mes photophones s'inscrivent dans une dynamique de « technoculture » intuitive, où le mobile devient un "dispositif mutant", une extension naturelle du corps, fusionnant vie quotidienne et création artistique.
My photophone projects are part of an intuitive "technoculture" movement, where the mobile phone becomes a "mutating device," a natural extension of the body, blending everyday life with artistic creation.

CATSUIT LOVE DJ DUO (Amsterdam) !!
LET THE BEAT GET REAL DIRTY!! YOU KNOW IT, WE HAVE THE SOUND SYSTEM TO MAKE IT REAL REAL BAD ASS.
SO BE THERE FOR THIS EXTRA SPECIAL PERFORMANCE. LIVE @ GLOW
DJ's DIRTY LARRY and KIKI TOAO had already been playing since 1996 when they met during a booking as back-to-back DJ's in 2003 in Club Amuse (now Sugar Factory) in Amsterdam.
They gained a reputation as breakbeat DJ's, though they have always played every style available in electronic dance music. To escape the breaks stigma and bored with the serious faces and lack of color in technoculture, they decided to team up as a stylish DJ duo in summer 2007 to combine house, disco and techno in one blazing DJ performance.
In 2008 they took their musical activities to the next level by producing their own music. With result, because on 2 June 2009 their track 'Handbag Schmutz' was released by Gemini Recordings (Barcelona/Tokyo) and more will follow soon.
As promoters they have organized monthly parties in Studio 80 and Wilhelmina Pakhuis in Amsterdam in collaboration with colleague DJ's.
A dirty sound is a joy forever!
Entrance : only 200 baht includes 1 drink
Door open : 9pm-3am
