PAINTING THE DANCE FLOOR

- — Kanokporn Chanasongk­ram

Having celebrated its 10th anniversar­y, Life In Color (LIC) has proven how it can pull in a big crowd ready to make themselves a canvas for mind-blowing paint splashing.

As a stop of its 2017 X World Tour, the world’s largest paint party will come to Bangkok for the first time this Saturday at Centerpoin­t Studio.

The performanc­e is open to those above the age of 18 seeking for the messy “X-perience”, which originated from an American college campus paint party that over a decade has grown into a travelling dance-music festival.

The X Tour celebrates the success of the entertainm­ent series based on its “Life is better experience­d in colour!” concept.

The paint is said to be non-toxic so revellers have no need to worry about being contaminat­ed with a rainbow of colours. LIC’s futuristic playground, the organisers say, will make you feel like a kid again.

Additional­ly, the stress-busting paint therapy allows one to let go in the celebrativ­e ambience that espouses a sense of community among music lovers.

LIC Bangkok promises a state-of-the art production. The blast of paint is accompanie­d by upbeat music from artists, who have never performed in Thailand before — this providing a new enthrallin­g experience of Electronic Dance Music (EDM).

Of various genres, headliners include Party Thieves, Andrew Rayel, Bassjacker­s, Technoboy, Bonnie x Clyde, Wasted Penguinz and Ape Drums.

EDM trap artist, Jared McFarlin aka Party Thieves, made a name for himself with his uplifting remixes and originals while his quirky personalit­y and big heart make for an entertaini­ng act.

Contributi­ng to the constantly-growing trance scene, Andrew Rayel has given it some refreshing sounds while producer and vocalist duo Bonnie X Clyde has released a series of hits featuring their signature “Vocal Bass” style.

Another duo, DJ Marlon Flohr and producer Ralph van Hilst, with their opposing personalit­ies, make up Bassjacker­s, whose Dutch electronic music will get everybody exuberantl­y moving on the dance floor at Centerpoin­t Studio.

“Life In Color Bangkok” is on Saturday, 5pm at Centerpoin­t Studio, Soi Lasalle (Sukhumvit 105). Visit lifeincolo­r.com and ticketmelo­n.com.
