Fri 4 Feb at Zouk, Day 2 of Chinese New Year
AL-P from MSTRKRFT (Can)
Responsible for churning out their signature Dance-Punk tunes over brutal, grinding bass, Canadian denizens, MSTRKRFT, have rebelled their way into stardom with their devil-may-care attitudes and equally explosive sets. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Daft Punk, MSTRKRFT has never in fact played by the fickle genre rules of the club scene, having toured with everyone from John Digweed to Z-Trip, remixing the likes of Wolfmother, Metric, Armand Van Helden and Usher and always preferring to cause dancefloor mayhem across the globe. Keeping to their anarchic maxim, catch the producer half, Al-P as he makes a stopover just to remind all to put their fists up into the air and scream for more!

Fellow like-minded music mavens, Funk Bast*rd & Kaye each reigning with their chosen instrument, set the pace for the grooving night drive that never seems to end.
