Evening Edition

With a career that spans over 8 years, Shaheed Naz and Robotron 5000 are more than ready to showcase their evolving music styles. Their music styles includes sublime mix of nu disco, 80’s new wave, indie dance and good old house music. Heavily influenced by the iconic 80’s pop culture, throwback music and art, Dangerdisko thrives to revive the glory days of spectacular synths and laser infused disco 80s.

Their friendship and musical bond continued to thrive despite them going their own ways to explore their personal passions. They eventually got together in 2008 to form Dangerdisko. From early beginnings of creating tunes in a dusty bedroom studio in Subang Jaya, to collaborating with Malaysia’s legendary queen of jazz, Dato’ Sheila Majid. The dynamic duo successfully captured the attention of the scene with their eclectic brand of nu disco.

Their gigs include, Future Music Festival Asia, Urbanscapes, Good Vibes Festival, and Heineken Thirst Tour among others. Dangerdisko have also toured around North America, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. Their latest debut album is Hedonism. A music feature that encompasses past records and recently recorded ones, it not only relays their journey thus far, it is also one to define Shah and Farez as legitimately talented individuals.

For the record, Farez scored 18!

The common refrain among many Malaysians of the Merdeka generation is that politics in this country may have been very different today if Tun Dr. Ismail had not died suddenly in 1973 - at the prime of his political life. He had a unique vision of Malaysian life, politics, and society that was unfortunately never realised.

Today, on the Evening Edition, Ezra Zaid explores the life and legacy of Tun Dr. Ismail and gets a reminder of what true leadership was all about.

John “We Jun” Cho. Nope, not the guy from Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle! John, Malaysian independent filmmaker, winner of the Best Short Film at the Festival Filem Malaysia (FFM27) for Salvaj (2014), and also the guy who was selected to have his work shown at international film festivals in Japan, Germany, Mexico, Colombia, Poland, Montenegro and the USA.

Before deciding to become a full-time filmmaker, he had a very promising career in consumer durables; durables it seems, were not for John...

Most recently, he was selected to direct 'Coaster', a short film presented by Tiger Beer, where he was mentored by Hollywood director Baltasar Kormákur. Another of his works, 'Breaking Point', is expected to be released in early 2016 as part of the series of Fixi Novo short films produced by James Lee's Doghouse73 Pictures, adapted from short stories published in the KL Noir: Yellow anthology.

John enjoys most film genres apart from horror and that kind of experimental tosh that nobody seems to understand.

For the record, John scored 21!

For non-coffee drinkers, they have single origin Vahlrona chocolate drinks, with a hint of sea salt.
