Bigfish presents SummerNRG featuring Aly & Fila and Ashley Wallbridge in Boracay 2012

Summer’s heat is officially upon us. This only means one thing:  BIGFISH Summer Energy will soon be making Boracay bounce!

I am so excited for Ashley Wallbridge! 

This year’s Summer Energy is Bigfish’s most exciting and ambitious one to date. It kicks off with the chilled-down Sunset Sessions on April 5 at the beachfront of Paraiso Bar in Station 2. Taking the energy up several notches is the Main Party happening on April 7, 8pm, also at the beachfront of Paraiso Bar, where revelers can sway until the summer sun rises. But the celebration doesn’t stop there—on April 8, from 6am onwards.

I ended my disco nap just in time to catch Ashley Wallbridge - not only he's a looker but he is a very promising Armada talent whose tune style appeals to my dance musical palette. So now in the party scene, I could hear girls shouting his name because now they have realised how cute he is. I was shouting with them - for the same reason, and because Ash was bringing down the island! He was banging! I didn't even realise how time flew so fast at that time that it was already Aly & Fila's turn.

It was my first time to experience this duo live. Apparently, only one of them can only man the decks as the other is deaf? Hailing from Cairo, Egypt, these fellas seemed to have something exotic to offer. As the night progressed, I thought it was coming on too slow, and low. It wasn't peaking as it should. And came 4AM, I thought they were already ending it. Not only until 5AM did the party start to peak up (or pick up) whatever you want to call it. Aly & Fila and Ashley Wallbridge did a back-to-back!!! Now that's something I have been waiting for. Being it a sunrise party, only the real 'ravers' would stay and dance to the beat - which is what happened. Oh, and during this time there was a tee tossed in to the crowd and managed to snatch it in exchange of getting spilled with my own drink. A Sound of Egypt tee from Aly & Fila.

Here are some photos to attest to the fun that had happened:

And later that day (night) I saw Ashley Wallbridge on three different ocassions. Didn't have the balls to ask for a photo on the first two encounters. But on the third time, I thought it's a charm and a photo-op was in order. Thanks heaps to my friend Bhavish who did most of the job and all I had to do was pose. Voila!

Share the fun, share your thoughts!

Bigfish presents SummerNRG featuring Ferry Corsten in Boracay 2011

For years, Slinky has prevailed on the party island. This year, SummerNRG returns to present one of my favourite Trance acts, Ferry Corsten alongside with two grand house acts - ZooBrazil, and housexy!

Boracay is one helluva party island. It may not come close to Ibiza in terms of the acts the come, spin, party, and go but it does compensate in so many other ways.

This recent (un)Holy Week Boracay trip with my crazy friends has been one of the best. This was when we were the most number. And definitely the best Bigfish island party to date - one for the books.

Around 3 am, just as I have entered the mini beach front venue comes Ferry with wifey Joy donning their smiles on the decks. It was hotter and more humid as the tent sides were lifted higher. The venue was more dense compared to last year. Anticipating such atmosphere, I brought with me my ever-reliable abaniko.  I made new friends because of this abaniko -- it was so hot, everyone was sweating and a relief of a cool wind flapped by my fanning drew people by my side. Smiles were flashing, pictures we were taking, and soon we were all dancing in the tune of the F man himself. This feeling of revelry lasted til the sun came up, til the island police were already demanding to wrap-up the event, to the point where power was already cut off. But the enthusiasm and love for trance and Ferry's tunes will not be thwarted by these antics from the police. We still marched on until we have summoned the morning sun shining on the other side of the island.
