26th April – 1st May

WooYeah – it’s a Labour Day Weekend and still we’ll be labouring for your enjoyment and sanity. We are OPEN on 1st May so don’t be coy and do come out to play. And if rain isn’t your cup of tea, our three story boho-chic shelter offers a nice reprieve (or even as a 2nd home!)

TUESDAY

It’s the showcase of Junior Grooveworks where kids do their thing and belt out jazz tunes. 9pm onwards @ Space

WEDNESDAY

It’s BLINK BL-NK this night @ Space -  where regular people share their expertise about fascinating subjects in a social environment. The events are built around 15 – 20 minute talks on subjects ranging from cutting-edge issues in technology and business to quirky histories, weird science and enriching cultural experiences. Speakers may be leading experts, distinguished hobbyists or simply great story tellers. Interludes between talks are spiced up by carefully curated musical selections.  7pm onwards @ SPACE

And if you’re craving for a night to a different beat, our regular DJ Divine spins out great chillax sounds from the Caribbean island. Lounge out from 9pm onwards!

But if jazz is still your cup of tea, Grooveworks final showcase for the semester happens this Wednesday. Expect the 8 member band to whip up cool compositions and charm your feet onto the dance floor. 9pm onwards@ Cafe

THURSDAY

Jump, hop, lift – it’s Swing Fling again this Thursday. There isn’t need to wax lyrical because the music will be great and dancers friendly. Call on Sing or Brian for a complimentary demo if you’re new to the scene. 8:30pm onwards @ Cafe

FRIDAY

It’s double billing for Aya and her visiting friends from the Land of the Rising Sun bring along their take on jazz. Irashimase! So come on down for a rare treat. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe.

TIS the last Friday of the month, so without doubt, hesitation or vacillation, Pushin’ON electrifies all beings @ Lounge. They churn out your soul, funk with a dash of house and beats. 9:30pm onwards. It’s going to be packed, so keep your outfit comfy and your toes on dance mode.

SATURDAY

For a different sound that is still totally Aya but completely fresh, it’d be a night of improvisation with some classics and crazy sets. So join us, for a celebration – of life. 9:30pm onwards

It’s Guy and Erika @ Lounge for a new sound. Expect personal mixtapes with soundscapes to soothe and intrigue. 9pm onwards.

Peace out!

12th April – 17th April

One hopes that the weekend provided sufficient fun and rest and while the rest of us drones head on back to the 4 walls where our income is generated, our friends are certainly planning a swish, a swoosh and a bang for us this week @ cafe. While we do not have any programs planned for the public today and tomorrow, you’re more than welcome to drop by for an unwinding session with our mojito or a chat with our colleagues working the tables. And then, there is the rest of the week:

WEDNESDAY
It’s a full house this mid-week where you can choose to hang with Grooveworks @ Cafe from 9pm onwards for some seriously fun jazz OR head on up to Lounge with Matrix Jam if you’re a musician. Jam session is opened to all jazz loving players (or vocalist) but of course, be polite, give a shout out to George – our organiser for the night. 8:30pm onwards. But if you’re feeling chilled without them rhythm and blues vibe, go right up to SPACE to greet DJ Divine and his lovely REGGAE sets. 9pm onwards.

THURSDAY
It’s another SWING FLING @ Cafe with the crrrraaazzzyyyy Lindy Hop dancers from Jitterbugs. No, tis not a performance but a chance for you to join in this delightful fray. Never mind, if you can’t dance – you just have to ask Sing or Brian for a complimentary demo, make some friends and you can groove those feet along for the night. 8:30pm onwards

FRIDAY
Step into cafe this Friday with Greg Lyons’ Quartet on stage with some cool sounds. One of our resident jazz band and they be one of them best. You’d be wanting one of them martinis too…. any which way you like them. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe

Head on to Space if you’re feeling some independent spirit because we have Closeapart and Indus Gendi in the house with their own brand of music. Two Bands. No Door Charge. Open your mind a little. 9pm onwards @ Space

SATURDAY
WOOT! Ayaschool is back – rested, rejuvenated and I’m sure some wild mixes up their sleeves. This time, DON’T sit down, but dance off instead from the good vibes coming through. The adjective – great – right before music is understood. Completely. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe

For those who are craving for some exciting electronic sounds, COUP delivers with a wide array of EDM leaning towards the deep and edgy side of things. It’s a bit of everything with elements of deep house, minimal, progressive, trance, tech house, techno, drum and bass and dubstep. 9:30pm onwards @ Lounge.

Peace out, ya’all

5th April – 10th April

MONDAY
It’s the first Monday of the month and Omniform is back with the works! We have a brass section! It’s jazz like you’ve never heard before if you’re new to our scene.

Listening isn’t enough? You need to swing, move, groove, shake? Jitterbugs does a Swing Fling night @ Cafe and DJ mixes up some great music from the 30s to present where lindy hoppers take to the floor.

And if you are not feeling that tame, climb on up where Pushin’ On holds their last do every last Friday of the month with groovy tunes – the kind that takes 70s inspiration but mixed in with breaks, beats and scratching of the modern day ghetto music interpretation. 9:30pm onwards @ Lounge

SATURDAY
Show them some of those smiles, those shaking booties or at least the clapping of them hands…. for AYASCHOOL! It’s hard to consistently come up such incredible music but week after week, they do! 9:30pm @ Cafe (there is NO reason not to be here!)

8th March – 13th March

I’ve always found the word, swarmy, fascinating. The fact that it does not exist makes it more so. However, one has the freedom of coining words while out of the serious literary context. And this week seems to tell of swarmy weather – and in which case, we recommend a glass of iced cool tea – with a punch, if you will.
