The DJ Bliss Diary: Fishtails, gallops and Quincy Jones

Making new friends in this incredible city I call home.

Hey everyone! DJ Bliss back here on Yahoo Maktoob Entertainment. It has been a crazy couple of weeks, my days consisting of a lot of fast-paced action, plus a slightly different experience from my daily routine.

Two Saturdays ago, you might've seen me cycling around the areas of Satwa and Jumeirah Beach Road, before going on to discover Jumeirah Pearl and ending up at Dubai Offshore Sailing Club. However, these bikes are not your ordinary ones - instead, they are fixed-gear bicycles (or single-speed bikes, as what we used to call them we were young). The one I received has no brakes on it at all so I had to keep pedaling the entire time ( good exercise, though!) The weather was perfect for a ride and exploring the other side of the city. Plus, I got to meet new friends and at the same time, ride with my team at Bliss Inc.

Check out the fun snaps:

 

STUNNING CAVALIA
Cavalia was next. It was indeed a magnificent theatrical experience. I had the chance to even go to the stables and met the artists and of course, the horses. This show is a must-watch!

SOME TIME WITH QUINCY
To cap off this action-packed week, I got to catch up with one of my favourite American record producers of all-time, no other than, Mr. Quincy Jones.

The legendary music producer was in town to host a private dinner with Montegrappa. The company has just released a limited edition Quincy Jones pen featuring his logo - a solitary colour-enhanced ‘Q’, engraved on the top of the cap.

Until next time!
