用SPF15的防曬產品就

已經足夠。要推介臉部防曬產品，實 在不能不提Sofina，它的Whitening

UV Cut Emulsion (SPF50+ PA+++) 一直羸盡口碑，質地透薄清爽，感覺

肌膚零負擔。如果你本身的肌膚屬

於敏感肌，你可以考慮一下Kiehl’s 的Ultra Light Daily UV Defence SPF50 PA+++或者LaRoche-Posay

的UVIDEA XL Aqua Fresh Gel (SPF50)，這兩個品牌一向都以温和

見稱。另外特別介紹一下EltaMD， 它曾經榮獲「2010年Elle Genius

Award for Skin」 ，性質非常溫和，就 連剛做完激光療程的肌膚也可以使 用，難怪備受皮膚醫生推崇。

JAMES BLAKE

THE COLOUR IN ANYTHING

I once met James Blake in person (and got a photo with him).

The Colour in Anything, Blake’s third album and successor of Overgrown, had teased fans with the fact that some of its songs were recorded in notable American rock producer Rick Rubin’s Malibu studio. Rubin had participated in the production, providing fans with the expectation of some slight changes to Blake’s voice.

The pre-released single ‘Modern Soul’ reeks of soulfulness, and surely, it is an eye-catching number in comparison to preceding works. The auto-tuned ‘Put That Away and Talk to Me’ sounds overwhelmingly beautiful, however, it is an American R&B number.

James Blake’s electric sound retains its spirit and simplicity, casting the listener into a state of relaxation. It is like ‘Radio Silence’, a track that preserves Blake’s whimsical electric sounds, and ‘I Need a Forest Fire’ featuring Bon Iver, taking his listeners abroad a jungle journey.

However, my heart stays loyal to the song ‘Love Me in Whatever Way’. 我見過James

RADIOHEAD

A MOON SHAPED POOL

From the sudden ‘internet cleanse’ on May 1st - the shutdown of their official website and social media endeavors, to the digital release of new album A Moon Shaped Pool after a period of five years, the divine British band Radiohead becomes the hot topic amongst music junkies once again. All worshipping aside, the successor of The King of Limbs is yet again a masterpiece of perfection – if you acknowledge their current style of an artsy, electro-spiritual alternative sound. Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood leads the production. Greenwood’s decision to feature the London Contemporary Orchestra and Choir and its cinematic quality becomes the main focus of the album. For those who are looking for something new, pre-release ‘Burn The Witch’ features contemporary classical orchestral accompaniments, while the sentimental ambience of ‘Daydreaming’ likens it to the soundtrack of a northern European movie. For an intensive electric sound, see ‘Full Stop’, or ‘Desert Island Disk’ for an indie folk vibe. 從5月1日突如其來作「網絡大清洗」刪除官方網站以及社交網絡上

GARBAGE

STRANGE LITTLE BIRDS

Six years ago, the reunifying of Garbage, with the making of Not Your Kind of People (2012) that had fans anticipating for seven years, as well as the formation of independent record brand Stunvolume Records, marked the rebirth of a band. In the span of another four years, the band's sixth album Strange Little Birds was, like previous albums, recorded and produced in Los Angeles. Perhaps the twentieth anniversary of Garbage’s very first self-named album that took place last year steered the band’s musical style onto a clearer path, as the most authentic elements of Garbage’s sounds return.

Their album Sometimes opens with a poignant goth ballad, with pre-released track ‘Empty’ screaming emptiness with its salient guitar track and cinematic aura. In addition, ‘Blackout’ represents the goth post-punk realm, and from the booming electronic noise rock style found in ‘We Never Tell’, to the romantic dark-pop number ‘If I Lost You’, the album does not disappoint in its diversity. 當Garbage在6年前宣佈復合的時候，所標誌著樂隊重生意義的，那不

