I’m sure by now a lot of you know that I’m quite a big fan of Hennessy Artistry parties. In fact I was there for the very first one back in 2008! Anyway I did a little compilation of pics which you can view here – https://timchew.net/2010/07/23/i-luv-hennessy-artistry/

The Hennessy Artistry 2012 series returned in 2012 and kicked off with a really awesome party in Penang!

She can belt out a ballad and she brings energy in abundance once the tempo shifts up a gear.

398345_444338945612578_1475778906_n — Havana Brown the only female DJ to sign a major label recording deal in Australia, Havana has delivered on Universal Music’s expectations with multiple releases of her Crave compilation series, all charting and spurning successful national and international club tours. DJ Havana Brown has since put out some hugely successful tracks, and continues to take over Malaysian dance floors and airwaves with the euphoric track “We Run The Night” ft. Pitbull.

21596_444338902279249_251046580_n — Started out by hip-hop artist and producer Cho PD under his label Brand New Stardom, Block B was among the hottest K-Pop rookies to debut last year, and they have come a long way since. With three hugely successful records out, namely New Kids On The Block, Welcome To The Block and Do You Wanna B, Block B is one of the fastest rising K-Pop boy bands internationally, and have garnered lots of attention as well as a huge following throughout Asia.
Often compared to the likes of Big Bang and B1A4, Block B is known as one of the more unique K-Pop bands for their originality, talent and attitude. Huge hits like Halo, Going Crazy and Wanna B showcase the group’s rap and vocal chops, while their on-stage presence gives them an air of respect, and at the same time portrays their fun-loving attitude; making them immensely exciting to watch.

10501_444338705612602_15633889_n — Formerly known as Nick Terranova, Las Vegas talent Starkillers has been cutting a swathe through the bolshier end of the global house music scene over the last few years with his tough-edged, eclectic sound.
Blending big hooks and riffs, soaring vocals, thumping beats and mind-bending effects trickery, his sound is the perfect blend of high-octane, fierce energy and accessible appeal. It’s truly at home amidst the contemporary sound of cutting-edge dance music. “I’m A.D.D” he explains of the hyperactive nature of his music. “I really just try to make my sound as crazy as I can without being too far left that people don’t get it” he says.

577038_380450185334788_2014243980_n — The Hennessy 360* cam!

H-Artistry Essentials: What to Bring and Why

Personal Identification

No one wants to be “that person” who forgot their ID and makes the rest of their friends wait for them while they rush back home to get their piece of plastic. Security needs to make sure you are over the age of 18 and non-Muslim to enter the premium party enclave setup for you. There will be multiple security check points to ensure the safety and comfort of all you party goers, so come prepared with identification!

H-Artistry Passes

Security at the H-Artistry finale will be bumped up to ensure the safety of all party goers, and entry will only be granted to those who turn up and register with their physical H-Artistry passes. Don’t crash the party, head on down to www.h-artistry.com.my and participate in “Hands on Hennessy” to win your tickets now!

Smartphone

Aside from keeping in touch with your friends and coordinating your trip to MIECC via the H-Artistry Party Shuttle or the H-Artistry Party Taxis, you absolutely MUST bring your smartphones, because the MY Hennessy mobile app available on the iOS App Store and Google Play will enable you to participate in the exciting activities at the Hennessy Art of Mixing Zone. You can score points for participation and stand a chance to win fantastic prizes!

Point & Shoot Camera

Point-and-shoot cameras would be easy to bring along and are perfect to capture amazing moments at H-Artistry with you and your friends! Bulky DSLR cameras will not be allowed, so keep it light and simple to have the best time possible!

Sufficient Cash

H-Artistry will have some FOC services and measures in place, such as the H-Artistry Party Shuttle service and free drinking water throughout the night, but you will need to bring some cash if you’re taking the H-Artistry Party Taxi to and from MIECC.

We strongly suggest you to ride the H-Artistry Party Taxis, as RM20 will be subsidized off your return fare. Food stalls will also be set up outside the venue for everyone to recharge during and after the party. As much as we want you to party hard, we want you to party responsibly too.

How to Get to H-Artistry:

Be sure to take advantage of the H-Artistry Party Shuttle and the H-Artistry Party Taxi services that have been specially introduced for the H-Artistry 2012 finale, as parking at MIECC will not be available on 3 November.

H-Artistry Party Shuttle – FOC

Start the night off worry-free with the H-Artistry Party Shuttle! Meet your friends at any of the following locations and hop on the H-Artistry Party Shuttle which will chauffer you all the way to MIECC and back, for FREE. The H-Artistry Party Shuttles will be making one stop at each location, and it will be able to accommodate 40 passengers per trip! Partying on the bus will most definitely be permitted.

KL Sentral – Entrance to Departure Hall, opposite SOOKA

Wisma Bentley Music (Opposite The Curve), Mutiara Damansara – Entrance, opposite Tesco

Viva Home Shopping Mall, Jalan Loke Yew – Main road bus stop

Endah Parade, Sri Petaling – Bus / Taxi area

The H-Artistry Party Shuttles will be arriving at these locations at 7.30pm, and will leave at 8pm. Departure from MIECC back to these locations will be at 2.30am. As seats are limited, the shuttles will take passengers on a first come, first serve basis.

H-Artistry Party Taxi – Subsidized

H-Artistry has teamed up with the good folks at Sunlight Taxis to provide cabbie support from Sunlight’s comprehensive network of taxis around the Klang Valley. Party goers can book their return trips to MIECC and back, and RM20 will be subsidized off the return fare.

Bookings to H-Artistry can be done online at www.sunlighttaxi.com, while four taxi concierge desks will be set up at MIECC for party goers to book a ride home. Check out www.h-artistry.com.my for more information.

Friendly Reminders on Partying Responsibly at H-Artistry:

FIVE AFTER TWELVE

To help everyone pace their drinks, the free flow of Hennessy V.S.O.P. long drinks will stop at 12midnight, and drinks can be obtained in exchange for drink coupons till the end of the night. Five H-Artistry drink coupons will be given out upon registration at the counter, so be sure to hold onto them till the stroke of midnight! And remember, you will only be allowed to exchange five coupons for drinks at one time!

H2GO

Staying hydrated is the way to go, and thanks to H-Artistry, drinking water will be provided FOC throughout the night! Just approach any of the friendly bartenders behind the Hennessy Mixing Bars, or help yourself to complementary mineral water bottles at the Chill Out Zone at the end of the night. Remember, H2GO is the way to go for a great experience at H-Artistry!

Chills-the-Mills

Don’t be in a hurry to leave when the party is over, as there’ll be plenty of opportunities for you to Chills-the-Mills after H-Artistry and talk about what a fantastic time you had! You can either rest up at the Chill Out Zone after the party, or recharge at the food stalls that will be available outside the venue. So if you see a friend walking out after the party, remind him/her to Chills-the-Mills and buy them a skewer or two of Malaysia’s favourite after-party food: LOK LOK!

Ride-On-The-Side

Partying responsibly would mean nominating a designated driver, or riding in the H-Artistry Party Shuttles or the H-Artistry Party Taxis to and fro H-Artistry. So be smart and Ride-On-The-Side on your way home from H-Artistry. Remember, NEVER drink and drive.

Where to Stay:

If you find yourself having an amazing night and don’t want the party to end, who says you need to go home? Just hop on an H-Artistry Party Taxi to one of the hotels below! You may either continue with an after party or head straight to bed – we strongly recommend the latter.
