Music Sharing: Dance with DJ Kormac





An Irish DJ, Kormac from Dublin

Before I introduce you DJ Kormac, I would like to take the initiative and recommend you a fantastic club in Cluj Napoca, it called Boiler Club. This is one of my favourite clubs in Cluj, because the atmosphere of the club is so awesome! The outlook of Boiler club seems like a neglected factory of the post-WW2, where located at industry area. The layout design and music of this club is pretty unconventional, yet it is very cool and exciting. You may feel like entering an illegal club or a creepy haunted old factory. Haha.


Here we go! Boiler Club! 

Well, an awesome location that combined with a fantastic DJ, it stimulates your highness to the utmost level, and triggered of the club’s chemistry becomes more and more intense! We hardly get drunk from the drinks, but that night we were so drunk of his music. That experience was so damn awesome!



The Album's Covers

DJ Kormac encompasses a very unique style of music. I don’t really know what kind of music it is. It sound likes a mixture of classical orchestra and electronic, that creates an awesome effect of funky and oldies. In fact, there are 11 piece orchestra playing Kormac’s tracks. They have mix of turntables, samplers, drums, double bass, vocals, trumpet, trombone, tuba, and guitar. The music is not catchy, but it makes your body itchy that you will be easily to keep up the beats. There is a list of Kormac’s masterpieces that I recommended:      

1)    Show Time  - My favourite one!
2)    Mr Soft
3)    Scratchy Machine
4)    People Rising feat. Mc Little Tree
5)    Quackery
6)    The Party Must Continue Feat. Messiah J & The Expert
7)    Wash My Hands

Besides that, Kormac also outsmarts himself with a remarkable fashionable style. A skinny white guy with a white shirt matched with a pair of black pant and sneakers, and put on a thin messy black tie that creates Kormac’s signature of fashionable statement. 


Movies Sharing: La Finestra di Fronte 2003 (Facing Window)





First of all, this is my first experience of watching Italian movie. It really recalls me when I had a wonderful backpack trip in Italy. I missed the places and foods so much; especially the Italiano Gelato is the best of the world!

The story line of La Finestra di Fronte (Facing Window) is relatively similar with an American movie called Unfaithful, which played by Richard Gere, Diane Lane and Oliver Martinez. Similarly, both married women feel dull about their marriage and involved an unexpected infidelity relationship. Giovanna, an Italian woman who is very dissatisfy about her husband Filippo cannot finds a secure job. One day, they had met an old man, Simone who lost his memory. Thus, Filippo decided to give a hand and let the man stay in their house. Initially, Giovanna feels irritates with this old man.

But day by day, Giovanna begins to befriend with Simone. Giovanna noticed that Simone has a code tattoo on his arm, which symbolised he was one of the Jewish survivor from the WW2 in 1943. While taking care of Simone, it also creates another “opportunity” where Giovanna had met her hot neighbour Lorenzo, who stayed opposite block of Giovanna. Lorenzo is totally different with Filippo, who is mature, hot, singled and works securely in a bank. Giovanna would never expects her perfect man - Lorenzo is actually falls in love with her crazily. Thus, Giovanno was in the dilemma of choosing either these two men.


Lorenzo looks so hot with this spectacles! I gonna get one! LOL

If you haven’t watch this movie please do not read the last two paragraphs, I had revealed the ending. LOL. Of course, if you want to know in advance you may read it!


However, Simone also played an important role in flow of the story. Finally, Simone recalls his miserable memories, where he lost his love one during the WW2. For the sake of saving other lives, Simone made a painful decision to save many people as he can before Nazis take the brutal massacre on Jewish. In fact, Simone’s past story has been spiritually influenced Giovanna’s life as well. Whereby, Giovanna chosen her ‘reality’ as she realised that she should be obligated as role of a mother and wife in the same time. Instead of changing outside the world (Giovanna always looks outside through the window before sleep, that actually symbolised she yearns for a new and better life), Giovanna changes her perception of not being so demanding about her husband. Rather, she turned a new angle by pursuing her dream as she actually has the talent in making cakes. Hence, Simone’s past story has an indirect impact on Giovanna’s decision making.


When Giovanna looks through the window from Lorenzo's house, she recalls back what she used to be in her house.

We always used to say that love and relationship is the heaviest component in our life. These two characters, Simone and Giovanna have been highlighted by a thread of similar sadness, which concealed their unexpressed relationship. Simone has a homosexual relationship, whereas Giovanna was unfaithful to her husband. Throughout the whole story, both of them portrayed the melancholy characters, who only can bury these pensiveness memories in their deepest hearts.
