I admit I was slightly sceptical of UK duo Deepgroove (Lee Pattison and Grayson Shipley) before they even got on – I was ready to spend another hour liquoring up for the dancefloor, but I can safely say that these boys blew away my bitter old expectations. Lucky punters at Zouk on Friday (well, the [...]
If the closing of Tartines earlier in the year wasn’t enough (we still miss you every day Tartines, RIP) now we’ve taken a double hit with the closure of the All Natural Kitchen at Amoy Street Food Centre previously run by the lovely Kenny and his mum. Seriously, where on earth are we to eat [...]
Hmm, so what do we think about this eh? MOS has shut its doors with what looks like some kind of law suit going on. Sigh, I will miss Studio 54.

Dear Media/Partners,
Termination of Ministry of Sound Singapore With effect from today, Monday, 6 October 2008, the Licence
Agreement dated 29 April 2005 entered into [...]
When my mate, ESPN senior producer and anchor Glenn Connley, remarked that for some people Formula 1 was more a spectator sport than a sport-sport, he was spot-on.
And what a show Singapore put on.
The first ever Formula 1 night race was not only the most exciting, nailbiting, tension-filled race of the year, but also a [...]
Considering the success of The Contender: Asia earlier this year, it’s no surprise that producer Mark Burnett has decided to set the original, The Contender, in Singapore this time around. Filming already started in late September, as 16 professional boxers from around the world duke it out in an undisclosed location (our bet is that [...]
And so Biennale fever continues…
On Wednesday, a few of the TOS crew ventured out to Collectors Contemporary for
Confabulation…which was a breath of fresh air. It was liberating being able to enjoy pieces that didn’t look like blobular animals or children.
Note: [I’m not thinking Fernando Botero more like, Qi Yuwu’s ‘Beary Ambitious’ exhibition in June [...]
And so Biennale fever begins..
On Monday, a few of the TOS crew ventured out to the ‘Central
Promontory Site’ (seriously the most unhelpful venue name ever - even though the invitation had a map on it) on Marina Boulevard for a talk by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban/Club 21’s Art of the T exhibition. We were under [...]
In what counts as one of the more random nights out in a while, I was about to leave the supperclub launch party (having had my fill of interpretive dance and meat on a stick) when a rumour got around that American director Spike Lee was making an appearance at 11pm. Granted, I couldn’t tell [...]
I was really looking forward to the launch of supperclub Singapore as; let’s be honest – we aren’t always swamped with such trendy places opening up in our city. I haven’t been to any of the other supperclubs and was curious to see how it would look. So last night, a little too eagerly perhaps, [...]
Singfest is certainly off to a good start in its 2nd year, but the infant of music festivals needs a bit of fine-tuning.
The line up was most certainly impressive, and the perfomers did not fail to deliver. Pussy Cat dolls must’ve been dancing at 3000 beats per second; Panic at the Disco’s energetic performance saw [...]
