Released 14 November 2006 by Renaissance.12″” Vinyl track listing:1)Original2)James Zabiela’s Seal Squeal RemixSpooky’s Charlie May and Sasha go head to head on beautiful, much sought after soundclash…Seal Clubbing first began life as a commission for a forensically popular American TV series. But, as is often the way in the DJ world, the track soon found its way into the hands of Dave Seaman, who used it as the Disc 1 opener for his recent Masters Series compilation. The response was instantaneous, being hailed as the standout cut from the entire tracklist amidst a wave of message board banter. The demand was clear – the record simply had to see the light of day.But not before a new interpretation was in the bag – step forward James Zabiela.There was little question about first choice to remix SC. James Zabiela’s relationship with Sasha is amongst the most famous in dance music, having been brought through the ranks by the Man himself. Now, as James continues to develop his own production career, it seemed fitting he has the opportunity to get to grips with his mentor. The result is a technically flawless ride that incorporates changing bass lines, acid washes and the track’s instantly recognisable riff. Those who were lucky enough to catch James’ recent tour of America will no doubt be familiar as he road-tested the mix as his set opener (it was only just finished on the outward plane ride!).

New York is not the only home to entertainment in the form of theatre, Hong Kong is fast becoming the major Asian theatrical hot spot. And glitzy Broadway musicals are the rave for many.

For those who can only dream of watching a musical on Broadway, Hong Kong offers high class performances of some of the most famous Broadway hits. Those include Andrew Lloyd Webber show stoppers such as ‘Phantom of the Opera’, and CATS a musical seen by over 60 million people world wide.

Other big theatre crowd pullers include musicals that have won the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning stage plays. The famous ‘Sound of Music’ musical recently celebrated 45 years in Hong Kong theatre. Saturday Night Fever as well as the musical Mamma Mia based on the hits by the Bee Gees, have all made their debut on this Asian stage.

Apart from the musicals, Hong Kong also has a cultural side to its performances. This is mainly embodied in its offering of Chinese Opera. This art form which is thousands of years old still lives on in a variety of performances. The old has now been fused together with drama as well as dance, which exude with rich Chinese legends and their hidden symbolic meaning.

For tourists the Chinese Opera is a great introduction into oriental Chinese culture.

Dance is another art form in Hong Kong that takes on many different representations. For new comers to Hong Kong and especially lovers of Asian dance and drums, the city offers something for everyone. Travelers could choose from attending classical ballet or try out some contemporary entertainment in the form of modern Chinese Dance. Hong Kong is the Asian hub of entertainment, and while it hosts many troupes from the West and other parts of Asia, it is also home to many talented local dance groups.

An event that should not be missed when in Hong Kong is the city’s salsa festival. The festival stretches across a week from morning till evening, and caters to the interests of absolute beginners to experts in the dance form. It is often said that just a visit to the festival is enough to want to want to engage in salsa for life. Tourists could learn from experts how to salsa, which always heightens the experience of the festival. It’s a virtual non stop party for a week comprising of dance workshops, parties at clubs, as well as the staging of the Asian Salsa Open Championships.

With all the excitement that Hong Kong has to offer, it also has some amazing accommodation for travelers of any budget.  A bit of pampering at a hotel Hong Kong is just the thing to add the perfect touch to an interesting day. The Langham Hong Kong is a luxury hotel with exquisite grandeur that is the envy of the rest. The luxury Hong Kong hotel rooms here are decorated in a simple colonial style and overlook landscaped gardens or the city’s famous sky scrapers that glisten from a distance on a clear night, making for a perfect view.

Barcelona has an excellent nightlife, simply reason being that there are lots of foreigners, students, and locals alike. While in Barcelona, you will be able to find every kind of nightclubs, bars, dance clubs, jazz bars and clubs, sports bars, cocktail bars, karaoke bars and pubs. Whatever you’re looking for, Barcelona nightlife is bound to have it!

