Greetings from abroad!
For the next couple of weeks, Roktronik will be spreading electro love all over Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Macau. We’d like to thank our hosts at Prive who helped to launch our night of debauchery in Hong Kong’s Lan Kwai Fong bar/club/restaurant district.
Home to over 100 bars/clubs/restaurants, Lan Kwai Fong is where Hong Kong socialites and party goers from all over the world gather early in the afternoon for drinks and continue to rage early into the wee hours of the morning. Here’s a little re-cap of our journey yesterday:
We got off of the MTR subway station (which is incredibly clean and efficient by the way) at the “Central” stop. As we exited the electronic turnstyles, we were immediately greeted by a drunken horde calling it quits from being out since happy hour. Booze is in the air. An array of slurred languages echoed from the subway halls and almost created a unique language in itself. The masses were increasing by the second as the last few trains for the evening were set to depart. No matter, we were committed at this point after sitting on a plane for over 15 hours and thus, we continued on and swam through the intoxicated waves until we made it out of the underground station. We marched on with a new group of prospects, eager to get the night started. We finally made it to the base of a steep, uphill street. We were unable to see the cobblestone pavement due to a flood of what appeared to be an ocean of singing, dancing, and plastered bodies. We wanted to be the kings of this hammered hill. Drinking on the streets is not allowed in Hong Kong, with the exception of Lan Kwai Fong. Rest assured that the public made that very apparent and have taken full advantage of the exception. We, of course, followed suit: “When in Hong Kong…”
On a side note, 7-Elevens reign supreme in Hong Kong. They are literally everywhere and they sell booze. What’s even better is that you can use your Octopus Card (similar to a public transportation card in many major cities) to make your purchases with a mere swipe over a scanner. Marvelously genius.
After grabbing a few beers each from the 7-Eleven located conveniently along the way, we continued our ascent. Sensory overload strikes again. Bumping music blared out into the streets. The neon lights emitted from the bars/clubs were reminiscent of a compact Vegas. Intermittent wafts of smoke, food, and liquor filled our noses. The street was so packed that we were left with no choice but to go with the flow of the crowd. Nevertheless, onward we trekked past bar after bar, restaurant after restaurant, and drunk ass after drunk ass. As we finally reached the apex of the street, we finished the last “sips” of our beer to the soundtrack of ACDC’s “Shook Me All Night Long” which took an audible precedence from a pair of ginourmous outdoor speakers. Looking back proudly at our daunting journey, we came to the realization that our night had only begun…
We’d like to offer up the concept of “moderation” on this notorious night but we all know that’s a word missing from our vocabulary especially around this time of year. Too much turkey, taters, pie and of course sizzurp. But remember, as a wise man once said, “There’s nothing wrong with sobriety in moderation.”
In any case, we’ll keep in the binge spirit of all and flood your head with plenty of musical deliciousness. Bon Apetit!

Have a great short week!!
After wrapping up Nashville, Tennessee last night, the Mau5 himself will be tearing up the Congress Theater in Chicago for his “For A Lack Of A Better Name” Tour. Expect all the same goodness with a few new jams from the new CD including our favorite at the moment, “Strobe.” Once the bassline drops for that song, be prepared for the sold out venue to explode with insanity! Here are some chill tunes to get you warmed up for the show–make sure you pick up his new CD here!
Deadmau5 – Strobe <–goes bonkers around 6:40
