dot com baby vol. 01 - long weekend
dot com baby vol. 01 — saturday
My good friend Marco just came back to Australia for his graduation.
He said clubbing in Indonesia feels different. Mostly because there’s no proper afters. The only ‘afters’ you can do there is grabbing breakfast. Fair point, I guess.
Meanwhile, I was hovering between two events on two nights in a row. Dancing without worrying about what comes next.
This one’s for you, Marco.
I know moving back to your hometown sucks lol.
Sunday

Mo asked me how I managed to go clubbing two days in a row, while everyone else was wiped out after one.
Turns out the secret is, I’m unemployed. lol.
Just realised the others have weekday jobs while I’m currently in my “soul-searching era” (please hire me).
Anyway, Mo asked me to come to Cosmic Boogie, an event held by the headmaster himself, Rubio.
The genre and the kind of vibe he wanted to bring? You’ll hear that in the interview.
When we arrived at The Abercrombie, the first thing I noticed was the incense smoke and the disco ball spinning above.
Before the interview, we drank G&Ts, a quick smoke, and talked about free will. But that’s a story for another day.
Then suddenly, Rubio handed me a 4K handycam with night-vision mode and said,
“It’s yours for tonight.”
The interview ran for nine minutes.
Finally, I found the real use for my yapping. Interviewing at one of the events I genuinely loved.
Back in 2015, I was deep in my disco era. I listened to Breakbot, Steve Monite, and anything with a funky bassline.
Cosmic Boogie felt like a time capsule. A reminder that sometimes you just need a simple boogie to feel alive again.
Thanks, Cosmic Boogie.
Until the next event.
