THE HISTORY:
Magnetic Soul is a Drum N Bass Crew in Hong Kong. Our motto is "The Soul of Drum N Bass."

Magnetic Soul was founded by Cookie in late spring of 2005 upon arriving in Hong Kong and meeting local talented DJs Kay C, JP Lui, and their close friends Ah Fai, Foxy, and Katie Luk - who were looking for an outlet to perpetuate Drum N Bass in Hong Kong.

This quickly evolved into a dynamic group of avid Drum and Bass fans with diverse professional backgrounds. Comprising of resident DJs and Public Relations professionals, the group has since made a name for themselves by making a big impact on Hong Kong music culture. Through years of hard work, Magnetic Soul has received recognition by International booking agencies as being THE promoters who do Drum N Bass in Hong Kong. They also receive recognition by Hong Kong press with numerous event listings, interviews, and named as boundary pushing event organizers in an August 2008 HK Magazine about Hong Kong iconoclasts.

The group is motivated only by the love of the music. Their skill sets are evenly applied for the greater of the group whether it be DJing, graphic design, PR and media relations, web development, experience with booking agencies and music industry, creative design, sound engineering, negotiating with club owners and managers, or good old fashioned hand to hand flyering.

Although, Magnetic Soul had minor changes in their lineup since it's inception, the core group has always been the focal point. Magnetic Soul claims to be unique event organizers with an unconventional style which is the recipe for their longevity and continued level of quality event production.
