Greetings from Hong Kong airport where I'm just sat waiting to board my flight home.

Thought I’d check in and let you know what in the world we've been doing all these many miles from home.
I’m over here with Stephanie Jay to represent at the cool Magnum nightclub in Hong Kong.

I love coming to this part of the world and "Honkers" is one of my favourite cities in the world to visit and play, so I naturally was over the moon to get to come back.

After a long flight out via Mumbai we arrived on Thursday morning for the show. After an afternoon of gauging on dim sum and a quick disco nap, we sound checked before heading to the club to do a spot of press, have a good pose and try to be as cool as we could in front of our billboard (what an ego boost).

The club itself is wicked with quite an intimate little room but with a seriously booming sound system. It was a really fun gig for us both and great to show the locals our darker sound – we were told to go in hard or go home!

The next day it was great to be taken to the fancy Armani Prive for lunch, where I had quite possibly the best Bento Box I have ever tasted – it was insane. We also found time to hang out with the Sex Panther guys who had flown in from LA.

Steph and myself quickly managed to squeeze in a trip to the peak, to take in the amazing views out over the city, if you ever get the chance to go to Hong Kong it’s a must.

Big props to Nick, Sabrina and all at Magnum Club for having us – everyone over there is so welcoming and hopefully I’ll get the chance to return there again soon.
