Golden Tee @RMT, Itaewon

Yes, you read that right…Golden Tee and RMT all in the same heading.

After years of entertaining and frustrating people around the world, Golden Tee has finally landed in Korea.  You can now play the game you learned to love at Rocky Mountain Tavern in Itaewon.

They’ve got the new 2008 GT Unplugged version running on a really slick pedestal style cabinet on the 2nd floor–Complete with 32″ LCD Monitor. This definately is not the GT you played in your college days back home, but a much sweeter version.

Games are about the price you’d pay for a beer:

5,000 won for 18 Holes

3,000 won for 9 Holes

If anyone’s looking to play…let me know…i currently hold the Game record for the longest putt @50.7 feet  (MEX)….try and beat that!

Looks like there’s also a website in progress called called Golden Tee Korea.

Kenny Dope @ Underlounge 2/23

Three-time Grammy nominated Kenny Dope, one of the most prolific artists of the modern music age, has been entertaining and astounding the masses alike with his fusion of house, hip-hop, Latin, jazz, soul, and broken beats. Known as a living encyclopedia of beats, Kenny Dope is a purveyor of sonic masterpieces.

Born in 1970, Kenny Dope grew up in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park and by the early eighties he was absorbing the hip hop beats that were being played at the local street parties. Along with his partner, Mike Delgado, Kenny organized a series of neighborhood parties under the Masters at Work alias.

In 1990 after being introduced to DJ “Little” Louie Vega- Dope and Vega immediately hit it off and began a creative partnership appropriately dubbed Masters At Work. As the MAW sound became more pervasive in clubs, they became more sought after by artists and labels, eventually remixing and producing artists such as R. Kelly, Janet Jackson, Daft Punk, Barbara Tucker, India, Luther Vandross, BeBe Winans, George Benson and many, many more.

For the last decade Kenny Dope has had his hands full releasing literally thousands of tracks, remixing hundreds of singles, and globe trotting to DJ all over the world. In his production work, Kenny consistently shows his distinctive ability for programming superior beats while blending a myriad of music styles to deliver the ultimate mix. With his long-established reputation as a DJ extraordinaire, Kenny showcases a melting pot of house, jazz, funk, soul, and hip-hop while keeping the show colorful, energetic and soulful.

그래미 시상식 3회 노메네이트의 경력을 가지고 있는 DJ KENNY DOPE은 수많은 하우스 클래식을 탕생시켜온 MASTERS AT WORK 의일원이다. 압도적인 경럭과 Djing 은 물론. Mix CD의 릴리스, B-BOY용 음반 제작, R&B 아티스트의 프로듀서에 이르기 까지 실로 폭넓은 경험을 가진 세계적인 DJ프로듀서로서 모든 이들의 동경의대상이 되고 있다.

뿐만 아니라 솔로로서의 눈부신 발전을 이룬 “THE BOOM”. “THE UNRELEASED PROJECT” 라는 이름으로 MINIIE RIPERTON 의 하이톤 보이스를 완전히 다른 사운드로 완성시킨 “Get On Down”. “Funky sensation”을 새로 편성한 “Get up”등은 언더그라운드 신에 있어서도 큰 센세이션을 불러 일으키기도 했다.

하우스뮤직의 대가중에 대가 Kenny Dope 의 이번공연 은 그의 음액팬들과 파티 피플들에게 흥분과 감동을 안겨줄 UNDER LOUNGE SEOUL 의 열광적인 파티가 될것입니다.
