Glutter’s Hong Kong (supporting da scene issue)

JpgimageWhen I first came home about six years ago, I used to run a listing website, and go review raves for fun and living. One of the crews that threw parties at Bar City -a bassment club in TST- was called Club Progressive, they specialized in bringing UK club acts over in Hong Kong, who in general were uninspiring, commercial and played crappy garage house. But there was always a bit of hope in the evening as at some point a DJ named Tszpun who was part of the crew would play for a while. His stuff was darker, edgier, progressive house, which although was not incredibly popular with the crowd then, was always a favorite of mine. And as the scene changed, bar city closed, I quit my job, I never heard of these people again.

Anyway, it seems in the last six years, Tszpun didn’t end up working in the telephone company or anything like that. He’s part of the Hong Kong DJ Training Center. He’s still making music. That makes me happy. Now a more mature artist, with distribution deals across Europe, US, China and Hong Kong, he makes more chilled out stuff but that hard edge is still embedded in the sound. Which makes me happier.

And if you want to see him live. He and his crew will be at Nu tonight. I will probably come out of retirement and see you there.
