20th June – 25th June

It’s brand new week and we’re gearing up for some serious fun. ok – not so serious but very amusing fun, marvelous fun, sensational fun.. you get the drift.

This WEDNESDAY - Blu Jaz is pleased to work with UNIFEM to raise awareness against Sex-Trafficking. It’s a rock out with great bands, talented musicians and aspiring poets….. and the names on this list are: Ah5ive. Luke Nicholas Foo, The Cosmic Order, Cindy Try, Catalogue V, The Bakerloo Line and Elyzia… join us at CAFE or SPACE (1st and 3rd Flr) for the live action from 7:30pm onwards.

For the selective ears, we have Jeremy Tordjman & Pals, paired up with MiG, to give us some be-au-ti-ful music. Coming live to you from SPACE (3rd Flr), sweet notes of jazz can be heard. SGD 10 for entry to fabulous sounds (and feed the creative peeps) from 8pm onwards on THURSDAY.

And come FRIDAY, we have Fungki Munkees in da house. That means a night of lovely jazz and blues to take us into the weekend. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe. And being the last Friday of the month, we have PUSHIN’ON on up @ Lounge and Space: The Mighty Mighty has a starring role together with Pushin’On residents DJ Shellsuit, DJ Chunk, DJ Dave Code & Masterpiece. They be spinning funk, soul, hip-hop, jazz, swing, disco, boogie and rockabilly over 2 floors of Blu Jaz Café. Over in our sister outlet: Piedra Negra, we give a shout out to world music lovers: Worldbeat Soundscape – hosted by DJs will start breathing Nigerian Afro Beats, boisterous beats of Batucada from Favelas of Brazil and Afro-Cuban Jazz from 9pm onwards on the 2nd Flr.

Just when you think you’re all partied out….. it’s SATURDAY and Ayaschool takes stage to get things-a-movin’ again. A dash of acid, a sprinkle of improv, a dollop of classics and we have great music going on. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe. Or head on up to Lounge where CHROAM presents.. CUE: the music – an eclectic mix of urban sounds – it’s about the people and music so bring your groove, an open mind as the CHROAM boys bring the house party to you. 9:30pm onwards.

Peace Out. Yo.

13th June – 18th June

hello kiddies. I feel you – the Monday morning slug hit all of us – but nothing a few cup of Java beans can’t fix – though brewed would taste better than its original form.

It’s a fairly cool start to the week where we be bringing you Eddy’s Revival Jam session this WEDNESDAY. And if you aren’t feeling up to being on stage, hang back to enjoy the great sounds. 9pm onwards @ Cafe

Aya gets a double billing this week and introduces her eclectic showcase this FRIDAY and SATURDAY. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe and both nights see ace musicians at our stage with jazz, funk, soul and loads of improv fused with electro.

And if it’s a dance party, you crave for, 44 BEATZ turns our lounge to a wicked pumpin’ place this FRIDAY from 9pm onwards with TFIF. Thank f*ck it’s Friday. Elevate your mind aboard the Soundscapes mothership. A cosmic odyssey.  Wave upon wave of deep, tech beats and captivating hooks – interlaced with tripped out vocals and sublime strings. At the controls are interstellar renegades RTYPE, BUCKERS, JANVIN & 44BEATZ.  Transcend the dusk to taste the dawn. Blend cocktails, friends and great sounds in true halcyon style.

We tone it down a notch on SATURDAY @ LOUNGE with REGGAE NIGHT - groove to the beat or tap to the rhythm  – your choice. Always. 9:30pm onwards.

Peace Out. yo.

Come SATURDAY - we see AYASCHOOL - with our lovely Aya and her fantastic mix of music, passion and soul. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe – expect greatness.

25th April – 30th April

It’s a little hard to remain apathetic when the air is filled with a certain sort of buzz and the general elections, this year, seem to evoke more ambivalent sentiments than before….. at least that is what the coffee shop uncle says…. be it the polls or an epiphany on your rest of your life, we offer you space for that philosophical discussion among friends.

But if you’re hankering for a little music – we start mid week (WEDNESDAY) with Matrix Jam @ Lounge – bring your instruments down and I guess the only rule is keep up with the rest of the musicians – and yes, your vocals IS your instrument too… look for George from 8:30pm onwards

From notes to words – we bring you POETRY SLAM @ SPACE on THURSDAY - join our budding and aspiring poets – from solemn to quirky, from passionate to the darker realm, speak. We give you the stage. From 8pm onwards

And then it’s the weekend – we bring you some great blues from FunkyMunkees on FRIDAY - the young band with experienced sounds – close your eyes and dream of trip along the Mississippi – Tom Sawyer-like. 9:30pm @ Cafe. But if it’s a party you’re craving for, Pushin’On is going to bring it – featuring Brandon P, Masterpiece and the Mighty Mighty – right along with resident DJs Shellsuit, Chunk, Dave Code and Gonzo covering dance music in funk, soul, hip-hop, disco, boogie, swing, jazz, latin, reggae, rockabilly and afrobeat. 9:30pm @ Lounge.

On SATURDAY, we bring you some cool sounds with IRESON - a trio who boasts some of the best latin-jazz mixes you’ll get to hear around town. 9:30pm @ Cafe. The party continues with 44 Beatz @ Lounge from 9:30pm onwards with some great Techhouse and Electro – it’s Soundscapes with great sounds and the catalyst to your dancing from night till dawn.

And we’ll give a shout out for our sister at PIEDRA NEGRA with Passion(sensation – also residing temporary on the 2nd flr of Piedra on Saturday. And TRANCE is the main course on the menu that night.

WOOT! Let’s boogie!
Peace. Yo.

We start mid-week, this time round, with exercising our funny bone. It’s Stand Up for Singapore Comedy night again!
