The winds are a playin’ and Blu Jaz has been blessed with good artistes. Apart from enticing music, Blu Jaz is proud to have Ee Shaun worked on our cafe – featuring artwork our sensuously laden mural @ Space (3rd Flr) and his abstract art piece @ Lounge.
This week we bring you a brand new party!
THURSDAY

It’s also MAGIC Thursday – presenting Danny – our close up illusionist. Having garnered several awards and after many guests television appearance in Singapore and Taiwan, Danny is gracing our care with his sleight of hands and some magic chocolate kisses! Chill out at any of our levels and he’ll come to you. 8pm onwards.
FRIDAY
Reggie Pereira takes centrestage @ Cafe this Friday with his own sound : Tribaltide presents Didjitaal Vibes, an organic tribalfunk electronica outfit, dishing out funky deep pocket grooves & rhythms. Combining old school ethnic instruments with a new electronica sound & vibe. Enticed from his abode, he brings friends, Muhd Noor on percussion, Bani on bass and Christine Sham on keys – abroad for a night of LURRRRVE. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe
Dustpan Recordings – our favorite HOUSE DJs return to Lounge with their cool sounds and hot melodies. Respected and appreciated by more than all our toes and fingers put together, we give it up for some wicked beats. 9pm onwards
Our lovely Thai community has gathered once again and will be brining in the band with the local flava – the best in Singapore, with some Thai Pop and Evergreens. Ladies and Gentlemen – it’ll be a blast. 9pm onwards @ Lounge
SATURDAY
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. In fact, we’ll say it many more times. WE LOVE AYASCHOOL! She is at home @ Cafe this Saturday to bring us another crazy ass night…. slightly (JUST A TAD) older and even better, Saturdays are a rock out with Aya and friends. 9:30pm onwards
And as promised, the FIRST TIME EVER - 7 year itch – from the people of Pop Trash, Close yer eyes, dilate yer ears and stomp yer feet to the likes of The Human League, Soft Cell, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Prince, Grace Jones and bags of quintessential and ground breaking tracks long forgotten. Back to the times where wild boys don’t cry and girls just wanted to have fun, a timeless night for all ages young and well, not so young but young at heart. A no holds-barred onslaught of the 80s sound, like you have NEVER heard before.
A month of break and we’re BACK. Hafla – pronounced – Haf – la, it’s Arabic for party and you’ve guessed it – we’re throwing a BELLY DANCE party. Featuring a variety of dancers from various schools – students and teachers alike, party starts from 7:30pm. So get ready for some Middle Eastern Dance music and join us on the dance floor. SPACE.
Peace Out!

UPDATE!
Sat – LOUNGE - 2nd flr!
1306 and 44 Beatz is back for another monthly soiree at Blu Jaz down on Bali Lane. June’s gig finds them on the 2nd Floor with a spruced up sound system and a big bag of tunes. Get set for another eclectic set from Raeburn J as he takes control at 9pm and spins an uplifting, soul fueled mix of Acid Jazz and electronica.
Clark takes to the decks around 11pm for a few hours, moving us into deeper, hi-tech and experimental territory whilst keeping with that new jazz vibe.
Late on Music Makers play back to back n finish the night off with whatever feels right and fits your mood. Could be techno , could be electro or breaks. Last month it was drum n bass and that was fun!
