When one discusses on the subject of innovative, shape-shifting dance music, one must take note that Underworld – pioneers in this field of music, who have been playing since 1980 – must not be excluded. Karl Hyde and Rick Smith continue this 3-decade old legacy (and counting), with their deck full of energy and spirit. With the release of a new album titled Barking, it seems like there’s no stopping these guys despite of age; only with experience to gain and music to share with and to inspire the rest of the world.

We hooked up with Karl Hyde via email and found out more about the band, the new album Barking, the future of dance music and more!

Cue darkness, lights and action! Beyonce appeared right in front of us, looking slightly like the American heroine, Wonder Woman. It was all grand and bling. Audience stunned and awed into silence. Beyonce did all her hits and a medley of Destiny’s Child tunes. I am amazed that I could sing along to most of the song despite not being a fan. And Beyonce’s all-girl backing band kicked so much ass. Look at how drummers Kim Thompson and Nikki Glaspie rail on the kit. Now, I have a new ambition. I want to be a drummer for Beyonce too. I mean, dreams do come true right?

Once again, the F1 Singapore Grand Prix is heading our way during the last weekend of September and that only means one thing – PARTY!

Aside from the speedy F1 drivers and the flashy cars, tons of bands and celebrities – Travis, Backstreet Boys, Beyonce, No Doubt, N.E.R.D, Black Eyed Peas and too many more to name – are hitting town with their live performances at the main F1 event as well as F1 Rocks Singapore. But if you are the sort who loves to dance with wild abundance, the Fuel Festival 2009 is one festival you cannot miss!
