11 April 2014, Hong Kong: The electrifying open-air music lounge of The Mira Hong Kong, Vibes, officially enters the global online community for music enthusiasts with an inaugural mix curated by French DJ/Producer, FKJ, that was released at its ecstatic Vibes SoundCloud Launch Party held on 8 April 2014.
The event marked the official launch of an online space for nu-disco/lounge and electro-dance music connoisseurs from around the world to follow the beat of Hong Kong's most electrifying outdoor music lounge, which brought to the city international DJ talents, including world-famous Magician, Classixx, Jupiter, Drop Out Orchestra (Live), Zimmer, and Justin Faust, among others.
The by-invitation-only event played host to a sonic spectacle by FKJ (DJ Set), touring in Asia, supported by VISA (DJ Set), the resident DJ of Vibes and also the Founder of Cliché Records, who has been curating the music style for Vibes through handpicking emerging, innovative DJ talents from around the world to perform there, often for the first time in Hong Kong, as in the case of Magician. “We are attracting intelligent music savvy audiences who are searching for new ways to engage their interests in dance music at interesting spaces, and Vibes is a truly unique venue in that respect,” said VISA.
“It gives us great satisfaction to be able to, yet again, forge a new path in Hong Kong's hospitality, by being a unique individual property boldly marking its righteous place on the music scene with Vibes' presence on SoundCloud which allows its fans, its regulars, as well as hotel's international and design-savvy Guests to plug into Vibes, join the party and feel electric, worldwide and anytime,” shared Gerhard Aicher, General Manager of The Mira Hong Kong.
Exclusive evening supported by beverage sponsor Bacardi and official media partner, HK Magazine, gathered an explosive mix of nearly 200 Guests: city's movers and shakers, music fans and music industry representatives.
FKJ (Roche Musique) is the featured artist on the inaugural SoundCloud mix recorded exclusively for Vibes and titled Vibes ElectriQmix Vol 1/FKJ, released on the night, with new releases curated by internationally renowned artists to follow regularly.
