Upcoming Events – Hennessy Artistry HALO 2013 & Heineken Thirst 2013

[Upcoming Events]

Hennessy Artistry HALO 2013

Back in 2008, Hennessy Artistry forever changed the Kuala Lumpur clubbing scene with their Hennessy Artistry parties which featured great entertainment, great ambience and of course some awesome Hennessy long drinks!

After the last Hennessy Artistry party which was in Penang earlier this year, the wait for the finale of this year’s Hennessy Artistry – The Global Art of Mixing (or as we like to call it the Hennessy Artistry HALO) is finally over!

This year’s Hennessy Artistry HALO will undoubtedly feature a solid line up of artists from East and West and our very own Malaysia and is set to take place at the Malaysia International Exhibition and Convention Centre (MIECC) in Mines Resort City on 2 November 2013 from 7.00pm to 1.00am.

This H-Artistry finale will see the return of the Hennessy Art of Mixing Zone (learn how to mix your own drinks!), the very popular My Hennessy Moment Photo Booth, as well as the highlight of all Hennessy Artistry parties – the Hennessy V.S.O.P signature long drinks: Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Berry, Hennessy Ginger and Hennessy Soda.

Party goers can expect to be entertained by an eclectic mix of Western and Eastern musical genres, styles and cultures. The performers for the night will be British song bird and vocal powerhouse Neon Hitch, famous for her Billboard chart topper “Love U Betta”, and her collaboration with Gym Class Heroes on “A** Back Home”; Korea’s rising star NS Yoon-G, who has performed with the likes of Jay Park; progressive house guru Dmitry KO, famous for his collaboration with Starkillers on “Odessa”; world-renowned trance hard-hitter Jochen Miller, who was featured in Armin’s “State of Trance” mix album; and Malaysia’s very own electro and techno DJ heroes Lapsap.

Now as smartphones basically rule our lives, you can download the MY Hennessy Mobile App from the App Store or Google Play which will enable you to enjoy a new party experience.

As always, do not over drink and make sure you pace yourself in order to fully enjoy the party. Hennessy is a responsibly brand and thus complimentary mineral water will be provided throughout the night, while food stalls will also be available outside the venue for everyone to recharge during and after the event.

Here are the artistes that will be performing:

Neon Hitch

The latest female firecracker from Britain, Neon Hitch has established herself as a Billboard chart topper with her single “Love U Betta”. She has also performed and collaborated with A-list artists such as Gym Class Heroes on their hit song “Ass Back Home”, Ke$ha on “Bla Bla Bla”, as well as Bruno Mars and Imogen Heap. Join us and experience this vocal powerhouse as she takes the party to the next level at H-Artistry KL 2013.

LapSap

LapSap is Malaysia’s duo house music heroes which consist of DJ Xu and DJ Blink, who have banded together for the sole purpose of bringing the electro and house scene in Malaysia to the next level. With countless sold-out gigs both local and around the world, this dynamite-duo is set to give party revelers a taste of Asian inspired electro and house tunes at H-Artistry 2013!

Jochen MIller

Injecting his signature crossbreed of progressive, electro and trance beats to his music, Holland’s Jochen Miller embodies the new decade’s freeform, Big Room soundscape. Featured in Armin’s “State of Trance” album, Jochen will be treating party revelers to fast and explosive trance hits at this year’s H-Artistrty KL!

Dmitry KO

Progressive house guru Dmitry KO has been setting fire to the dance floor since emerging on the stage in 2009 with this individualized style of traditional house music. Famous for this collaboration with Starkillers on “Odessa”, see him live at H-Artistry 2013 as he brings the house down!

NS Yoon-G

Regarded as a one of Korea’s most sought after solo female acts, NS Yoon-G has worked with top acts like Jay Park on her hit single “If You Love Me”. Having rocked H-Artistry Hong Kong with her explosive energy earlier this year, K-Pop fans in Malaysia will be treated to an unforgettable night of vocal belting and hip-swaying when Yoon-G takes stage at H-Artistry KL 2013!

Hennessy Artistry – The Global Art of Mixing strongly advocates responsible drinking and works towards ensuring the safety of each and every guest at the event. Among the safety and security measures that will be implemented at the upcoming party are:

– The organizers of H-Artistry strongly encourage party-goers to take a taxi to the event, as parking spaces at MIECC will not be available. Taxis will also be available at the event for party-goers to return home. Or you could always book at room at the Mines Wellness Hotel which is right next door (I stay there after the Hennessy Artistry HALO every year that the event has been held at MIECC. Beats having to pay at the roadblocks and you can party safely).

– A chill-out zone within the venue will be set up for party goers to relax after the party has ended. A free-flow of mineral water will be provided for everyone.

– Food and drink vendors will be made available outside the event venue for guests to relax and recharge after the party.

– Medical personnel will be on standby throughout the night in case of any emergencies.
