    Arnault here,
    I've been on this list for years now, but rarely contributing...
    and i missed Elson when he was in HK.
    I quite agree that the music scene in HK is not that good, but I blame it on
    the lack of small and medium sized venues that could welcome AJ-related DJs.
    I play music almost every week in a small bar and week-in week-out, people
    come to me and thank me for playing the likes of Nittin Sawney and other
    underground acts (then i am also flooded by requests for that kylie Minogue
    song)

    ArC/

    Now playing :
    Bossa Tres Jazz II
    the third wave - here and now
    sincerely yours - klein records
    pepe california - llama
    espirito - canto de orfeo : wonderful wonderful tune if there is!
    domu - up+down
