For the all story pls follow my page on FB : BCBG Party Style by Cecilia and created the PP&FL (Phuket Professional & Fun Ladies Club) 1233 members in Phuket now 

Let us learn more about BCBG and Cecilia Pitre' her endeavors and adventures as a Party Organizer, how she became famous all over Asia.

French expat women Cécilia Pitré has let her free spirit guide her on a life path that wouldn't have been possible without her sense of wanderlust. An event planner and socialite in Phuket, Cécilia handles marketing and event planning for Le Versace – a hotel, French restaurant, and lounge bar with bold, fashion forward design reminiscent of Versace's over the top style. Love of travel and openness to change has taken her from France to Thailand, and it doesn't look like she's going back.

Cécilia was lucky enough to travel with her parents when she young, first sparking her interest in seeing the world. At age twenty-two, she left home to live in Manchester. During her time in England, she met a French man and together they decided to move to Thailand. It was a place he desired to go to in the first place, but it wound up to be Cécilia who loved the country more than he did. They planned their move in January 2005, but when the tsunami of December 2004 hit, they postponed and waited a bit before embarking on their adventure, changing their itineraries to focus on northern Thailand, instead of disaster struck southern Thailand.

HOW DID BCBG CECILIA GOT INTO THIS POSH ONE OF A KIND CAREER AS A PARTY ORGANIZER

Once in Thailand and after traveling around the country, plans changed. Cécilia's French partner didn't like being in Thailand as much as he'd thought. He returned home and she stayed on, taking life as it came. Due to her charismatic and outgoing personality, Cécilia quickly landed her first job in Thailand as a TV presenter for the 1st English program in Pattaya – this turning point would launch her into a media and social career that has continued to this day. Later, she worked for Accor – the group that owns big hotels such as Novotel and Sofitel – and her positions included PR management and food and business development for Pullman brand.

More about BCBG Party and Cecilia Pitre'

A self-described party animal, Cécilia took her career into her own hands when in March 2013 she went into event planning as a consultant. She had been doing event planning for friends and decided to turn her passion into a source of income.

 Some of her biggest gigs at the start of her entrepreneurial career involved event planning in India, where she organized a white party for Fashion TV and an event for the badmington league of India plus different other Party ... she loves India and planning few more surprises before the end of 2015. Her Thailand base at this time was in Pattaya, which she identifies as being the best spot in Thailand for nightlife, even more so than Bangkok. Pattaya has a dark reputation, but she asserts that she feels safe there and says Pattaya can be a lot of fun for women, too – it is not only a man's playground.

Her next move would take her life in another direction but without leaving Thailand. Cécilia was hired in to help breathe life back into the rooftop bar of Phuket's Le Versace. The owner of Le Versace, Georges Dufresne, and Cécilia found themselves attracted to one another once they'd met. After a successful launch party, Cécilia moved from Pattaya to be with George – and to keep Le Versace full of energy. One thing is for sure: Cécilia has found contentment and love by going with the flow and letting her life be washed over with wanderlust.

Your finest Engineer/Club DJ in town

Clubbing industry is at it's hype nowadays. If you will roam around Makati, BGC or even Timog area you will notice that there's one in every corner. Which is pretty cool for all the ravers out there. They get the chance to choose among the clubs that has a crowd that best fit them. 

And talking about what best fits your clubbing preference. That same goes in someone's career. I came across a DJ that was able to impose this idea that we can have two career and at the same time enjoy both. Needless to say more, I just wanted to share to all of you a short conversation I had with a great DJ in town Dennis Garra a.k.a. Soulful Jigs.

Just a brief introduction about Dennis Garra. 

He is a resident DJ of Royal Club Makati. Also, he's an Audio Engineer by profession but that does not limited him to be on deck as well on one of the most elite club in Makati. 

Music or sound in general, I must say is really close to his heart being an audio engineer and at the same time Disc Jockey. Combining , mixing different sounds must be his first love. He gave me the opportunity to have an email and chat conversation with him and I am greatly honored to impart what I've learned about him.

Here's the email conversation I had with DJ Soulful Jigs:

Do you have any other job aside from being a dj?

DJ Soulful Jigs : "Yes. I'm an Audio Consultant by day for a real estate company. Sometimes, I am a broker (both private and government agencies). I am also doing part-time consulting and personalized mentorship to aspiring DJs."

How did you get into disc jockeying?

DJ Soulful Jigs :  "You got to have love and passion with music. Since High School, I was a member of a "Mobile Disco Group". We catered high school dances, soirees, private dance parties, etc. That's the time when I started to be a DJ. I learned it by myself using dual cassette tapes. (Imagine that! J) Then,  turn tables came in so I learned that, too."