MINOR VICTORIES

MINOR VICTORIES

Minor Victories is a British indie supergroup, with members Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell, Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite, Editors’ Justin Lockey and Hand Held Cine Club’s James Lockey (the younger sibling of Justin). The gathering of this unexpected combination was due to Justin Lockey’s ambition to record a groundbreaking EP with tranquil, feminine vocals. The original plan to record an EP became the production of an entire album - Minor Victories. Alongside Goswell’s graceful vocals, Minor Victories’ music style is categorized under the shoegaze/dream-pop genre, and is also a deviation from Slowdive’s vibes in its tense and striking sounds. The pre-released track ‘A Hundred Ropes’ was a breathtaking classic among the realm of film soundtracks, while ‘Cogs’ is a noise rock number distinct with almighty vocals. Not to mention, there is also ‘Folk Arp’, a mythic brilliance, and ‘Scattered Ashes (Song for Richard)’ that harmonizes male and female vocals, delivering aptly the sentiments of the 90s.

Fantastic Day marries the style of C86, Jangle Pop and Neo acoustic. The members met each other at the Primal Scream concert back in 2000. They officially formed the band and named it after the legendary new-waver Haircut 100’s song in 2004, which marked the beginning of their music journey into the world of Brit-pop music. In 2013, Fantastic Day released their debut album Innocent with 300 copies of 12” vinyl records produced in England.

The album received splendid feedback from renowned labels such as HMV and Tower Records, it ranked 8th on the Disk Union Best Selling chart. This is the high watermark of their career to date. 融合C86、Jangle Pop與Neo Acoustic曲風的5人樂隊Fantastic Day，結緣於2000年 Primal Scream的香港演唱會，並於2004年正式組成開始作首次演出。隊名靈感取自 英國著名New-Wave樂隊Haircut 100同名歌曲，各成員家中隨處可見大量C-86、NewWave與Jangle-Pop等經典名盤，流露出他們對英式結他流行曲的鍾愛，使Fantastic Day呈現出最大的感染力。 2013年加入III-RECORDS幻想唱片後，Fantastic Day推出全新專輯《Innocent》 ，深受 HMV和Tower Records高度推薦，其中更登上了Disk Union銷量排行榜第8位。專輯更 推出限量300隻藍白潑墨花紋的英國製特別版12吋黑膠，甫推出旋即獲得市場極大迴 響，創造出他們音樂里程上的高峰。

REVIEW: FFLAT5 ARIA ONE First True Wireless Earphones

have always wanted a pair of wireless canalphone. It would be just like wearing nothing, so I could be carefree when enjoying music. What about normal canalphones?

The quality in general is inferior to headphones. Most wireless headphones are headsets while the more convenient ones are wired so the earphones get tangled easily. The wireless bluetooth canalphone Aria One of fFLAT5 can definitely strike a balance among convenience, quality and comfort.

The earphone brand fFLAT5 co-researches the wireless earphone Aria One with the renowned Furukawa Electric, a Japanese company which possesses over 130 years of research experiences in electronic products. In the past, earphones with wireless designs were usually headsets.

However, Aria One connects both sides of earphones with bluetooth so even canalphones can be connected seamlessly.

is light and convenient to wear.

The greatest news is that we can finally get rid of tangled earphones as long as we put on this tiny device. There will be no pressure applied onto your ears even if you wear it for prolonged periods of time.

As for the music quality, Aria One is well-equipped with the diaphragm patent technology MCPET and Furukawa OFC (oxygen free copper) premiumgrad cable is applied to windup speaker driver coils for securing perfect diaphragm movement. For people who have to stay connected, it is important to have earphones with communication functions, and Aria One allows you to switch freely between music and communication. It also empowers the IPX5 water resistant capibility so it is perfect for both daily users and sports lovers. You can still put it on when you are running or even swimming, because there is nothing more perfect than enjoying the music and exercising at the same time.

Felines are featured in some of your works. Are there any particular reasons behind this?

The simple reason behind this, is that cats are wonderful, amazing animals. For instance: cats are independent. They have great acrobatic athletic abilities. They are long-lasting company. They are natural hunters, and most importantly, they are good with kids! As my now eight months old baby son is really happy and laughs each time when he plays with the two cats we have at home.

