Tribute to Music Underground

OMG! MU is closing down on 3 March after being in the clubbing business for so long. I was pretty upset when i heard news of MU closing down. It was once part of my clubbing venue. Or should i say the place where i started my clubbing career? I am going to miss MU. Really. I have many many fond memories of MU.

This is wat someone wrote on the web abt MU.
"ENJOY NOW BEFORE THE DAY IT BECAME HISTORY...one more night i wanna be with uuu..."

I have decided to play Cascada song "One more Night" in memory of MU! If ever anyone is a fan of techno or Eurotrance, they will know who Cascada is. I remembered MU played lots of songs from Cascada. Becos of MU, i know Cascada, Deep Spirit and DJ Lhasa etc. My love for techno and retro blossom cos of MU. To know that MU is closing down, i have mixed feelings.

MU has been a very impt place to me in the past. I debuted in the clubbing scene with MU. It started in the year 1999. OMG! Yep, that time i was in NS and one fine day Ken and i came across this club located at the basement next to Shaw House. Eversince we stepped in, we clubbed at MU almost every weekend in 1999 till 2000.

I remembered we used to go for midnight movies. Before that, it will be clubbing at MU. When time is up, we will catch our movies at Lido. At abt 3am, we returned to MU to club away the techno nite. Those days, it was fun. When i left for NTU, i stopped clubbing. The old MU at Shaw house also closed down and relocate to Phoenix Hotel.

In April 2004, the new MU reopened at Phoenix Hotel. After i left NTU, i resume clubbing. The first place i headed to was neither Dbl O nor Zouk, it was MU. I started working so did Ken. We always meet on every Friday or Saturday night to party our night in MU. Really, despite our tight schedule at work, we make an effort to visit MU. Those days.

It was till 2005 when we changed our clubbing venue for good at Dbl O. Like Dbl O, we also met many regulars. I will always remember Uncle Michael, Adidas Shifu, Elvis Presley, Fat girl and Naughty Boy. Although we are not close to them, their moves and groove inspired me a lot. They are fantastic dancer. They never fail to impress me with their slick moves. Its because of MU that i understand why pple club. More importantly, i discover my passion for dancing. Really!

I have so much to say abt MU. The place where i picked up dancing, the place that saw me thru my late teen years, the place where i learn world is not abt you and me. If time permit, i am going to make another trip to MU before it closes shop for the day! Gan Chu Liang Shen. I hope you will reopen somewhere in the near future! Bless you.....
