Domain 3rd Birthday Party, Jakarta

Kengo — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:00:09 +0000

It’s always pleasure to return to Jakarta! A vibrant city that is dynamic – a constantly changing place with the friendliest people in the world. So it was with great pleasure that we came to play Domain’s 3rd birthday. The brainchild of Yudha Budhisurya, also the creator of Playground Festival, the bar is a hub [...]

Keeping it hip hop! Big Wig Festival, Singapore

Kengo — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 00:46:25 +0000

From past experience, a strictly hip hop festival wouldn’t be a popular proposition anywhere in the world, let alone in Singapore – but here we were in Fort Canning Park, central Singapore, sharing the stage with the mighty Pharoahe Monch, rubbing shoulders with The Pharcyde and throwing down with Akil the MC from Jurassic 5. [...]

Snowbombing 2013 – another great party in the snow / sun!

Kengo — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 00:33:33 +0000

It’s with great anticipation, mixed with a slight fear about how little sleep I’m gonna get, that I come to Snowbombing. Where else do you see a constant party of quality acts for 5 days!!! Having done the festival for 8 years now, this year was no exception. Although we had to leave on Thursday, [...]

Shout 4 Music gives Yo Bonita 9/10

Kengo — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:16:12 +0000

Yes Friends! A great review here from Shout4Music! “Right, so it’s snowed, which is great for all of 20 minutes until you realise you can’t get any where and (if you’re me) remember that you’re the idiot who falls over in front of a bus load of people. So thank God for The Cuban Brothers [...]

Gigwise vote “Yo Bonita” as their favourite albums so far for 2013

Kengo — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:01:52 +0000

“The Cuban Brothers – Yo Bonita: The debut album from this trio lives up to everything their name promises. Havana-infused latin grooves meet stonking hip hop beats and reggae shuffles with guest appearance from people as diverse as KT Turnstall and Tenor Fly. This is an album that glows with the vibrancy of its country [...]

Arena Club, Mayrhofen – and a bit of snowboarding and toboganning!

Kengo — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 19:00:51 +0000

We return to Mayrhofen where we have been coming for 10 years, whether it’s the Brits or the Snowbombing parties – this time in January! The vibe was on and we had a blast alongside DJ Stocky – resident at the Arena for 35 years! A true music legend who’s been in the business since [...]

Berlin Fashion Week!

Kengo — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:29:00 +0000

It’s only apt that as the best dressed counts in the industry that we should be invited by Berlin Fashion Week to host the afterparty for 10 years of Premium – the trade show of truth. Held in a venue that is part of the subway (or U-Bahn as they say in Berlin) station the [...]

Adios 2012, Hola 2013

Kengo — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:21:35 +0000

What a year 2012 was. Having sold out Jazz Cafe twice (thank you everyone for the support – we were emotional after the show), some very great festivals and working with amazing people, we ended the year, and welcomed 2013 with an Australasian Tour. It was great to return to the Falls Festival in Lorne [...]
