22nd Sept – 26th Sept

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri! We hope that you found yourselves a nice quiet time to relax, meditate as we did the same! Today we open to sunshine after a few days of ‘mist’ and rain! Come celebrate life with us…. so this week:

WEDNESDAY

Join Groovework for another groovy jazz set – apologies for the corn but the mood IS upbeat. They’ve got the cool sets and the hot notes for your listening ear and this is happening from 9pm onwards @ Cafe

DJ Divine is IN DA HOUSE - a night of Reggae – it’s Jamaican groove @ Lounge from 9pm onwards (every wed – if you must know, except when we say so – and it isn’t so this wed)

THURSDAY

Magic Swing Fling it is – ahoy to all lovely laddies and ladies – the beat is on, the period – Charleston, the attire – dancing shoes are a must as long as with dancing spirits! Jitterbugs Swingapore presents a complimentary class at 7:30pm onwards@Cafe for those who are curious or simply, need a refresher – Look for SING at the sound console. And if you’re taking a breather from all that jazz, look out for Danny, roving to delight you with some fantastical magic.

FRIDAY

HooHaa – it’s Pocket Sessions to bring us from September to October and Willy Garthright helms with his funky bass and friends to bring about a spot-on funk and jazz session. 9:30pm @ Cafe

And our long standing and beloved Pushin’ On might just bring the roof down with more funk, soul and R&B - given the superb track choices and the faultless mixes. 9pm onwards @ Lounge

Without fanfare, and airs, our humble and outstanding duo is back to woo us with World Music – featuring Muhd Noor and Shawn Letts (sorry for the last minute replacement last week but this week – they be back!) 9:30pm onwards @ Space

SATURDAY

The whole gang is down with AYASCHOOL - featuring Fendi on Vox, Azman on Bass, Tama on the bang bang percussions and of course Aya on KEYS - it’s always happening with this crew! 9:30pm @ Cafe

And new to our establishment, it gives us great pleasure to welcome DJ Andrew McKay, all the way from Australia – at least at some point, to give us some jazz, some soul, some latin and some house. 9:30pm @ Lounge

So see you all reaaaaal soon.

Peace Out

24th Aug – 29th Aug

It’s a double bill @ Space with World Music by Muhd “Magic Fingers” Noor on percussion (and sometimes vocals) and Shawn “Don’t Mess with Me” Letts on keyboard, sax and vox.

44 Beatz duet with Rey and Clarke – With plans to keep with the Acid Jazz base, throw over a marinade of deep, funky slices. Pepper liberally with Techouse and Detroit techno and finish off with an Electro, Drum n Bass garnish. Know this – it’s gonna be one hell of a freaky pizza! 9pm onwards @ Lounge

Peace out ya’all
