While Singapore’s concert calendar is currently bursting at the seams, the city has sorely lacked a proper, curated electronic music festival since the golden days of Laneway. Enter Rainbow Disco Club. The critically acclaimed Japanese festival is officially landing on our shores this October 3 and 4.
Its unofficial George Michael-inspired club motto, "guilty feet have no rhythm", tells you everything. Over its 17-year run, RDC has welcomed a wide range of musical genres from disco to techno, platforming international headliners like Four Tet, Floating Points, as well as Japanese talent like DJ Nobu and Wata Igarashi. In Japan, it's held outdoors on the scenic cross-country course in Higashi-Izu, but it's also been known to take over locations like warehouses, rooftops, and parks.
RDC has since gone global to places like Bali and London. For its Singapore edition, it's partnered up with local collective Ice Cream Sundays for three sessions held over two days. The full line-up has not been revealed, but RDC has dropped a couple of tantalising hints.
The day session on October 3 (Saturday) will be held open-air at Tanjong Pagar Distripark. Expect a live set by one of Japan's electronic maestros, closing with a set by "a legendary digger and label owner". This transitions into the night session at Cargo39, a warehouse session with two Asian techno legends.
To wind down from all that excitement, there will be a recovery session on October 4 (Sunday) at Rasa Space. This intimate shindig will feature three Asian electronic musicians in a three-way collaboration.