It's a beautiful thing to watch.

Your creative style includes elements of graphic design and realism. How does this style attract you?

The combination of different styles and elements, such as of graphic design and realism, attracts me the most.

Trying to find that boundary and to playfully mix and combine to create a multi-layered style is exciting. In the end, this work method contributes to an impactful and strong visual.

What would you like your audience to feel or take away from your works?

Through my works, by creating impactful and remarkable visuals, I hope to connect, engage and inspire my audience. Showing my audience a sense of beauty and wonder is my goal. In the end, it revolves around making beautiful things to make people happy.

What and who inspired your artistic creations?

While I was planning to go to Monet’s “The Spirit of Place” Exhibition at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, I got a copy of Fantastic Day's latest LP Kaleidoscope.

I was so taken aback by the album cover, which is an oil painting named “The Painter’s Two Daughters” by Thomas Gainsborough. When I had cut open the plastic wrap with the white vinyl inside and faded pastel colours spilling over it, I was speechless.

If You Don’t Know Now You Know Music Lifts You Up - A Concert for the Deaf By: Pro B Lam problam

It’s the same question again - what came first: the chicken or the egg? Is the hong kong audience too stupid or all of the creative director have no ideas and have to stay with this stupid gags? Using old Leon Lai song replacing with stupid lyrics can gain all of the people attention on the social media , the brand can promo their new product at the same time gain in all the popularity, it makes me feel helpless…

Besides promoting the brands or new products, can the marketing director just attempt to do something meaningful while spending their marketing budget?

Last March, 7 Up connects

with Holland's talented young DJ Martin Garrix to start the first ever Deaf Party. Yes, a music party for the people that lost their auditory sense while they born or cause of sickness.

Those who are deaf couldn’t listen to the music, but they can actually feel the vibrations made from the bass and the drum, they can feel the rhythm so they can dance along with the music.

7 Up and DJ Martin Garrix designed a special room full of bass speakers and designed some vibrating backpacks for them to wear. Along with the special visual effects, deaf people can enjoy their first ever music party and dance all together.

Around The World In A Day By: Yuen Chi-Chung yccmcb.blogspot.hk

This Saturday, it would have been a month since the death of Prince (1985 – 2016).

My favourite Prince album would definitely be Around The World in a Day. I’ve held the same answer for the past thirty years.

The thrill and excitement when I heard Around The World in a Day was so unforgettable. It was released only ten months after Purple Rain, which shows us the rapid production capability of Prince.

Around The World is not the sequel to Purple Rain. It is Prince’s ambitious attempt on a psychedelic album. The album was even compared with The Beatles’ psychedelic classic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band or Magical Mystery Tour.

Maybe it was my ignorant young self, but <Around The World in a Day> must have been the first album I heard that is so eclectic. I know every song in the album inside out.

Prince’s itinerary set off

from the Middle East with 'Around The World in a Day', telling everyone to “open your heart / Open your mind” and follow him on his journey through wonderland. Psychedelic pop number Paisley Park is Prince’s ideal utopia.

The poetic, poignant and hazy piano ballad 'Condition of the Heart' spins a heavenly yet arrogant jazz piano rhythm. The album’s first single 'Raspberry Beret' is a colourful modern psychedelic-pop creation. The dreamy Baroquepop strings is the reason why people compare the song with The Beatle’s psychedelic-pop.

Side A ends with 'Tamborine', another unusual production of Prince.

Manual open reel effect brought up 'America' and side B of the disc, illustrating America in the Ronald Reagan era. 'Pop Life' is another ear catching song of the album, as it focuses on the popping percussion and the noisy musique concrete. Prince talks about his life philosophy

Wine and Music

1982

expiry dates. Two bottles of wine could be labelled with the same year, but could taste drastically different. What does Parker’s ranking in 1982 indicate in the present day? Practicality and experimentation are the only reasonable answers to the question. A compilation of ten wines with narrow ullage spaces completes the preparation for a wine-tasting banquet.

1982 was a classic year, as well as a legendary one.

