As regular readers will know, The Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project took place in 14 countries around the world last weekend and BobbySix.com was at the Canadian-themed event in Bangalore. Expect a full review from the big night in India soon, but, for now, here is what went down in the other locations.
More than 18,000 people from six continents across ten time zones witnessed the result of over 33,000 suggestions as to what characteristics made up each county's local nightlife. Highlights included a surprise performance from dubstep star Tinie Tempah in London, Marcus Schultz bringing some German techno to Cape Town, Brazilian freestyle footballers & samba drummers creating a carnival atmosphere in Sydney and German electronic sensation Peaches teaming up with South African Lim Pop group Gazelle to perform a song they co-wrote especially for the event in Berlin. UK curator Zane Lowe (pictured, top) busted out a DJ set, while live performances from Dirty Vegas in Thailand and Bonde de Role in Australia were streamed live online. Here are a few snaps of the fun:
