3rd May – 7th May

The fun continues while we transition from warm to hot. If you’ve got a music craving tonight, do swing by as OMNIFORM will be strutting their sheets of music – all originals – composed by Greg Lyons. Let this night set the mood right for the rest of the week. 9pm onwards @ Cafe

AYASCHOOL will start Bebop Jazz sessions this THURSDAY @Cafe. The best for the first gig featuring Shawn Letts (Sax), Jojo Martinez (Bass), Darryl Ervin (drums) and her Majesty Aya Sekine.

And if some dancing is what you’re looking for, Jitterbugs Dance school and Blu Jaz bring you Swing Fling every THURSDAY where songs of early 1900s can be heard in our lazy corner while the Lindy Hoppers dance the night away. 8:30pm onwards @ SPACE

It’s like Birthday Week @ Blu Jaz- celebrating it on a THURSDAY @ Space is our wonderful handsome Monsieur Ben – the go-to guy for Blu Jaz Events. (go on up to Space to say hi!) AND for our great partner in music – Good Times are taking the three floors to blow the candles this FRIDAY from 9pm onwards. Expect nothing but good tunes but if you really need the specific: it’s funk, hiphop, mashups, electro, dubstep and dnb with DJs Krumbs, J-Stylez and Syafii G from Bedsty, DJs Rough, DJ Darren Dubwise. and guest DJ: DJ Platurn from USA.

And I did say Birthday! 44 Beatz takes charge of both Lounge and Space on SATURDAY and turns ONE!  Throwing the mother of all Birthday Parties, they’ve got, spinning alongside residents Clark & Raeburn J,  great friend and long time collaborator Reiki (Breakin Asia). She was there when they started so its fantastic to welcome her back! From a familiar face to a new one Justin Jh (Coup) joins us for his Soundscapes debut, no stranger to Blu Jaz it’s a pleasure to have him on board. Lastly and without question by no means least Soundscape is once again privileged to have X’ho back amongst us. Musician, producer, poet and host of Lush FM’s Clubscape this man is without doubt a custodian of Singapore’s electronic scene. Essentially starting off chilled, sophisticated and relaxed before pushing the tempo and ending up in a hot, trashy, fever-pitched mess. JOIN US!

If you aren’t quite feeling the Mother of All Parties but still feeling a fevered and crazzeeee, head on down to Cafe on Saturday from 9:30pm onwards with AYASCHOOL. Always awesome, always fun.

Peace Out!

19th April – 23rd April

A layer of ash covers Europe’s sky but over in Singapore, we’re still sunny. Mostly, anyhow. And we do have our regulars as well as some new kids in our block to entertain you.

MONDAY (TODAY!)
Yes! Darren Moore’s Quintet is IN DA HOUSE. And if you’re looking for his arrangement, there is no better time than now to catch it. 8:30pm @ Space. Cover Charge applies – to feed them musicians.

WEDNESDAY
Mr Divine soothes the raging beasts in us with some great reggae mix. So head on up to Lounge and tap along with his brand of tunes from Jamaica. 9pm onwards

THURSDAY
And of course, the one official day of the week where Cafe turns to dance floor with our good people from Jitterbugs with SWING FLING. A night of Lindy Hopping and for those newbies – never fear, you can ask for a complimentary demo. Look for Sing or Brian. 8:30pm onwards

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

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

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.
