Quality production in every possible shape or form. Guerrilla really went out of the box on this one and it showed. Mad Props! The crowd started easing in from 11 o'clock onwards, steady acceleration meant that by about half past midnight, a bustling crowd of eager groups were clearly having a great time.
T-shirts at the door, designed by Mark Sbtg, eager individuals desperately got their hands and teeth into these limited edition items of clothing. Amazing decor, carrying the theme of the midautumn festival, lanterns hung from the ceiling, a healthy, warm and inviting glow of light came from the centre of the venue. After moving around you found yourself taken aback by visuals that were unique and artistically captivating. Nothing like the usual combination of visual eye candy type of shapes and images but more like projected photography with thought provoking text. Black and white stills, silloutes and city scenes, I stood and stared going through the motions and questions posed by such imagery and wording. Designed exclusively by Shawn Loo, I praise something different and so professionally put together. What a great idea of projecting these images through pieces of cloth consecutively, I'm surprised I've never seen this before. Respect goes out to the other contributors who without this event could not have been anything near what it was. Darius from Interactive Armada and Mark from Kennel made sure this place not only sounded amazing but also looked that way.
The music was as usual top-notch. Cherry started the night off, easing the crowd in with some melodious drum and bass. Numbers on the dancefloor changed drastically from the start of her set to the end. Later on in the night Kiat and Twinhead went back to back, tightly weaving together original bits of production as well as tracks perfect for their tapestry of dancefloor beats. DMZ and Kane vocally kept the floor alive, both complimenting each other with their different forms of narration. An excellent event, showcasing the indisciplinary nature of this creative collective. Quite rightly, there was an enthusiastic crowd that supported such a well executed event. Guerrilla's dont mess around, they take their goods to the platform and deliver without question. Booya!
