[Upcoming Event]
If you haven’t heard about the awesome Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge parties then you must have been living under a rock as there have been some truly epic parties these last 3 years. To understand why I say it’s an epic party you might want to read my post on the previous Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge – http://timchew.net/2012/04/22/johnnie-walker-black-circuit-lounge-march-2012/
The JOHNNIE WALKER® Black Circuit Lounge VIP race party will be held in the beautiful island of Penang on 4 August, this time with a distinctly British edge. The hottest race party in Malaysia will also welcome the presence of motorsports royalty with two-time Formula 1™ World Champion and JOHNNIE WALKER® Responsible Drinking Ambassador Mika Häkkinen. The award-winning World’s No.1 Scotch whisky and global partner of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes™ Formula 1™ team since 2005 will be celebrating their “home” race in Silverstone, Great Britain while commemorating Penang’s rich historical heritage with the British.
So here’s a little info on Johnnie Walker:
JOHNNIE WALKER® is billed as the world’s number one whisky brand, enjoyed by people in almost 200 countries around the world. Since the time of founder, John Walker, it has been closely associated with the concept of personal progress. A combination of consumer insight, determination and commercial astuteness enabled three pioneering generations of Walker men to grow the small grocery store founded in 1820 into an international whisky business selling stylish, authentic, iconic brands.
This progressive and innovative approach has continued into the 21st century and in 2005 JOHNNIE WALKER® entered a partner agreement with the McLaren Formula 1™ team. Today JOHNNIE WALKER® is recognised as an icon of personal progress, as an international, high-status, sophisticated and dynamic brand. The Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1™ team closely matches these characteristics and provides a unique and exciting platform for engaging with today’s consumers.

Mika Hakinnen will be at the upcoming one!
Two-time Formula 1 World Champion Mika Häkkinen will be making an appearance at the party. Mika is the JOHNNIE WALKER® Responsible Drinking Ambassador and he will be in Malaysia to reinforce Join The Pact to Never Drink and Drive, which is the primary JOHNNIE WALKER® Responsible Drinking social initiative worldwide. Join The Pact conveys the message that “Winners Always Stay In Control”, and so do the right thing and pledge your signature to “Never Drink And Drive” at www.jointhepact.com
BTW I’ve met him previously when Johnnie Walker brought him down to SIC back in 2010. Read about my experience at – http://timchew.net/2010/08/28/preview-johnnie-walker-pit-crew-experience/
Loads of pretty girls…
Lots of beautiful people. I hope they fly in Dawn Yang from Singapore to party in Penang. She’s such a lovely doll!
DJ Geri
The hot and sexy DJ Geri has always lived a musically charmed life from her early beginnings as a classically trained pianist and violinist. Now as one of the region’s up and coming female DJs, she is all set to tear dancefloors up with her Electro and Hip Hop tunes. DJ Geri has the ability to read the crowd and play party rocking music to get the floor moving.

Benji
In 2010 Benji guided 17,000 revellers into the New Year at the London O2 arena alongside Deadmau5, Justice and Calvin Harris.
Benji’s stage set-up is like something out of the Star Ship Enterprise, his sophisticated arsenal of gadgets allow him to re-invent pretty much any party tune, cartoon theme or movie soundtrack into something new while taking everyone on an epic journey through the history of music itself!
Benji is a busy boy! From touring Europe as well as rockin’ the major festivals like Rockness, Bestival & Glastonbury he has earnt a reputation for delivering. His show was recently described as “Peak hour dancefloor weaponry!”
DJ Direct
Direct has claimed residences all over Las Vegas at places such as Blue Martini, Hawaiian Tropic Zone, Diablo’s Cantina, Wet Republic & Studio 54 at the MGM Grand, Blush at the Wynn Resort & Casino, Tao inside the Venetian, Mix at the Mandalay Bay, & the ultra exclusive members only club, Foundation Room at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino alongside with Drai’s, the only premier after hours club in the entire city. He has also made his mark in high fashion as the Musical Director for Guess clothing by Marciano for all their retail locations on the West Coast.
DJ RayRay
Music is an irreplaceable element in the life of DJ RayRay. She spun her way into the Hip-Hop scene when she was only 15. Through the spinning turntable, she implants her lifeful power into the grooving of music. Her music flows from Hip-Hop, Jazz Hip-Hop, Old School up to high paced Funk, Disco and Electro. Diversity of her music is churned from her turntables day in day out. Soul is what powers her music.
