of the more underground parties – women’s nights, darkwave – welcoming goths and S&M affionados, our loyal thai guests with thier enthusiastic bands and some cool bands from around the world. Lounge sees more DJs of various music genres – ranging from, soul, funk, jazz, hip hop, r&b, house, progressive electronic and some indie rock/pop.

We have very lovely things this month (just like previous months) but it seems fuller than usual. First up, taking a break from belly dancing on Fridays, we have percussionist extraodinaire: Muhd Noor and talented Mr Shawn Letts on vocals/keyboards and whanots @ Space on 3rd, 24th and 31st July… It’s world music with jazz influence meaning that we’re going to hear some beautiful sounds

And for ONE night only, all the way from Hong Kong, we present: RiceMagnet – a folk rock group to entertain us on 4th July @ Lounge

Apart from our BRILLIANT resident bands and DJs, youse and youse should make it down for our Electronica Night with COUP DJs ( all them 10 with lounge like stuff to progressive dance tunes) on 10th july – spanning both Lounge and Space.

For a cultural shake up, join our Thai friends with their amateur live band on 17th July @ Space

And I’m particularly excited about Alternate Retro Night, with Brandon P (of velvet fame) helming DJ consol with 2 other friends (brought to you by Knight Runners) on the 18th July @ Lounge – forget Bananaramas and the likes but look forward to The Cure, the Doors, the Killers and such other past jingles.

We just about round up the month with REGGAE @ lounge with DJ Nomsta and guest on the 24th – so come with dreads and chill with a pint or two.

The Observatory launch their album at blu jaz on 25th  and we’re jumpin’ happy beans about it. more details to come. Where? Space!

Mutant Dub comes back with more mind blowin’ sounds on the 25th .. but this is not to say that our resident music makers are to be missed:  Good Times on 3rd July, 44Beats on 11th July, Dustpan Recordings on 17th July, Hafla (belly dance party!) on the 18th July and of course, Pushin’ On on the 31st July.

We introduce a new DJ from Petstov Recordings @ Space on the 7th march. All the way from Spain, DJ Franco not only mixes but produces his own sounds, drawing inspiration from nature – his way is the path of a minimalist.

And on the 14th March, 44Beatz return with their eclectic mix of dance music @ Space, bringing you an intimate party either to chill or rev up.

Dustpan Recordings carry on with a 2nd showing on the 20th March with one of the best mixes of House @ Lounge

See you laddies and ladies at our parties!
