Okay now for the highlight of my night! 
Good friends know very well how much of an electronica junkie I am. I’ve always been interested in making my own music but I never met my perfect instrument until I tried on this Pioneer mixer at Club V two years ago. I am very blessed to be mentored by two of the country’s most influential DJs Boyet Sison and Mon Maramba (who’s already spinning in CA). I never went pro because really, I’d rather sleep at night than party. 
Whenever am out for a gig though, I’m always asked who’re my fave electronica artists. I can always add a couple of new artists but Chicane, Zero 7, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy, Groove Armada never left my list. Out of those favorites, Chicane’s the only band (yes, they’re a band and not just 1 DJ) I’ve been fortunate to see thrice (last night was the third time).
Thanks to Nokia, I got to hang out with Chicane (!!!!!) pre-gig!
Backstage, I had two options:
- Totally geek out and ask Nick Bracegirdle (guy holding the mic) for mixing tips.
- Shut up, grin, and just enjoy being in the same room with them.
