Brain powered by double A batteries Alex and Alvin along with DJs Amanda Ling (Doopz) and Norman Chung at the decks, expect to hear only quality tunes by [...]

Besides having day jobs, Melvin aka Betaphats has an insatiable appetite for producing and picking up new musical skills, while Kurt aka Clash The Disko Kids pours his heart and soul into dropping dance beats for party people.
