Dragon-I, Hong Kong Baby!

Here the mood: one Dragon I‘s motto on barmen’s T-shirt. Allusion to the famous Hong Kong (baby!) club, I discovered with Roy Malig, considered as the god-father HK DJ and music consultant now (soon a post). The club is a bit pretentious, but can be nice when a youngster DJ plays good sound all night long… then thursday morning sucks! Big up to the HK night!

Copenhagen Night: Restaurant, Bars and Music

My Copenhagen night: restaurant, bars and music. Sorry for the blurry pictures, camera problem and windy outside! First stop: invited by an Italian friend in the Danish gourmet restaurant, I discover the city from the water (picturess 1 and 2). Beautiful panorama! Honestly I haven’t marked the dishes by their taste or  presentation. Yet at a time, I was fan of La Maison du Danemark smoked fish in Paris. Tastes change, today I’m addicted to the Mediterranean cuisine and Japanese cuisine… But on the boat restaurant, I especially loved the view of Copenhagen, the fireworks and the fantastic time spent with my friends, away from the tourist centers.

Then we jump in the Mini of my Italian friend (last picture). I really enjoy his Mini Austin, so chic! Rolling glam in Copenhagen by night! Vavavoom! We go to an Afrobeat live of the Deodato band, on seabed. Just before arriving there: a short stop at the SAS Royal Hotel (built between 1956-1961), to discover one of the iconic achievements of Arne Jacobsen, the famous architect and father of Danish design. I found the lobby quite “outdated”. But this conception of space has more than 50 years and I am pretty impressed that it lasts! It’s not every day we have the chance to enter an original Arne Jacobsen’s work! Unfortunately I was not able to see more of the building, we arrived too late.

Stop 4 a club. The only interest of Karriere: its location in the Meatmarket area. The argument is too light to stay more than two minutes: let’s move to Ruby. A Copenhagen lounge, with noisy eighties music (kind of bad pop rock)! Unbearable! The same kind of music played by most radio stations, that gives the feeling time has stopped in Copenhagen! This is quite confusing. The Ruby is located in an apartment. The atmosphere is cool, I like it. But don’t expect the communicative joy of some clubs in London or New York. It’s pretty cold here: essential accessories, your buddies!

Moscow with SMDB: Episode1, The Arrival

Boarding to Moscow, via Francfort… Da, a snapshot of me in a hurry: natural predisposition for missing flights! I’m on my way to meet the SMDB, to shoot pictures of their xpress tour in Moscow. Sounds exciting. Wow Moscow: the absolut exotism. I have in mind all those movies with spies and the Kremlin during the cold war, some James Bond with Sean Connery. And of course today Moscow, one of the trendiest cities: thanks Louis Vuitton guide! That I won’t have time to check during this trip dedicated to this urban phenomenon: some “fluo kids” (as Pedro Winter’ll explain me later at Castelbajac show) enjoy dancing the Milky Way on techno music.
