 DJ, electronic vocalist and artist, Miss Kittin may not be prowling the clubs of Bangkok for her Asian tour in May, but we thought this divine feline deserved a Q&A session anyway.

 It’s no wonder that Singapore is the home to the best dance music festival in all of Asia, “ZoukOut” organized by the famous “Zouk Club”. Unlike Thailand, the government has liberalized a 24 hour entertainment licensing law and is actually helping to promote the nightlife scene in Singapore.