The 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild had made multiple appearances in popular media, as the go-to beverage of protagonists and the wealthy.

The numbers ‘1982’ stood as a symbol for the greatest year, although it was only a great year for several areas of production in Bordeaux. The rest of the world begged to differ, including France.

However, the discourse surrounding the production year of wines is an everlasting one, as the year 1982 carried such meaningful implications.

Bordeaux had laid low for a striking period of twenty-one years after 1961, the year of excellence, before making a comeback in the great 1982.

In addition, the notable ‘king of the wine’ Robert Parker was “crowned” in the same year, securing his royal throne for

over thirty years.

1982 had been recognized as an excessively warm year by numerous European wine critics. Although the aroma was prevalent, the wine was only to be tasted with immediacy.

Storing them would have been impossible. Yet, the 35-year-old Robert Parker deems 1982 to be the greatest year of the wines in the twentieth century, and this title would be preserved throughout the generations of his children and grandchildren.

Parker had even gone to the lengths of publicly prizing the 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild with a full mark of 100. Never once had he given a winery perfect marks for its splendor.

Thus, Parker had pioneered a new era of innovation, as a figure out of 100 could skyrocket the price and status of wines.

The year in which wines are labelled with is not an everlasting notion, because wines have

‘80s Leftover

As Summer As the Sky By: Prupru eightyleftover.blogspot.hk

eightyleftover

In this summer, you only have to remember the sky: white and blue.

No matter for the top or sneakers, the hot colour for this season is definitely white.

Of course it will be the time for you to show us your skin a bit. Off shoulder top always gives you a fresh feeling. In this summer, all the fashion websites or boutiques like ASOS, Zalora, H&M or Zara have shown you theirs off shoulder collections. Off shoulder top in white with a denim or floral pattern shorts, and also a pair of lace up scandals. This is already so perfect for this summer. To make it simpler, you can even get a one-piece dress from Bershka or Cotton On, so that you don’t have to think about what to pick for your bottom.

The hottest item recently is white sneakers. The NMD sneakers collection of Adidas is sold out just after launch.

Nike’s Air Max is also a good

choice with its simple and trendy design. A pair of white sneakers are always presentable with your elegant or casual look.

For the sky blue, it is all about denim. Some people think there are not many choices for denim clothing, but it is wrong. If you just look at the jeans, you can already find so many different styles like skinny, straight, boyfriend, boot cut, high or low waist. Besides, the difference from stone-washing also makes each denim clothing unique.

Apart from jeans, girls you can also try to put on a loose denim shirt. Remember the top three buttons should remain unbuttoned.

Showing your collarbone can make you look sexier and slimmer.

If you think white and blue is too dull, you can catch people’s attention by wearing patterned headbands or

exaggerated necklaces. The Korean brand Aland has given you a lot of choices. But if you like the subtleness of white and blue, earrings and bracelets with simple designs can be the highlight. Red thread diamond bracelet from Redline is the star product to make you look delicate. 這個夏天，你只需要記著天空的顏 色：白和藍，那就已經足夠。

無論是上衣或運動鞋，今季的

大熱顏色都是白色。夏天麻，當然要

露一點肌膚才行。Off shoulder的襯

衫總給予人清爽清新的感覺。不論

是ASOS、Zalora、H&M或Zara，這個

的潮流元素，Adidas的NMD更加

在推出巿場不久後就賣到缺貨。 其實Nike的Air Max一點也不比它 遜色，簡約時尙。無論是斯文或是 casual的裝扮，配上一對白色運動 鞋也一點都不失禮。

至於夏天的藍，非denim莫

屬。不要以為denim的製品便變

化 不 大。單 是 牛 仔 褲 已 經 分 成 skinny、straight、boyfriend、boot

cut、high or low waist等等。再加

上洗水程度的不同，一條牛仔褲

已經可以千變萬化。除了牛仔褲， 女生在這個夏天不妨穿一件闊身

的牛仔裇衫。留意要故意鬆開最

高的那幾粒領口鈕，隱約露出鎖 骨，這樣才會性感又顯瘦。

如果嫌藍白色的配搭太單調，

夏季都推出了一系列off shoulder

不妨以色彩鮮艷的飾品點綴。可

條denim或floral pattern的短褲，

鍊，韓國Aland有很多這方面的飾

的款式。白色off shoulder上衣加一

再配一對lace up涼鞋，清新可人。 想穿one piece的，可以到Bershka 或Cotton On買一條off shoulder裙 子，那就不用為配襯下身而煩惱。