You can start by visiting Baja Beach Club

A nice relaxed night of conversation over a few drinks not your idea of a good time? Then Baja Beach Club, (Passeig Marítim, 34) might be more your style. The beach club features topless bartenders, waitresses in bikinis, and more bronzed, half-naked bodies than you can shake a stick at. Follow the hordes of students and tourists to one of the themed bars and dance the night away to sugary-sweet pop music. If you want to make a repeat performance of it, consider trying to get on the VIP list, where you’ll be implanted, yes, you heard us right, with a microchip in your forearm which connects to your bank account and lets you just wave your arms, literally, when you want another drink. How this is legal is beyond us, but who knows…it could be the future of clubs.

International Sounds

Ibiza party spot Pacha now has locations in a few other cities, and Barcelona’s on Avda. Donctor Marañon certainly lives up to the hype. The huge, stark white disco features the latest in great DJs from Ibiza as well as live music nights, six different bars, a chill-out room and a terrace. The crowd is young and hip, so be sure to break out your best duds to ensure you don’t get turned away by the doorman. Entry is steep, at €15 with a drink, but the amazing sound-system and never-ending beats make it worth the price. Check their website (www.clubpachbcn.com) to see special DJ nights and to get ont heir mailing list for offers and VIP section.

Great live music

Spain isn’t well-known for its live music scene, but Razzmatazz (c/Almogàvers) is trying to change all that. Not only do they attract top artists like Miss Kitty and Blur, it also brings together the most diverse group of dance fiends you’ll see this side of Berlin. It’s a huge warehouse space which brings together five different clubs, featuring funk, house and dance music. Downstairs, check out the latest indie rock at the Razz Club, or head upstairs for techno at The Loft and Lo*Li*Ta. Pop, electro and disco take center stage at The Pop Room and The Rex Room. Grab a taxi to get there, as it’s in an industrial part of the city about ten minutes outside the center.

“Jamboree jazz club” for lovers of jazz and flamenco this is your club. Its one of those places you can visit of your first night out in town, or if you love jazz, its one club you should not miss!

“Costa Breve”, an uptown club which is always crowded with party goers, is also a club for young university community that takes the place on Thursdays to celebrate their parties

Barcelona is as they say… a night life heven!

Many of the most popular mainstream dancers at the moment are music stars who also like to do their fair bit of dancing in their music videos. From Beyonce to Chris Brown to Usher and Britney Spears.

One of the most popular pop stars slash dancers at the moment is Justin Timberlake. Many of his songs with danceable beats like ‘Like I Love You’ and ‘Rock Your Body’ have featured his individual dance moves and also brilliant group dance routines.

One of the guys behind Justin’s dance steps is Marty Kudelka – one of the hottest dance choreographers around at the moment. Marty has choreographed some of Justin’s more recent work like his video ‘My Love’ and also Justin’s FutureSex/ LoveSounds tour.

Every popular dancer usually has some sort of mentor like dancers or teachers that inspired them, or great choreographers. Hiring top choreographers is becoming one of the more important tasks for those responsible for today’s pop stars.

Every dance choreographer has their own unique style and many work in particular preferred styles of dance. For example the choreographers of Beyonce’s ‘Crazy In Love’ are very different from those who choreographed the video for Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ for example.

It is important for those responsible for a music artist to find choreographers who will compliment the image of that star. For example very sexy and feminine choreography works very well for the Pussycat Dolls and Beyonce, whereas Missy Elliot is more suited to hip-hop and club dance inspired styles.

The importance of hiring the right choreographer has never been more important in today’s age where image is so important for music artists. And it’s no longer just boy bands and girl bands that use dance routines in their acts, all sorts of music bands and artists are making use of dancers.

Once you get used to an artist doing dancing in their videos you expect the moves and routines that they make famous to become a part of their act. And they’ll usually stick with the formula of what works by continuing to make use of dance moves in their videos and tours.

Even Michael Jackson had his dance teachers. From his dancing it is obvious he was inspired by many great dancers but it was Jeffrey Daniel from soul group Shalamar who taught Michael Jackson the backslide or ‘moonwalk’ as it is more commonly known.

Behind every dancer there are choreographers that help make things happen and very often are responsible for the dance moves that catapult the artists and dancers into the spotlight.
