Outtakes

Double the party power One of the best things about clubbing overseas is the popularity of multiple-room events, where night owls can enjoy a range of sounds under one roof.

While local event organisers are often hamstrung by small venues, the idea is starting to catch on in Hong Kong through the creative use of floor space.

The spacious Sugar in Central has always been the perfect candidate for a two-room party, and it will finally live up to its potential this Saturday night at the Gatecrasher Loves Tech and DnB event. As the title suggests, the event will showcase the sounds of techno and drum 'n' bass - two genres with devoted followings in Hong Kong.

Dutch DJ Michel de Hey (right) will headline the techno room, bringing years of his experience as one of the central figures on Rotterdam's club scene. His first release, Break, from 1986, entered Billboard's top 10 dance charts and he has since been repeatedly named the Netherlands' top techno DJ.

Meanwhile, holding court in the drum 'n' bass room will be Calibre, the stage name of prolific Irish artist Dominick Martin. Calibre is known for exploring the deeper side of drum 'n' bass, but he also brings in elements of jazz, funk, dub and techno.

The support DJs in both rooms will explore offshoots of the two genres, so there'll be something for most fans of electronic music. It all starts at 10pm, with advance tickets costing HK$260 (from HMV) or HK$380 at the door.
