How to get tickets to Central Cee at SKY2.0 Dubai this weekend
UK rap legend Central Cee will be back in Dubai this weekend, going band for band at the epicentre of Dubai's nightlife scene, SKY2.0.
The Dubai Superclub, current holder of the prestigious What's On Nightclub of the Year award, has a hall-of-fame legacy in attracting the biggest names in street music and international DJing icons. In the last year, their stage has been graced by such baseline royalty as Akon, 21Savage, Fridayy, French Montanna, Gianni Romano, A7S, and Central Cee.
Now he's back, headlining SKY2.0's Saturday, February 15 line-up at the Dubai Design District vibe tribe hub. Walk-in tickets are available from Dhs499 (including one drink). For more information and bookings, visit skydubai.com .
Brand Central
One of the leading lights of the UK's new music scene, Cee (real name Oakley Neil Caesar-Su) is probably best known for his tracks 'Doja', 'Sprinter' – where he collabed with another UK rap legend Dave, 'Band4Band' (which featured Lil Baby) and 'Loading'. He also popped up on J. Cole's 2024 mixtape Might Delete Later.
His success is built on a fire-in-the-booth, faultlessly slick flow – with lyrics that tell stories ranging from life in his Endz to antics in a Mercedes Benz.
Talking about the announcement, Mario Tannous, General Manager of SKY2.0 said: 'Central Cee is one of the most exciting artists in the game right now, and we're excited to have him back for another incredible performance at SKY2.0 after his last season sold-out night.'
'This is going to be a massive night for hip hop fans, and we can't wait to bring his energy back on our stage.'

With a rib cage rattling sound system, premium f&b options, future-tech-tier visuals, live entertainment, and a roof open to the elements – SKY2.0 consistently pushes the experiential limits of Dubai's clubbing scene. Making it the perfect home for the dynamic sounds of Cench.

Disguise launches portable Designer software X1
X1 is now available for a $6,000 annual fee, with special prices for bundles and educational licenses. Disguise has introduced X1, a portable version of its Designer software, allowing creators to deliver high-quality 4K visuals straight from a laptop or personal hardware, no proprietary media servers required. Reportedly, marking the first time the production engine behind some of the world's largest shows has been made available in a flexible, software-only format, X1 gives production teams the freedom to design, sequence, and deliver content on the move. Created with small to mid-sized live events in mind, including concerts, theatre productions and branded corporate experiences, X1 brings the trusted Disguise workflow to a travel-ready setup. The software has already proven its capabilities through live pilots at major events, such as Bullet For My Valentine's performance at Germany's Rockfest, Festival Napa Valley and the North American leg of Central Cee's tour. Raed Al Tikriti, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Disguise, said: 'In order to support the world's biggest shows and installations, we have high-performance media servers powerful enough to seamlessly run visuals on LED walls over 4,000 sqm in size. But not everyone needs all that power — or has the space or budget for it. That's why we decided to create X1. With X1, for the first time, anyone can harness the same powerful Designer tools used on the world's biggest productions, all in a portable format that's easier and more cost-effective to bring on tour or support smaller productions.' X1 licenses connect via USB dongles, granting instant access to the latest version of Designer. It integrates with real-time graphics tools such as Notch, Unreal Engine, TouchDesigner and Unity via Disguise's RenderStream protocol, allowing seamless visual imports. It also includes a ready-to-use content pack featuring high-impact visual effects developed in-house by Disguise's Creative Services team, with pre-rendered clips available for instant playback. Users can preview shows using 3D mini stage replicas, rely on the Designer timeline for scheduling visuals, and take advantage of redundancy features like 1:1 failover for uninterrupted live performance delivery. Industry professionals have already endorsed X1's adaptability and efficiency. Alex Loftie, Video Programmer for Central Cee's tour commented: 'With Central Cee's shows in Canada and the USA generally having a more intimate feel at smaller venues, it made perfect sense for us to use X1 on a laptop. It allowed us to pack light, easing the burden of transporting kit between multiple venues — but it also meant everything could stay on Disguise and I didn't have to re-program the show with a different solution, which saved a huge amount of time and budget. Being able to stay within the Disguise ecosystem is so key. When we returned to larger venues in Europe, we were able to easily transition back to Disguise media servers, ultimately giving us the flexibility to use Disguise's familiar and reliable Designer software across shows of any size.' Glenn Jenkins, Video Engineer on Bullet For My Valentine's tour, valued the flexibility and control that X1 brought to the production. 'Live shows on tour are never carbon copies of each other. Last-minute changes come up every time, and using X1 meant we were able to keep up with the rest of production and make quick, crucial edits on site thanks to Disguise's timeline workflow.' Jackson Cobb, Video Programmer on Festival Napa Valley added that the travel-ready status of X1 is a game-changer. 'Being able to shut my laptop after the show, put it in my bag and just walk away without transporting a server with me was incredibly freeing.' Kate Freer, projection designer on Festival Napa Valley, stated: 'Having this new solution doesn't totally eliminate the need for server-run shows. There will always be larger productions that require more power. But it makes show control so much more accessible, and being able to use X1 in a festival scenario like this has been a dream.' X1 also features compatibility with tracking and automation systems like Kinesys, Tait Navigator and PSN, and offers APIs for custom integrations. It comes with the same 24/7 expert support Disguise provides across its product line. Available now at $6,000 per year, X1 also offers bundled and educational pricing, making high-end show control more accessible than ever.

Doja Cat reveals what she doesn't want to become
Rapper and singer Doja Cat has made a vow. The rapper has determined to avoid being a "little monster" who "just wants success". The 'Paint the Town Red' singer and rapper is gearing up to drop her fifth studio album, 'Vie', but if the record, or another of her other future projects, fail to perform as well as she hopes she doesn't want to be "up in arms and upset", reports 'Female First UK'. She told V Magazine, "What I want to avoid is that little monster that just wants success. I want to focus more on, How does the mix sound? Do I even need these instruments here? Do I need to recut this verse?'. She further mentioned, "It's how things sound that makes the music worth listening to. I would not be an artist if I didn't care, right? If for any reason a project of mine does a little less good than the last one, I don't want to be up in arms and upset about it. I want to embrace that'. As per 'Female First UK', the 29-year-old star also admitted she is "surprised" by her vocal ability nowadays, insisting she "could not sing" before. She added, "Sometimes I'm surprised by what I can do now, because I could not f****** sing. I have a lot more knowledge of how to use my voice as an instrument, more than I ever have in my life'. Earlier this year, Doja - whose real name is Amala Dlamini - performed James Bond song Diamonds are Forever at the Academy Awards, as part of a 007 tribute. However, some of the performers, including the Streets hitmaker, were trolled for their renditions. Afterwards, Doja admitted she felt "scared" signing the tune on such a big stage, and said the "nerves got to (her)". She wrote on Instagram, "Thanks to the Academy Awards and Vanity Fair for having me. I never get to sing like that and what I did was brave and scary as f*** for me'. "I know a lot of people didn't like it but a lot of people did and I feel good that I pushed myself. The song is a classic and I put a lot of work into it, but the nerves got to me and a b***h hit some flats. I can't wait to do something like that again. What a blessing that was. I feel amazing about the whole thing. Bye', she added. Indo-Asian News Service