近期白色運動鞋成為不可缺少

以戴一個有pattern的頭箍或頸 品。假若你喜歡藍白色的低調，你

可以配襯設計簡單的耳環和手鍊

添加亮點。Redline的紅色手繩加 一顆鑽石的簡單設計，能令你成 為高貴又時尚的可愛女生。

MINI LAU@HK TATTOO How did you enter the tattoo industry?

I loved drawing and sketching, and after I completed my studies I became a salesperson.

I found it extremely boring. My ex-boyfriend was a tattooist, so I asked him to teach me the techniques. I loved to draw, and I saw the skin as a canvas.

People get tattoos for various reasons. What are some tattoo motives that struck you?

Once, a high school teacher of mine asked me to ink a family member’s name onto her body. Another client wanted to get a tattoo of their mother’s electrocardiogram on their wrist, inked in the cyclical form with two connected hearts.

What was the most achieving moment in your career?

Being able to use the skin as

a canvas, and to ink my own creations onto others. Making an everlasting mark onto another person feels great. The permanence of tattoos imposes serious responsibility, so I am cautious when I do it.

What is your tattooing style?

Some people call my works “mini tattoos”, as they can look very intricate and delicate.

Some refer to them as “indie”, because I use thinner lines and faint color schemes. This style seems to be more popular among female clients, and they would often request for the artistry of female tattooists.

What was the most difficult piece that you had to ink for a client?

I had a client who was experienced in inking, and he requested a tattoo of a 3D

illusion on his waist area. He had to tense the skin on his waist so the pattern won’t become distorted. In the end, the unexpected pain caused him to writhe, and the tattoo turned out unsatisfactory. It was one of my moments of failure. 給我們讀者說說你成為紋身師的入 行經過?

讀 書 時 期 已 喜 歡 畫 畫，畢 業 後 做 sales，覺得很悶不適合自己，而我

的男友當時已是位紋身師，於是請 他教我這門手藝，加上我又喜歡畫

成為紋身師後給你最大的滿足感是 甚麼?

可以把皮膚當畫布，將「畫作」紋在

別人的身上，這種替別人打下永遠 的「烙印」的感覺是很正的。一個紋

身可能會跟著別人一輩子，這成為

一個責任，動手時要非常小心處理。 你的紋身風格又是以甚麼為主?

有人會形容為「迷你tattoo」 ，因為

紋的圖案可以是好微細；又有人會

叫「小清新」 ，圖案特點是線條較幼， 用色較淺，女生會比較受落，而且有 些更會指定要女性紋身師呢。

畫，只不過將畫布換成皮膚罷了。

到目前為止，在你替別人紋的圖案

有人紋身是為了承諾、為了紀念、又

遇過一位男生原先已經有不少紋身

或純粹貪特別，你遇過哪些客人的 紋身故事是讓你特別深刻的？

曾經，一位中學時期的老師要求我 替她紋上其家人的名字。還有遇過 一位客人把他媽媽臨走前的心電圖

給紀錄下來，然後拿來給我替他紋

在手腕脈搏的位置，那是圍繞一圈 的一幅心連心圖案。

之中，最困難的是哪個?

經驗，不過那次替他紋一個3D錯視 圖案在腰間的位置，整個過程他必 須要將腰部的皮膚拉緊，紋出來的

圖案才不會變型。不過最後他也料 不到原來紋在肋骨上是那麼痛，在

過程中他的身體不斷移動和抽搐， 到最後紋出來的圖案當然不太理 想，也可以算是我的「失敗作」吧。
