Now playing at the Shelter, Shanghai - Legends of the Shanghai party circuit: Bananas.
Started back in the midst of yore by a revolving crew of fun-loving Shanghai based DJs, Bananas has won a reputation for being the most energy-packed, fun place for dressing up, getting down and laughing at all of the pretension that comes with other club nights.
"The best thing I remember were the girls at BANANER [an Ikea / Scandanavian theme party] printing their own tshirts, making skirts out of the blue plastic (Ikea) bags and drinking Absolut all night!"
Loo & Placido take malicious pleasure in blending the best of today's and yesterday's music in a sort of 'Back to the Future' avalanche mix covering most genres of dance culture in a modern and powerful way resulting in a tasty Electro-Rock / Hip-Hop mixture. These self-described "Electronic Popstar Killers" are clearly killing it!
2003, the duo started a collaboration with MTV (UK) and produced over 20 mash-ups for the MTV MASH show, and every year since then they have also produced all the mixes for the MTV EUROPE MUSIC AWARDS TV show. At the end of 2004, their 'Superchunk' mix was voted 'Best Studio Session' of the year by XFM (UK).
Between 2005 and the end of 2008, the duo hosted their very popular NRJ Mastermix weekly radio show on NRJ, one of France's most popular radio stations.
2006, they collaborate with THE DANDY WARHOLS and MOUSSE-T to release their first official world-wide smash known as 'Horny As A Dandy'. The track was nominated for the "Best Underground Dance Track" category at the 2007 MIMAMI WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE.
2008, MADONNA selects Loo & Placido's mash-up 'Toop Toop Grove', a combo between 'Into The Groove' and Toop Toop' by CASSIUS. to perform live as part of her 'Sticky and Sweaty' tour' show.
"BAD ASS MMMMMMMUTHRRFRKRRR! 3 x Australia DMC Champ, DJ Perplex rocks us with this mind-blowing mix. He is set to tear up the dancefloor at the opening night of A NICE SET SINGAPORE. And what a show that's gonna be! In case you didn't know, A NICE SET is a customized slipmat exhibition that's been touring the world and will be in Singapore on 15 May 09. Word has it, it's also the launch of a new POP-UP art space that's gonna make us all see RED....but anyway, F**K ART LETS DANCE!"
"Part 2 of A NICE SET SINGAPORE on 22 May 09 drops a little funky banana in the mix. DJ B.Two came into the game at the age of sixteen and worked his way to the 2008 Victorian DMC Title. By the sound of his demos, anything goes for this turntablist! And that's they way we all like. POP-UP art! POP-UP DJ!"
"To close the show on 29 May 09 - RIGHTCLICKA's personal favorite - The local act of the year. 1 part of 4 deck mash monsters Slap & Dash - the original DJ MUGEN! The wild card with a sound that's just orbital. We love a DJ with balls that bang! Check out his unfinished mix and you'll know what we are talkin' bout. Catch him at Hacienda Singapore, A NICE SET closing party..."
"2 very LIVE recordings of Black Kids and Hot Chip doing their thang LOUD at Glastonbury. Loads of superb energy from the masses and from the bands, so if you're got that surround sound 5.1 going at home, sit back and let this one loose."
"1997 - DAFT PUNK releases one of the most influential dance music debut album of the 90s, HOMEWORK. Chicago, the birth place of dance music - A roller rink called Route 66 sets the scene for what many has called the greatest DAFT PUNK set of all time. This was also the year the MP3 took the internet by storm. So we meet here, in the cross roads of dance music, technology and the catalyst that is DAFT PUNK - Though slightly boomy due to the transfer to MP3 format, the music path and influence of DAFT PUNK is evident & crystal clear! An historical recording!"
"1997 - DAFT PUNK brings Pedro Winters aka Busy P on board as manager and hits the tour circuit upon release of HOMEWORK. I manage to catch them LIVE at the legendary TWILO in New York. It was all a wonderful blur - from standing in line for hours in the winter cold to experiencing AROUND THE WORLD for the first time on the dancefloor with about a thousand people going ape-shit! This LIVE set totally brings me back and makes me all groggy again. If you weren't there or just too young to remember 1997, then this mix will transport you to the beginning of the sound you hear in clubs today."
"INFRAGANDHI comes to us from Hungary with a bag full of breakbeats, funk, reggae, hip hop and mashups. Playing the exclusive RIGHTCLICKA DECK at MOUSTACHE IS DOPE! - The man has a plan and that plan requires some hot, sweaty, funky booty. Full on dancefloor bombs and nothing else in between."

"Mustapha 3000, also known as Erol Alkan goes LIVE with his acid test psychedelic rock act Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve. Great spaced out 60s throw back, so far out its cool. Nice one Erol, you are dichotomatic and we dig it."
"Superb LIVE recording from FORMAT, Belgium. Straight up, good ol Justice. Were the boys faking it on decks here? I don't know and I don't care, all I know is that they can get the party started and keep it going. More doubt? Check out Justice LIVE @ KOKO below."

"DJ PHRA and BOT delivers again! This time it's a full on 2.5hr LIVE set from CLUB 11, Amsterdam. Cheeky bassy-ass synth-out electro with euro frenzied stabs! Hey man, why is everyone pointing frantically at the roof? Is it on fire? Wotever mate, just mind the Choos as you jump up and down."
"Straight out of KL comes FOULWORKS. Electropop, New Wave, Italo Disco meets post 70's Westwood and Warhol fashion with a dash of Kraftwerk-ianism and early-80's New York Downtown dystopian avant-garde! Blown by the description? Check out their sound, it'll blow you ears!"
"We never fail to get into the music and vibe of this joint - cool and creative and happenin'!"
