So I know it's been awhile since I last blogged but I've been super busy prepping for recent gig with Eric Kupper and busy with developing two new business ventures.
First things first :
If you didn't come down to Marketplace last Friday for the Louis Roederer Champagne party you really missed out! Eric and I had a blast with all of you who did come... we premiered brand new Eric Kupper remixes of CHINA and THIS TIME. I'll post up some photos soon.
As for the other businesses I've been busy with, one is the tee shirt line / blog Pop.Muse.Sic.
Our first collection of limited edition Heart of GOLD Wildfox Tees are selling fast. If you haven't got your hands on one yet you better hurry! Check the online store here. They will make fab Christmas presents!
Juice Online gave us at PopMuseSic its first bit of media coverage which we are very excited about so a huge shout out goes to the Juice Team for their love and support :)
Saturday night saw the launch of Hanger magazine's A/W2010 edition held at a brand new venue called Hex at the PJ Trade Center.
With an uber cool and industrial decor, the party was absolutely pumping! Anyone who was anyone in the fashion and music scene, in fact anyone remotely creative, was seen there.
My favourite fairy blogger Joyce and the other third of LEFTBLOCK Michelle provided music for the earlier part of the evening and TWINKIES Arabyrd & T Nadia took over the decks with their distinct soundtrack of Bmore and bootlegs.
Both Arafah & Nadia were decked out in Wildfox tees available only through Pop.Muse.Sic. How can anyone resist them?
Yes! Eric is coming back to do a one-off gig in KL with me at Marketplace off Jalan Yap Kwan Seng :) Be prepared to hear some brand spanking new remixes, performed for the first time ever LIVE with me on the microphone - the gig's only 2 weeks away so don't forget to get full details and RSVP at the Facebook page here
There are some great drinks offers with yummy bubbly by Louis Roederer (yes, the brand behind the luxurious CRISTAL) great is you book early so put the date in your diary NOW!
The latest Fierce Angel compilation BEACH ANGEL IV is now available for you to preview! This compilation features a brand new remix by Eric Kupper, of one of my favourites from the 'ECLECTICISM' album - This Time.
Incidently, this is the 2nd remix seen by 'This Time' with the first featured on the ECLECTICISM REMIXES EP which you can find here
Definitely one of the best soundtracks for the end of summer...
The song and album will be available for download from August 30th (which also happens to be my Dad's Birthday)

For all you HOUSE HEADS : News just in from Fierce Angel 'Head-Honcho' Mark Doyle, that new remixes of 2 songs off the ECLECTICISM album have just been commission & will be released on future compilations!
In the words of Mark himself, THIS TIME will be given the "Latin House treatment" and CHINA will be transformed into what could potenetially be a "massive epic house floor-filling track" !!

So do yourself a favour ladies and gents make sure you get yourself a copy of this album, it's this years must have and will be the perfect gift for any one you may know!!
(And Now A Word From The Boss)
What a completely chaotic year of ups and downs it’s been! On the up side we had an unbelievable season at El Divino in Ibiza, and we took Fierce Angel events across the globe and back again! We have expanded the radio show and had a couple of massive club chart hits with our artist projects…..2009 has been a manic year for Fierce!
On the down side we made the difficult decision not to release Beach Angel and Es Vive this year. We left it until November to come back bigger and better and we hope it hasn’t been too long a wait!...and if it has, we are sure it will be worthwhile!
The idea behind “The Collection” is to give you a selection of the year’s biggest Fierce favourites, that have rocked many a dance floor all over the world.
Each of the tracks have been tried and tested on many a dance floor across the globe, and form the basis of the Fierce Angel sound. Massive vocals, and terrific hooks….great big hands in the air, feel good tunes! (we like to go for the goose bump factor!)
So here it is “The Collection,” you’ll find this release is an unashamedly commercial selection with only the biggest anthems packed onto the CD (or digital download).
It’s a decidedly disco selection on CD1 starting with Melissa Indot’s “Starlight:” followed by the Sister Sledge sampling “Take My Love.” Next up it’s the Fierce Angel Collective, this new project is a combination of all our best friends from the world of Fierce. We’ll be producing lots of tracks that will be exclusive to Fierce Angel albums. First off the blocks is a classic disco cover, “You Know How To Love Me” featuring the amazing Soraya Vivian with production duties from the Bassmonkeys. Moving on there’s new tracks from Solitaire, The Bassmonkeys plus huge club anthems from Anton Powers, Rossko and Joey Negro. Hott 22’s “Conversation” takes the pace up a bit higher and Ultravibe and Locksmiths keep the party going. We finish with a new Fierce Angel anthem “If You Could Read My Mind,.” It features unbelievable vocal from Soraya and production duties from no other than the mighty Degrees Of Motion!!!
If CD1 was decidedly disco, CD2 camps it up even further with some hi energy house anthems. We begin the selection with Hott22’s rework of the classic “Wicked Game”: and follow it with one of the summers biggest anthems “Heartbreak” Next up with it’s the massive Digital Dog mix of “Forgiveness” and Mr DYF with “Hold On.” A new name to Fierce Angel is Elin Lanto, her track “Discotheque” has been storming across the music channels. Another essential track from the summer was “Release Me” from Agnes and.we put our tongue firmly in our cheek Shanie’s “Piano In The Dark” we imagine we’ll get a few comments about this one but we love it! We finish up with the Wideboys on the mix of “Neon Lights,” a new track from Verde “If Only You” and go full hands in the air for Wheels And Disco “Sun Shine Down.”
CD3 provides a bit more late night action and begins with Priors, “What You Need.” There’s a stunning remix by Haji & Emanuel of Carolina Liar’s “Show Me What I’m Looking For.” and the hits follow swiftly on from Pegasus, Ian Carey and ultra cool Little Boots. Next it’s K-Klass with their version of “Finally,” this track has been causing a storm wherever it’s played. Brad Hed reworks the classic “Real Life” and then finally after waiting nearly two years we get the chance to include the simply fantastic “Thou Shalt Not Kill” by Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip. Big thanks to Ministry for allowing us an completely exclusive Stonebridge re-edit of “Hold On” and equal thanks to Newstate for the epic Kaskade mix of Paul Van Dyke’s “Home.” The Fierce Collective reappear to close the CD with Peyton and The Bassmonkeys rocking out their version of “Sex On Fire.”
So that’s it .. 2009 has flown by giving us some amazing parties, and stunning music, we hope you enjoy “The Collection” as much as we have enjoyed making it. A massive thank you for all your support, and we’ll be heading towards ever-greater things next year. You can expect some new artist material and a full schedule of CD releases. Feel free to get involved with Fierce and voice your opinions by signing up to our Facebook group and don’t forget both the group and our website are the places to watch for all the latest news.
Hope your winter months are truly Fierce and we’ll see you on a dance floor soon!