- With this being said we can say that Dennis started early in the party scene, thou most of us really sneak in our highschool days just to party, but he was able to discover early in his life that this will soon be a career for his. Two thumbs up on this DJ Jigs. Moving right along, let us get to know more about him and his insights about being a DJ.

Isn't it expensive to start a career as a dj? How do you manage to be updated when it comes to equipments?

DJ Soulful Jigs : "Yes, precisely. It’s the same as any other business. You need to get everything you need to keep it running even if it costs you money. For its development, of course. From headphones to laptops and softwares, these things will evolve from time to time  and you would need to go with the flow once it comes."

- Good investment I should say because once you heard his performance (you'll find embedded below from Mixcloud ), you can really identify that DJ jigs invested on his equipment but of course the end result of his mixes is still because of his creative mind.


How would you describe your style?

DJ Soulful Jigs :  "I have no specific stye as I'm very flexible. "Crowd Reading" is my weapon while on deck. But, I mainly  love to play 90’s soulful funky house classic and mash it up with progressive electro tunes randomly during my live sets.

- The "Crowd Reading" part is what I liked about his answer. I definitely agree on this one because it the crowd that is most important . They must enjoy and at the same time relate to the music that the DJ is playing on deck. In addition to this, it is good to know that DJ Jigs not just play music that he wants or whatever is on trend. He knows how to read the clubbers/ravers mind. And this is what's more important. Right? Make your crowd dance.

You may listen to his opening set thru Mix Cloud. Here is the link

Royal Night Club - Opening set by : Soulful Jigs

DJ Jigs focuses on details of his mixes. He makes sure that everything blendsperfectly.

Who are you musical influences? 

 DJ Soulful Jigs :"Tiesto and Hardwell"

-Good choice DJ Jigs, I heard that the two are famous with their dance festival performance in UK.

What can you say about lady DJs that dominates the deck nowadays? Is there any competition? Or you believe that the more the merrier?

It doesn't matter. DJs have their own identities, style, followers and market. This means that male DJs will often gravitate towards helping younger men, with whom they connect more naturally. In addition, women are more likely to seek a mentorship from someone of the opposite sex. This means there are fewer women who are being mentored through their DJ-ing careers by leading male DJs. As someone who was mentored by mostly female DJs (Ahem J ), I felt this was the best way for me to learn and avoid any problems and political issues in the industry.

-Good Job DJ Jigs, I agree on this and also it is so overwhelming that you are open to the idea that you mentor new breed of DJs. Mentoring them is a sign that you really have the passion in the kind of field.

                                         

Here is an awesome performance of DJ Soulfuljigs on deck . Very entertaining he gave the crowd a party 'til they drop experience . Putting their hands up in the air like nobody cares. Which is what ravers are looking for. 

This is the main reason why the elite crowd at Royal where he's a resident DJ could not help but drink, party and rave some more. 

And for the closing part of this short yet engaging interview with DJ Soulful Jigs.

Message for the aspiring dj out there?

"Being a DJ is never JUST a hobby. It’s passion. Passion is the love you have for something and craftsmanship is the pursuit of mastering that passion. The craftsman treats this process not as a destination, but something you do for the rest of your life."

There you go, this is the reason why the elite crowd of Royal are being blown away by DJ Jig's performance, it is because of his knowledge of music, ability to keep people on the dance floor. I am sure that regular guests at Royal Club swore that we would do whatever we could to party with him over and over.

 

Come and visit his fanpage at : DJ Soulful Jigs for updates about his gigs.

You may catch DJ Soulful Jigs at Royal Club located at 5343 St., General Luna, Makati, 1210 Metro Manila

Being a DJ at it's finest

Most of the time people think that it is almost impossible to mix business with pleasure. More often that not a lot of us really aspire to achieve this cliche'. The million dollar question is that, "Can we really mix business with pleasure?'. "Is it even possible?". 

People think that it’s impossible to become a well paid, professional DJ in the Philippines. Although most young aspiring DJs look to Mrtin Garrix, Alesso and other big names as their role-model. In reality, yes, very few will ever achieve international DJ status (this is a short list) like DJ Tom Taus but many people have rewarding, well-paid, full-time gigs. Their secret? How'd do it? Well... The answer to that is , they are willing to make some compromises and have built a stable network of consistent gigs. I personally have surveyed several DJs who make a cool 5 figures every week and spend 20-40 hours a week DJing local parties, corporate gigs and yes – a few birthdays here and there. Is every gig perfect? No. Are they making great money DJing? Yes.

For some, being a DJ started as a hobby. But this hobby will cost a pretty penny. From the equipment and top of the line lappy. So you better think twice or even three times. Because the return of investment may take years.
