Zoukfest Genting 2005

ZoukFest in Genting sucked.

#1. The rave was over crowded. Ghetto Heaven was jam packed. The Zouk main arena was even worst. Dancing freely without stepping on someone's feet was impossible.

#2. The sound system sucked. The music was cut off a few time in the main arena, and once in Velvet. The speakers weren’t as powerful compared to the last Genting rave too. The bass can only be felt when we stood near the speakers. The left and right speakers were not in sync too. Instead of one beat of 'doom', it was like .. 'doom doom' ...'doom doom'. WTH.

#3. The music spun wasn't impressive, or at least wasn't impressive to me. Progressive, trance and techno, but what I need was some really hard trance. There was even this part where the music went 'check check check check' replacing the bass. That was after the sound system went down. The whole song was like 'check check check' WTH! Check what? Check the sound system? Check in? Check mate? or isit Check me out? Yeeashh.

#4. Bad organiser. Getting tickets there at Genting was havoc. So so many problems.

Thank god there were friends to make the whole rave fun. The whole bunch of us spent most of our time in Velvet arena because the music was the best out of all 3 arena and the atmosphere and the sound system were better. Had a few really good laughs on the dance floor with the gang.

The weather was really cooling at night. The wind was strong and there was heavy mist. I didn't really had a chance to sweat when dancing out in the open. There were other many highlights of the trip, so I'll let the pictures do the talking.


Threesome. Wahaha


Some guy actually brought a floor mat into the rave to cover the tar road. It got destroyed eventually.
