Acupuncture Records First Anniversary: Steady, Accurate and Hard

Acupuncture Records are celebrating their first anniversary tonight at Star Live. To mark the occasion and give you a bit of an idea of what to expect from this evening's festivities, we've gone back to the vault and picked out our former nightlife editor Matt P Jager's great write up of the hyperactive group of local DJs just as they were getting started. Matt began by describing the woman who manages the crew.

Miao Wong had been picking at her tuna salad for an hour without making any visible progress. “I don’t eat,” she said. “I don’t like food.” She’s a techno-head. She’s a fist-pumping, hip-swaying, head-tossing marathoner on the dance floor. “I should eat more,” she admitted, stabbing some greens with her fork and mixing them around in the salad bowl. “This is my only meal of the day.” With Miao Wong, I suspect that the stem cells that should have developed into her appetite took a wrong turn and ended up in the parietal musical appreciation lobe. She digs tech-house. She’s an electronica connoisseur. When she dances, her hands are balled so tight that her nails, locked into soft palms, draw blood.
