Good Times is back with their monthly party @ Lounge (2nd Flr) from 9pm onwards. “Good Times” is a unique event where everybody is invited to let their guard down, shimmy on to good old school tunes, funky breaks, and boogie into the night as we up the tempo and beat. Perfect for a night out with your best mates, filled with zany incidents and crazy antics. We invite you to rock up to a night where you are the master of the dance floor. We’ll clear a space for you to bust your signature moves. The night will feature a progressive mix of old school hiphop, breaks, electro, minimal, house, dubstep, dnb and jungle provided by your favorite DJs…

To kick start festivities for the holidays, Greg and his crew will take over Cafe (1st Flr) as usual on Friday and a special guest all the way from Switzerland flies in to unleash her works – music producer/DJ – Harpy Listens. She spins @ Space (3rd Flr) from 9pm onwards. A no one but a someone. A Malaysian born who is based in Switzerland. She is a music junkie who lives a life in music transitions. Trained in classical music during childhood and did a major in Electronic Music during adulthood. Worked in the English Radio world and some side projects for Independent Online Radio. Currently working on a new Folktronica band project. A point where classical/rock exposure and the edgy electronic music exposure meet has resulted in my groove for Electronic Funk Fusion. Do not expect glamourous scratching on vinyls but a journey through her music collection to discover the evolution of Funk and Soul.

12th Jan – 16th Jan

The week before a great Chinese feasting, we see some exciting parties with kick ass (yesssss, really) music towards the end of the week. Grooveworks takes Jan off and will return on Wed in February.. so till Friday, we have ambient music to soothe @ Space and Lounge and jazz play back @ Cafe.

Good food and music continues to 2009 with Monster Trio still taking helm tonight on Friday @ Cafe from 9:30pm onwards. With Greg out of town, Fandi comes in with beautiful vocals.

Saturday night usually belongs to Aya Sekine but for one night only Wicked Aura and friends will take the stage. Regular Aya School “students” Budi and Aidan will be in attendance.
As it is the tradition at Blu Jaz this one’s all about taking the music into a percussive funk samba jam, so expect some serious musical exploration.
