If it’s a party that you are still hankering after, GOOD TIMES returns! An intro for the NOOBS: the party is an unique event produced by BEDSTY PARTIES, where everybody is invited to let loose, and be treated to good old school tunes, funky breaks, and boogie into the night as we up the tempo and beat. Every month our favourite DJs will be dropping a quality mix of Breaks, Hip-Hop, Drum & Bass, Dubstep and everything in between. As always, entry is FREE, drinks are cheap and clothing is optional*. You bring the good vibes and we’ll settle the rest.

Come SATURDAY - AYASCHOOL mixed a rare combination to bring you some kick-a$$ tunes: Kerong on organ (a real treat!) , Wen Ming on drums and of course Aya on keys. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe. If you feel the need to be soothed and reflect, head on up to LOUNGE with Noel Cabangon‘s acoustic performance with support from bands: KARRA and QUIVER - SGD 15 for entry and performance starts at 7pm.

That’s all for the first week of 2012, folks. Enjoy