Good Lord how did i let 6 months go by since my last post???
So much has happened for me... lots of travelling, photoshoot, music making and music playing what with my guest DJ residency at Aristo still going strong and a podcast of my mixtapes I've just started - check it out at http://boogalooboo.podomatic.com
Writing for the new album began about a month ago and i know have a collection of 20.. yes TWENTY UNFINISHED tracks... *aaargh*
Starlight got remixed by Internationally known Grammy Winner Eric Kupper and has been released on a FIERCE ANGEL compilation.... available for purchase online only. Keep your ears and eyes peeled on the mags and radio stations for competitions where they'll be giving them away as prizes.... I'll probably also run a competition from the mothership that is www.melissaindot.com
Travelling included Pangkor for my birthday, Rawa for a quick escape, Euro Trip (it's been nearly 5 years) and Phuket with the family
Ramadhan has been wonderful so far - i love the conscientious eating, the great communal eating spirit. All that yummy home prepared grub and a great, great excuse for me to indulge in all the things i don't normally eat - kueh2, biscuits, CHEETOS *drool*
It's just a shame there's been so much bad publicity for Malaysia during this spiritual month - the case of the woman caught drinking who now is to be caned, the muslim BAN for the Guinness Closing Party featuring the Black Eyed Peas (it's now been lifted, which is even more embarrassing), the cow's head fiasco in Shah Alam with no arrests, followed by a peace vigil held in the name of the cow's head protest that ended up with 16 arrests!
RIDICULOUS.
SHAMEFUL.
SHAMELESS.
SENSELESS.
I've never been more an avid fan and user of TWITTER - for me it's the best way to stay up to date with every thing that's going on. Follow me if you aren't already @ :
www.twitter.com/melissaindot (for all things 'official')
and
www.twitter.com/boogalooboo (for all things controversial, offensive, open & honest)
I highly recommend you follow our very own Marina Mahathir www.twitter.com/netrakl
On a more superficial note : Working out and trying to get my flabby body into shape has been a challenge and a half - especially with my chronic back problem but the combo of light weights, regular cardio in the form of the WAVE machine & elyptical/crosstrainer and my SUPERB Pilates teacher Sherlyn, I feel like I'm finally on the road to recovery. YAY!!!!
Check out www.nubody.com.my - it's the brainchild of a primary school friend of mine - Melissa Zecha... fantastic healing place - lovely people and lifestyle. By The Way, my teacher is fully booked - so DREAM ON!!
I promised myself i would post something here EVERYDAY to make up for lost time... well everyday for the next week that is... hahahahaha
I was thinking a photo journal-type synopsis of my Eurotrip.. so watch this space (well til tmrw).
i gotta go now... gotta buy buka food and head to a friend's place before the traffic build up
Selamat berbuka to all my muslims friends and non muslim friends who are joining in :)
