2008's Greatest Hits

In Pulse this month: find out more about the new DJ duo in town, Ad Bangers, featuring two very familiar faces. Also, who is Dura and why are fascinated by her whimsical illustrations? We also hang on the phone with Edwin Raj from They Will Kill Us All who are about to finally launch their debut album, Secret Episodes, in January. Contributor Kamariah Rahmah sat down with Brian Gomez, blogger at The Floating Turd turned author of the comedy-action novel Devil's Place, for this month's Q&A. She also spoke to Findars, a young group of artists who own an eccentric gallery of the same name at The Annexe, for our Introducing piece. In HYPE, we predict that Silent Discos will soon be a big trend for music festivals in the Valley. We also spotlight Urbanattic, the new music bar at Capsquare from the folks at now-defunct The Attic. If you ever wondered where you can go to get the best views of the Kuala Lumpur skyline, we got that covered for this month's Trial Run. On our Shopping cover is Aurora, a very cool lighting boutique in Bangsar featuring designer inventions. From pretty lights, we move on to good-looking and delicious chocolate creations from ChocShock, which graces our Eat & Drink cover this month. And as mentioned, find out what our readers thought was the 2008's concert of the year and 2008's overkilled fashion trend as we reveal the results of our Best Of survey in 2008's Greatest Hits. For our profile feature, Brian Yap puts the limelight on Wong Tuck Cheong, the under-rated founder of Kelab Seni Filem Malaysia. Kick off your 2009 with a bang with our list of events in Around Town - we're looking forward to Mogwai, Sister Bliss, Headlights 2009 and KLPac Open Day to name but a few.

Last but not least - have a great year ahead, readers!
