Recharge

It’s been a while since the last big Recharge. Some of you might be expecting another full-blown festival a-la Recharge Revelation but the party series returns with a new attitude. A month-long “campaign”, Recharge will now hit major clubs across Malaysia, ensuring that all Malaysians have a chance to party with them.

Kicking off at Tin Valley in Ipoh on 2 October, Recharge then travels to Swing (Kuantan, 10 Oct), Pure Bar (Melaka, 16 Oct), Lush (Johor Bahru, 17 Oct), JB Discovery (Johor Bahru, 23 Oct), Blanc (KL, 30 Oct), Fuel (Butterworth, 31 Oct), before capping it off nicely at Paragon, Kuching on 21 November.

For the upcoming parties, Recharge is bringing down an army of DJs from the USA (DJs Cobra and Sid Vicious), Australia (DJ tyDi), Taiwan (DJs Cookie and Bigg) and Finland (Proteus). Of course, local DJs get some lovin’ too – Didjital, Fono, Classick, Terrence C, Bass Agents and Luqe are amongst those who will be traveling across the country to spin. Live performances will also be incorporated at each party. Crowd favourite, Caprice, is already scheduled to hit Tin Valley and Swing and party-starter Arabyrd will no doubt shake crowds up at Pure Bar and Lush.

For Recharge’s KL stint, clubbers will see DJ tyDi at the decks (he’ll also be headlining the Butterworth gig). At only 22-years-old, tyDi (real name: Tyson Illingworth) was bestowed the title of Australia’s number one DJ in 2008. Here’s some trivia: he’s got a track entitled “Kopi Susu”. He’ll be joined at Blanc by the hard-hitting Didjital and songbird/DJ Melissa Indot.
