We have not been in the Blogging mood lately, and to get back into the swing of things I thought I would start off with this classy picture that I saw on my friends FaceBook Page. It helps demonstrate the importance of not having sex while working.
Things look kinda sloppy back there, but it all worked out well for everybody. The customer looks a little more shocked than the elephant on the receiving end, and I even think I see a hint of a smile there too!
Hosting the next episode of the tag team Trix One and Tek 3 dropping the dopest sounds in Bangkok, Thailand in the biggest and best nightlife area of the Land of Smiles!
Baroque Club is true to the name and is known for the flyest style and finest ladies. Situated at the top of RCA, it is the first club located in Bangkok most famous night club area. The doors open at 9pm, but doesn’t officially kick off until about 10pm. Again, door will stay open until the police come knocking – and we run out of money to pay them off with (which we figure will be 4am).
Trix One and Tek 3 will be playing back-to-back and bouncing off each other, in a synergy that will have you amp. We are also planning on having extra guest star DJs and Stars at the party. Best of all this party is absolutely FREE to get in – no cover charge.
It will be Trix One last event before he heads back to the US for an extended trip and take some time to visit family. Be sure to stop by and get your goodbyes in and watch the one-of-a-kind and only underground show going on in Bangkok. If you haven’t had the pleasure of being apart of an Okizoo event in Thailand, this will be one of the last times for awhile.

Okizoo’s camera man and video editor Russell Banks, has been in high demand in the Bangkok acting scene over the last two months. Besides devoting half of his valuable time to filming and editing footage for Okizoo, Russ is now juggling some 12 hour-long days acting as the standing for M.Bison (Neal McDonough) on the forth coming Street Fighter II Movie.
The movie ‘Street Fighter II: The Legend Of Chun-Li’ is directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak and will feature top Hollywood actors:
Russ has worked as an extra on many commercials from Sunsilk Hair Products advert featuring Thai Model ‘Am’ to a Mitsubishi advert featuring ‘Tony Jah’ who is known for playing the leading role in Thai martial arts flicks Ang Bak, and Tom Yam Kung.
Russ has also worked as an extra in few Thai and Indian films but his luck came after landing a part as an extra on the Street Fighter II Movie. Only a few days into his job, Russ quickly got promoted to become the standing for M.Bison.
For those who aren’t sure what a stand-in is required to do; a stand-in is the person who acts out the scene for the first time in a kinda of trail run. Whilst the cameras roll, they must act out the scene precisely, as is required. When the scene is reviewed by the director and his team, elements such as the camera angles and lighting can be adjusted if needed. Some actors choose or are required to watch these scenes to give them a better idea of what they have to do.
In true Zoo spirit Russ has been getting in with the director, drinking champagne after the days work is done, and generally having a great time whilst working his ass off for the camera.
Things are also looking good for his future projects as Russ is already lined up for an audition to take a small speaking role in the forth-coming John Cusak movie, Shanghai and there also talk of a role in a new Oliver Stone movie being filmed out this way, but that’s not confirmed yet…..
So its fingers crossed for the Zoo director of moving visuals, but not just for the forth-coming BKK raw video (yeh don’t be forgetting now!) but for his acting career too!
Alex has his time to shine this month when Okizoo collaborate with the Preduce skate store in Saim Square for an exhibition of art and fashion.
Alex has been creating custom made Okizoo tees for over a year now. Each design is crafted by Alex’s extraordinary mind and then screen printed by hand…..not one tee has ever been, or ever will the same.
The Zoo Crew had a few different editions made, each with there own theme. Soon enough, it became apparent that the designs were in high demand….. So now, Okizoo have made these custom made t-shirts available to the public worldwide.
The Zoo’s newest designs have just been printed and have already gone sale to the public. Quick to get their hands on one, many of Bangkoks elite club goes, MC’s and DJ’s are already donning the Okizoo label proudly.
Check out a few shots from Trix’s local haunt, Inch Club, taken last Wednesday.

Alex, Bon and Hey local Bangkok graffiti artists completely bombed the whole scene of the new Coca-Cola commercial filmed on Petchburi Soi 39, Bangkok, Thailand (Famous Soap Land Area). This Coca-Cola commercial will be shown in Australia and some other international locations, to check out the video go to the Coca-Cola website and stay tuned for the video release on BKK RAW Video Magazine…
Listen graff heads… This location is completely insane, so huge it would even make SABER give props to Alex, Bon, and Hey… (SABER painted “the world’s largest graffiti piece†on the concrete banks of the Los Angeles River.)
It was a hard three day job for the local Bangkok writers, the task at hand was to cover an old Theater building in graffiti, They were handed a concept to design an angel coming down to refresh the world with Coca Cola in an urban environment. Alex got the call from Coca cola to do the Job for 90,000 baht and that’s about $2,848.19 which equal money in the bank and an unlimited supply of paint cans. What else can a graffiti artist ask for, permission to express there self freely and a whole building as a canvas…
Great job to Alex and the Homies… To see the whole project click on the graffiti image below!

Slap-bang in the city’s happening hub of Thonglor, fresh-faced local hipsters come here to sip whiskey, dance and hang out. The first floor DJ’s spin mostly mainstream hip-hop, while upstairs is more house-music driven. Very, very busy on weekends. Escudo Club, the oh-so-hi-so club on Thonglor is now back after eight months of renovation and a big 10 million baht envelope to cover its new interactive technology.The tables were more interesting: colorful lasers play off the glasses, connecting them and surrounding them with beams of light. Escudo may activate more of their interactive tricks soon, such as interactive games and inter-table messaging.
