I was there during *Ramadan* and found myself staying out until 4 and 5 AM all too often. And the places were packed, I would guess 2,000 or 3,000 people at the places I visited. The whole thing blew my mind because elsewhere in SE Asia its 1 or 2 AM closing (e.g. Bangkok & Saigon), and pretty much the same in the States. Very lame.

Anyway I was able to keep up with it from afar for a while through Beat magazine, which unfortunately seems to have gone totally Bali in recent months (it was about 50/50, Bali/Jakarta) before.

Does anyone have any experience or tips or further info on the Jakarta scene? If nothing else i'd like to keep up with it vicariously from back here in America.

Luv that Kuta Hard House!

Thanks, Geeyore
o shiet, u serious. I was born in the islands of Java and in the city of Jakarta and I did not know they had a huge scene. I have been to their discoteca's and listen to some ok house, but nothing where its 2-3000 full capacity. That is sick. Next time I go to Indo, I might have to scoop for more info.

Kuta hard house, fuck, got me all wet just thinking about it and I never even heard of Kuta hard house, lol.

bisah kamuh ngerti apah aku bilang sekarang inih?
