Headlining Indonesia’s 2nd annual Jakarta Annual Dance Event (JADE), Graham from superstar VJAddictive TV admits being highly impressed with both the city’s club scene and JADE, as was Rocky from fellow headliners X Press 2. “Club-wise Jakarta was fantastic,” he enthuses, “We played at Blowfish on Friday and the space and sound were both excellent. We also went and checked out Todd Terry on the Saturday; again an amazing space/sound system. I noticed a poster for Richie Hawtin this weekend and a whole bunch of other nights/events coming up,” he says. However Dutch producer Secret Cinema (aka Jeroen Verheij) is the only JADE guest to sound a note of caution, “I was here a few years ago and it really hasn't changed that much. DJs are still playing the more popular music, women are still looking beautiful and sound systems are loud. All good for a major club scene you'd say. One problem though; there is no scene,” Jereon declares.
