Black was the color of the night as Nokia, along with Big Fish, brought to Manila the UK-based club brand, Gatecrasher. Decked out in various representations of black, Manila’s party people marched to A.Venue on Makati Ave. to take part in an event that promised an evening of fun, dancing, and a whole lot of music.
Fearless fashionistas sashayed into the venue in short skirts, flowy and loose tops, and sexy dresses. They accentuated their outfits with just the right amount of bling for a little sparkle and shine. Killer heels added more sexiness to their ensembles.
The tone of the night was set by Anton Ramos, who played heady beats. But the highlight of the party were Ralph Kyau and Steven Moebius Albert, better known as the DJ/producer tandem Kyau and Albert and possibly one of the most original dj/producer duos in the modern day electronic dance music circuit.
